СЛАДКА ИРОНИЯ (SLADKA IRONIYA) Lyrics Meaning

[Припeв: Мартина, I.N.I.]
This part talks about two people who used to miss each other deeply, but now things have changed. There’s a mix of sadness and freedom — they admit they still feel the loss, yet they’ve learned to live on their own. It’s a bittersweet feeling, a “sweet irony,” where love once hurt but now feels freeing.

[Куплeт 1: I.N.I.]
Here, he looks back on their long, complicated relationship. Every memory pulls him back, reminding him how her love once saved him but now feels heavy and hard to escape. He knows it’s not healthy to keep going back, yet he still looks for her, almost out of habit. He sees how she plays with emotions, not fully knowing what she wants, but he can’t deny that their connection still works. Even when things get toxic, the spark keeps them tangled. He doesn’t see an end and secretly enjoys the tension, even though he pretends not to care. He wants her to call again because, despite everything, it keeps life exciting and far from boring.

[Прeдприпeв: I.N.I.]
(This section isn’t provided in the lyrics, so it seems to lead into the chorus with emotional buildup, likely showing his inner struggle before returning to the main hook.)

[Припeв: Мартина, I.N.I.]
Once again, they reflect on the strange twist of fate — they used to chase each other desperately, but now that they’ve grown apart, it feels oddly peaceful. Both miss the closeness, yet they enjoy their personal freedom. It’s that funny mix of nostalgia and relief that makes the “sweet irony” so powerful.

[Куплeт 2: Мартина]
She knows exactly what he’s up to — where he goes, who he’s with, and how he behaves — and none of it surprises her anymore. She admits he still knows how to push her buttons and keep her hooked. Even though she should move on, she doesn’t truly want it to end. Deep down, she hopes he realizes the same thing. She sees reminders of him everywhere and feels drawn back to him again. She invites him to call and see where this ironic connection takes them, enjoying the sweetness of their complicated bond.

[Припeв: Мартина, I.N.I.]
They come back to the same realization — the nights of longing are gone, and while they still miss each other, they’ve both found a strange joy in being apart. Love has turned into freedom, and that contrast between pain and peace feels beautifully ironic and emotionally satisfying.
