Translation of the song Музыка artist Novella Matveeva

Вы объяснили музыку словами.

You used some words for music explanation

Но, видно, ей не надобны слова —

Apparently, it does not really need the words,

Не то она, соперничая с вами,

It otherwise itself would use them for persuasion

Словами изъяснялась бы сама.

To argue you, forgetting perfect fifths and minor thirds

И никогда (для точности в науке)

And would have always been on scientific grounds

Не тратила бы времени на звуки.

Without wasting time on those unconvincing sounds.
