(25,699 posts)1. The song is titled, "Like A Red Prison"
English translation of lyrics, from video description:
Gruel-Propaganda, Gruel-Propagandaaaa!
The country has hardly mastered
Mechanized labor.
More and more often when I'm working hard ?
I am rude ? don't know if it's appropriate.
Local activists flow down the pipeline,
Filling it with life and calling for destruction!
Federal Penitentiary Service, Interior Ministry, Emergency Situations Ministry, and Rosnano,
LUKoil, TNK, Rosneft, and Gazprom,
Gruel-Propaganda, Gruel-Propagandaaaa!
Get registration,
Evildoers at the oil towers,
Oil on the tables,
Sechin with crocodiles,
Like in a red prison.
Bathe the worker in the Norwegian fjord,
Cut off your penis like the Depardieu character,
You have a president like Iran???s ayatollah,
And your church is like it is in the U.A.E.
So, let everything be like it is in Qatar,
Evildoers at the oil towers,
Pumping till its dry,
A physics university teaches theology,
Epaulettes and oil wells,
Navalny in jail,
Hugo Chavez lives,
Like in a red prison.
Evil fucking sexist, leave the hole alone!
Homophobic vermin, out from history!
Don't fuck with her pussycat,
She spends oil on something else.
In the Mordovian days' quiet,
She makes salads and sometimes eats them.

(25,699 posts)5. I love Pussy Riot
Punk in general is my preferred genre, and they have a very great, very raw sound.
That said, I can't help but assume the lyrics make way more sense in Russian... or at least hope so, or that maybe the translation came from google translate or something... 'cause that makes no damn sense at all

(8,045 posts)6. Yeah, I have the sense that the lyrics
refer to things that would make more sense to Russians. And it probably is not a great translation. Great sound though, just amazing energy.
Remember Bikini Kill?
Olden but golden!
Best wishes.

Russia is a stalwart protector of civil liberties, so says St. Edward!
