Today I have an exciting lesson for our intermediate learners ✨
We will get acquainted with modern Tatar indie music, enjoy the melody, and translate the lyrics. You can listen to this track on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube. The latter even has visuals for the whole experience. The original lyrics are taken from Genius and translated into English by a genius too 😜

OMMAGE – THE GAME
It’s a lie
It’s a game
And I don't know myself
Whose game I’m playing
In a cold room
All alone
Night and day
I stay lonely
No feelings
There are no feelings in my heart
Masks have sunk into my face
A game
Every time I wake up
Roles have defeated my personality
I pick
the best pictures
I make
my peers jealous
It’s a lie
It’s a game
And I don't know myself
Whose game I’m playing
In a cold room
All alone
Night and day
I stay lonely
Many things
But all of them are garbage
Emptiness is ringing in my heart
Silence
The whole thickness of this book
Is just its cover
I pick
the best pictures
I make
my peers jealous
It’s a lie
It’s a game
And I don't know myself
Whose game I’m playing
In a cold room
All alone
Night and day
I stay lonely
I hope you added the song to your playlist and could do a little karaoke and sing along 🎤
