Eddie Huntington - U.S.S.R.
(R.Turatti-M.Chieregato-T.Beecher Hooker)
Day in the night
Taking places in the train to Moscow
Now I'm coming back to drink some iced vodka
Landscape in white
Sun is shining through the icicles
I'm dancing in the snow to balalaikas
Time can go by but the Russian girls
Don't ever seem to leave my mind
Fine don't you see why I should even
Try to leave my heart behind
U.S.S.R. I'm back into the U.S.S.R. (repeat)
Now this time I'm on vacation
And I'm going to have some fun
Rocking in Gorki park
Time can go by but Russian girls
Don't ever seem to leave my mind
Fine don't you see why I should even
Try to leave my heart behind
U.S.S.R. I'm back into the U.S.S.R. (repeat)
Red Army Blues
The Waterboys
When I left my home and my family
My mother said to me
Son, its not how many germans you kill that counts
Its how many people you set free
So I packed my bags
Brushed my cap
Walked out into the world
Seventeen years old
Never kissed a girl
Took the train to Voronezh
That was as far as it would go
Changed my sacks for a uniform
Bit my lip against the snow
I prayed for mother Russia
In the summer of 43
And as we drove the germans back
I really believed
That God was listening to me
We howled into Berlin
Tore the smoking buildings down
Raised the red flag high
Burnt the reichstag brown
I saw my first american
And he looked a lot like me
He had the same kinda farmers face
Said hed come from some place called Hazzard, Tennessee
Then the war was over
My discharge papers came
Me and twenty hundred others
Went to stettiner for the train
Kiev! said the commissar
From there your own way home
But I never got to kiev
We never came by home
Train went north to the taiga
We were stripped and marched in file
Up the great siberian road
For miles and miles and miles and miles
Dressed in stripes and tatters
In a gulag left to die
All because comrade Stalin was scared that
Wed become too westernized!
Used to love my country
Used to be so young
Used to believe that life was
The best song ever sung
I would have died for my country
In 1945
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
The brute will to survive!

In europe and america, theres a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the soviets
Mr. krushchev said we will bury you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from oppenheimers deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president
Theres no such thing as a winnable war
Its a lie that we dont believe anymore
Mr. reagan says we will protect you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is that the russians love their children too
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the soviets

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...

Mother Russia how are you sleeping
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow
Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by
Mother Russia
Dance of the czars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
Turning the tides of history
And your past
Mother Russia
Dance of the stars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release
The anger the grief
Can you be happy
Now your people are free
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow
Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by
Mother Russia
Dance of the czars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
Turning the tides of history
And your past
Mother Russia
Dance of the stars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release
The anger the grief
Can you be happy
Now your people are free

La place Rouge était vide
Devant moi marchait Nathalie
Il avait un joli nom, mon guide
Nathalie
La place Rouge était blanche
La neige faisait un tapis
Et je suivais par ce froid dimanche
Nathalie
Elle parlait en phrases sobres
De la révolution d'octobre
Je pensais déjà
Qu'après le tombeau de Lénine
On irait au cafe Pouchkine
Boire un chocolat
La place Rouge était vide
J'ai pris son bras, elle a souri
Il avait des cheveux blonds, mon guide
Nathalie, Nathalie...
Dans sa chambre à l'université
Une bande d'étudiants
L'attendait impatiemment
On a ri, on à beaucoup parlé
Ils voulaient tout savoir
Nathalie traduisait
Moscou, les plaines d'Ukraine
Et les Champs-Élysées
On à tout melangé
Et l'on à chanté
Et puis ils ont débouché
En riant à l'avance
Du champagne de France
Et l'on à dansé
Et quand la chambre fut vide
Tous les amis etaient partis
Je suis resté seul avec mon guide
Nathalie
Plus question de phrases sobres
Ni de révolution d'octobre
On n'en était plus là
Fini le tombeau de Lenine
Le chocolat de chez Pouchkine
C'est, c'était loin déjà
Que ma vie me semble vide
Mais je sais qu'un jour à Paris
C'est moi qui lui servirai de guide

El grupo aleman Dschingis Khan cantó la canción Dschingis Khan para representar a Alemania en el Festival de Eurovsión del año 1979, donde lograron un honroso cuarto puesto.

Citar:
Sie ritten um die Wette mit dem Steppenwind, tausend Mann (Haa, Huu, Haa)
Und einer ritt voran, dem folgten alle blind, Dschingis Khan
Die Hufe ihrer Pferde durchpeitschten den Sand
Sie trugen Angst und Schrecken in jedes Land
Und weder Blitz noch Donner hielt sie auf
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter - Ho Reiter - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
Auf Brüder! - Sauft Brüder! - Rauft Brüder! - Immer wieder!
Lasst noch Wodka holen
Denn wir sind Mongolen
Und der Teufel kriegt uns früh genug!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter - Ho Reiter - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Männer - Ho Männer - Tanzt Männer - So wie immer!
Und man hört ihn lachen
Immer lauter lachen
Und er leert den Krug in einem Zug
Und jedes Weib, das ihm gefiel, das nahm er sich in sein Zelt
Es hieß, die Frau, die ihn nicht liebte, gab es nicht auf der Welt
Er zeugte sieben Kinder in einer Nacht
Und über seine Feinde hat er nur gelacht
Denn seiner Kraft konnt keiner widerstehen
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter - Ho Reiter - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
Auf Brüder! - Sauft Brüder! - Rauft Brüder! - Immer wieder!
Lasst noch Wodka holen
Denn wir sind Mongolen
Und der Teufel kriegt uns früh genug!

He Reiter - Ho Reiter - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan

Und man hört ihn lachen
