"Borschstjii" reminds me of some Russian folk melody, but I can't quite grasp which one. The song is funny :-) Also in the middle of the song, E-type shouts, "Vodka! Spasibo!" (Which means "Vodka! Thank you!" in Russian). I don't understand what "Borschstjii" means, though. I can't even pronounce it! Maybe, something concerning Borsch (since he shouts Borsch all the time)?

Also, in "No More Tears" he sings "I move like in M.A.D." What does M.A.D. stand for? Does it mean that he moves like mad? I just translate the lyrics for my Russian friend and I don't know how to translate this. Does anyone know?

:)

I think the "tjii" there is the sound he makes after Borsch. you know he shouts it like "borssssccccchhhhhh.." and then there's "tjii" or something like that... ;)

I have no idea what the **** it's supposed to mean, but I'm sure it has somekinda meaning to him as he made it :)

the same with M.A.D ...I would imagine it means mad, but he has put it like that to "fir the rhyme"? that's a wild guess... there might be a meaning for that also, but... someone should ask him!

I'm Russian, so I know what borsch means, the thing is that it's borsch and not Borschtjii. I think Myra is right and only E-type knows what it means. Also, just for the information, borsch is a Ukrainan soup(and this particular vegetable that grows underground is called beetroot). Russian national soup is shchi (cabbage soup).

I don't think it's Kalinka, even if you add extra beat, it's far from Kalinka. I heard it somewhere, I just can't grasp where and what is it exactly. All my Russian friends here say that they heard this folk song, but don't remember what it is . I even asked my mom to listen, she said that it's some folk song, but definetely not Kalinka. When I listen to it, I have a strange feeling, like the answer is just floating on the top of my head. :-)))))))))))))

I'm sorry, but it's really too hard to explain all this in english... anyway, it's not something very important.
