Song of Oprichniks.

[fyodoroprichnikbasma]

Words cannot describe the excitement I feel while listening to this song. It's really great and I admire Alexei Petrenko btw.

oh, it would be even easier to pronounce "жги" this way:

"zh"="ж" like "g" in "genre"

"gi"="ги" like "gi" in "gift"

@EspressoFan4Life

yes, it's "burn it, burn it, burn it", "жги, жги, жги" in russian (imperative mood), pronounced "zhgi":

"zh"="ж" like "g" in "genre"

"g"="г" like "g" in "go"

"i"="и" like "e" in "me"

Lyrics:

Verse #1: "To the Boyars came dreaded guests. Axes danced on the Boyar's heads." (Refrain): "Hippity-hoppity, hippity-hoppity. Let the axes drop!"

Verse #2: "And the gates fell to the ground. Golden goblets went all around."

Refrain: See above.

[archanticipator]

"Hippity-hoppity, hippity-hoppity" is wrong.

"Goida, goida!

Govori, govori, govori, prigovarivay!" =

"Goida, goida" is old terms.

It is translated as "To the action!"

"Govori, govori, govori, prigovarivay!" =

Speak, speak, speak, to sentence!

(to death or samething else)

My apologies. I was going off the subtitles from the original movie.
