propaganda song v.0.1

Post by Hank W. » Thu Oct 26, 2006 1:25 am

My granny used to hum the refrain...

Kerenski* se leipoi kuivan taikinan
Suolaksi hän aikoi pienen Suomenmaan.
Ai, ai, Kerenski, turha on sun toiveesi,
Suomi on jo vapaa maa ryssän vallasta.

Puolanmaa on jauhot, Viro hiivana.
Ukraina on sokeri, Liivi liemenä
Aunus, Vepsä, Inkeri, Doni, Krimi, Kaukaasi
Kardemummit, sahraimet, voit ja maustineet.

Taikina se paisui, kiehui, kohosi,
Kerenski se riehui, sotki, hämmensi.
Vot, kak, hyvää taikinaa, harvoin sitä nähdä saa,
Suolaista ja makeaa, niin kuin hunajaa.

Helsingissä kerran kävi Kerenski,
Tokoille hän siellä suuta suikkasi.
Suomen herrat lumosi, taikinahan survosi.
Ai, ai, Kerenski, turhat toiveesi!

Saksan koira jalo kaatoi taikinan
Hiivat, suolat ahmi kitaansa mahtavaan.
Kokki itse karkasi, ulkomaille laukkasi.
Ai, ai, Kerenski, turhat toiveesi!


Kerenski baked a dry dough
Finland wanted he as salt
Oh oh Kerenski, futile is your wish this,
Finland is already a free land from Russian power

Poland is the flour, Estonai as yeast,
Ukraine as sugar, Livonia as sauce
Aunus, Veps, Ingria, Don, Crimea, Caucasus
Chardamom, saffron, butter and spices

The dough it bloated, baked , rose
Kerenski was raving, mixing, baking it
[Well, look] rarely you see such good dough
Salty and sweet, like honey

In Helsinki visited Kerenski
To Tokoi** gave a kiss***
Finnish lords enchanted
stuffed them in the dough
Oh, oh Kerenski::

The German dog came, toppled the pot,
ate yeast and salt in its mouth wide,
the cook himself escaped, galloped abroad
Oh oh Kerenski...

* Kerenski = Aleksander Kerenski, Russian provisionary gvt. leader before the Bolshevik coup in 1917
** Tokoi = Oskari Tokoi, head of Finnish Senate in 1917 K. vivsited trying to control the pro-German movement
*** (Russian style, old men on the mouth. yecchh...)
