2018, Ploho [Ploho] (lyrics and music), “У бога есть ад [U boga jestʹ ad]”, in Куда птицы улетают умирать:
Никому́ не спря́таться за те́нью огра́д, Ты э́то зна́ешь сам, ка́ждый зна́ет сам. Ведь да́же у бо́га есть свой ад, Э́то его́ любо́вь к нам, э́то его́ любовь к нам...
Nikomú ne sprjátatʹsja za ténʹju ográd, Ty éto znáješʹ sam, káždyj znájet sam. Vedʹ dáže u bóga jestʹ svoj ad, Éto jevó ljubóvʹ k nam, éto jevó ljubovʹ k nam...
Usually not capitalized in Russian in the sense of idol, or when referring to a single god with a polytheistic pantheon. It is normally capitalized in monotheistic sense, such as in Christian or Islamic discourse (see Бог(Box)), except for some common set expressions.[1]
