Translation help needed (Russian - English). I would be very grateful if someone could help me with the lines: Зажглись и потихоньку догорим Когда нас много начинается пожар It's from a song and I know all the words separately, but I am having trouble with the meaning of the whole sentences. Thank you :)

Charlotte, Мне кажется, что мы давно неживы - зажглись и потихоньку догорим. Когда нас много начинается пожар, It seems to me that we have been lifeless for a long time --lit we are silently burning away. When there are many of us the fire starts

Hi! I am not perfect on English but I'll try. “(We) have burned up and will die out (burn down) slowly (and gradualy down or bit by bit)." "When we are large (when we are forming a crowd) the wildfire are inspirited (or: we inspirit a wildfire)." You have wrote: "It's from a song and I know all the words separately, but I am having trouble with the meaning of the whole sentences". And the same is very often with me! Success both of us!

"Зажглись и потихоньку догорим" - Молодой человек полон сил, в нем как будто огонь. К смерти человек догорает и затухает( энергии нет, ничего уже не хочется) "Когда нас много начинается пожар" - в каждом человеке, в душе есть огонь. А теперь представь, если людей много. Огни совмещаются и получается пожар. Это заметно на музыкальном концерте, толпа как будто питается одной энергией, как одно целое.

Charlotte, to understand this you should take 4 lines from the song: Мне кажется, Что мы давно не живы - Зажглись и потихоньку догорим... Когда нас много,начинается пожар, И города похожи на крематорий и базар The meaning is (for my opinion) we (people) were born (зажглись) and live now but in usual way, our live is the same day by day and when we die it won't be like a death of famous person, just quiet death. Next 2 lines - I think you can feel it in big cities, when a city is full of people (overpopulation), everybody is in a hurry, people are rude, full on negative emotions, air pollution, traffic jams and you feel your self like inside a fire. Long explanation :) I hope it'll help you
