Does anyone know what this means?

My friend told me: “There’s a song on my computer that is gibberish (as far as I can tell) because it was originally typed in Russian. And I only know it’s Russian because of the website in the file info. It could be French. I just wish I knew what it’s called and how it got on my computer.”  
Thanks!

If you change your browser’s encoding to “Cyrillic (Windows)” you will see the Russian characters that roughly transliterate as:

Yurii Antonov – Krysha Doma Tvoyego (Although, in this case, that “g” is prounced as a “v”)

The title means “Roof of your house”

Hmm… thanks! I hope I can change it back again… that is, if I could figure out how to do it in Mozilla. 😉
