Pussy Riot in court

we are all pussy riot;





As three of their number are sentenced to two years apiece (or should I say another two years, given they have already spent a good five months in jail?) in a Russian labour camp for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred”, feminist collective Pussy Riot have released a new song – “Putin Lights Up The Fires”.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling pretty motivated by religious hatred myself right now.

Translated lyrics below, via Everett True at Collapsed Board. Amnesty is collecting messages of support, which it says will be forwarded to the imprisoned band members.

State more time in prison
The more arrests – more happiness
And every arrest – with a love of sexist
After swinging his cheeks, as the chest and abdomen

But we can not be resealed in the box
Security officers overthrew the better and more

Putin ignites the fires of revolution
He was bored and frightened people in the silence
Whatever punishment he had – that rotten ash,
With no time in many years – the subject for wet dreams

Chorus:
The country is, the country goes to the streets with audacity
The country is, the country is going to say goodbye to the regime,
The country is, the country is a wedge of feminist
And Putin is Putin goes, leave cattle

Arrested on May 6 the whole city
7 years we have little, give me 18
The ban yelling, slander, and walk,
Take his wife’s dad Lukashenko

Chorus 2 times.
