Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong
I will suppress my feelings, but not pride ... "
The video for the song, filmed in Kiev's Troyeshchyna, turned out to be really spectacular: the burning of a white Mercedes, the charming Charlie in a floating dress, and even a snow-white horse! All this perfectly contrasts with the background in the form of Kiev Khrushchev... Bliss for aesthetes.
