Vladimir Putin :

“One must not allow oneself to skip into isolationism and unbridled economic egoism. Though the certain strengthening of protectionism becomes inevitable, we will still need to keep the sense of proportion. The second possible mistake would be excessive interference into the economic life of the country and absolute faith into the almightiness of the state,” Putin said.

I'm Happy But You Don't Like Me


Ano kumo o miteru

Kotori ga tonderu

Ureshii kedo kimi wa watashi ga kirai



Futari de koi shite

Tanoshii tokoro e ikitai kedo

Kimi wa dokonimo inai



Naze kietai no

Kimi wa nigeteru no

Naze naze doshite

Kimi ga daisuki, daisuki, daisuki, suki nano ni



translation:

i'm looking at a cloud

a small bird is flying

i'm happy but you don't like me



let's fall in love

i want to go to a fun place but

you aren't around



why do you want to disappear?

why are you running away?

why why why

when i love you love you love you
