I'll do my best to translate it for you guys, but my Japanese kinda sucks, so it'll only be a rough translation. However, you should at least be able to understand the song's context. I'll provide each verse in romanji accompanied by the English translation. Stupid 500-character posting limit's gonna suck though.

[Jimaera]

For starters, this is the Baobab Singers' version of Dschinghis Khan's "Moskau." You can look up the song's history yourselves, but basically it was originally written to be played at the Moscow Olympics about 30 years ago, which is probably why the melody was chosen for this parody.

[AsmoGoth]

This video is genius. :D Can anybody please tell me artist and name of the song? Please. :(

[josatinho]

great song

[arthurson]

very interesting

[Kanotynes]

Har har, I like how it shows a picture Muska during the chorus where it sings "Moskau" XD

Boo, I can only reconize three of the anime-type thingers in this video: Castle in the Sky, Astroboy, and Doraemon. I need to watch more retro animes, I guess. :V

[fabiopl]

Judging by the lyrics, I'd say it was a single recorded by seiyuus to encourage the Japanese people and athletes for the 1982 Moscow Olympics.

[fabiopl]

actually, the japanese version is by the Baobabu Singers. It's called "Mezase Moscow".

[fabiopl]

also, a list of the series featured in the video would be nice. I've only recognized a few of them.

[fabiopl]

I'd like to know the context of the japanese version of the song.

[Foxhack]

Oh lord, I recognized way too many of those.

[jmetalmilitiac]

why would they be singin japanese?

[thejibberybang]

Some of thta is scary.

[shagenrose]

Yeah, pretty sure it is Dschinghis Khan - Moskau. :P

[neongreentea]

it dosent sound like them though and its different lyrics ...

[neongreentea]

Whats hte music in the background.. its not dschingis khan is it?

[neongreentea]

[fabiopl]

the song is Moskau, but it's not Dschinghis Khan performing.
