Matti Jurva: Njet Molotov

Happily singing went Ivan to war but after arriving to the Mannerheim Line, The tune changed to dismal, as we can hear:


Finlandia, Finlandia, Ivan was going there again.
Molotov promised: "Everything will be haroshii (otlichno, fine), we will eat maroshii (morozhenoe, ice cream) at Helsinki tomorrow. Njet Molotov, njet Molotov, you told more lies than Bobrikov (the Governor-General of Grand Duchy of Finland between 1898-1904) himself.


Finlandia, Finlandia, Mannerheim Line was a tough obstacle. When a dreadful fire started in Karelia, ramble of many Ivan's ended.
Njet Molotov, njet Molotov, you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.


Finlandia, Finlandia, the invincible Red Army is afraid of Finland.
And Molotov said to look place for your cottage, Finns will grab us from our collar.
Njet Molotov, njet Molotov, you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.

Beyond Ural, beyond Ural, there's a place for Molotov's cottage. There's a place for Stalin's and other liers, political commissars and commissars and the Petrozavodsker.
Njet Molotov, njet Molotov, you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.

A. Aimo: Uraliin

To Ural, beyond it runs the russkie.
Why, I believed in England, ask Stalin ripping his hairs.
Why didn't Finland listen to Tiltu (Soviet propaganda radio) and mother, although the whole thing was rubbish and glaring.
To Ural, to Ural, now is Finland herself attacking.

Help the Ivan, the hordes of Finland are mixing the cabbage field. The Yanks are only giving their sympathy, as the Japs are charging as fast they can, Germany with allies blowing up tonnages.

To Ural, quite a job, Russkies are running as fast they can.

These songs had very childish words.

[Zero The Hero]

Whereas the WWII era propaganda was usually mature and sophisticated?

[Hecatonchiros]

Times were certainly different back then.
