J.M.K.E. - Tere perestroika

Lyrics in english:

Welcome Perestroika

The sky is clear, the sea is blue.
Now everybody can breathe free air.
The hammer and the sickle are not
hurting anybody anymore.
They are talking about hard work. (not sure)
Welcome Perestroika, democracy
One country is escaping dictatorship.
Welcome Perestroika. Welcome nirvana.
The red flag is not so scary anymore.

A tractor is plowing a field, the land is bearing fruit
"Rahva Hääl" (Estonian newspaper) is not lying anymore.
Its mouth is not smoking with lies. (literally)
Prohibited movies are now showing at the movie theatres.
Prohibited bands are now allowed to perform.

Welcome Perestroika, democracy
It is great to escape dictatorship.

Welcome Perestroika, welcome freedom.
Everybody is singing patriotic songs.
Police (miilits-older days) uniforms are not sickening anymore.
Police force is worth praise.

Police and punk rocker are friendly now,
greeting each other with a handshake.

Welcome Perestroika, taaderiidaraa
Our country belongs to you and me now.

There is going to be a big anniversary every year.
People are partying: juhhei auu

There is not going to be an empty well in Virumaa.
There is going to be plane landing in front of a mausoleum.
There is no denying: democracy is big.
When adoring democracy, people's mouths remain open.

Welcome Perestroika into my homeland.
I'm welcoming you as long as I can.

Welcome Perestroika, democracy
Welcome Peresroika, give me five.

Welcome Perestroika, taaderiidaraa.
Welcome Perestroika, taaderiidaraa

Welcome Perestroika, welcome Perestroika.
Welcome Perestroika, give me five.

The band JMKE is an Estonian band. They sing in Estionian. This is taken from a Finnish TV programme Ajankohtainen Kakkonen, which was aired over 20 years ago, that's why it has Finnish subtitles.

@Julleeee1000 Rispektii myös Suomen Yleisradion ajankohkaisohjelmalle, joka tällä esityksellään teki vastalauseen (?) hallituksen ja ennen kaikkea presidentti Mauno Koivistoa vastaan, kun tukea ei tullut virolaisille. Suomen ehkä arvostetuin ohjelma, A-studio, ja - nyt en muista nimea - haastattelija istuu studiossa koko esityksen ajan, joka näkyy. Yle + Suomen valtio - .

CHEERS FROM CHILE!!!! I GROW UP WITH J.M.K.E. !!!!THE SAME HERE DICTATOR SHIT!!!!TEREPERESTROIKAAAAAA!!­!!!!!!!!!!BEERS UPPP!!!!

[ReinOwader]

When I first time heard it from radio I thought it is finnish band - probably because of their slang and somewhat different intonation. But then I saw it on tv and discovered it is estonian band. My first thought was - "When they are put to jail?" But nevertheless I was so proud that our guys can manage to make so good and revolutionary music. Strange that after that song, Punk came out very quickly. Few months later there was thousands of Punkers.

hmm bensiin

[TrotterPotter]

laulaja villu tammi lähetettii 1986 kgb:n toimesta mielisairaalaan koska kaverin soittama musiikki oli mukamas "sairasta", iso nimi protestipunkin syntyhistoriassa! ISO KÄSI MIEHELLE

[Aloneil23]

@chimpolino36 these are not russians. they are estonians. big difference!

[rbmk1000]

Taitaa tosiaan olla playbackia, mutta väliäkö hällä esiintymisessä sinänsä on kuitenkin munaa, kuten myös siinä että tää yleensä näytettiin Suomen telkkarissa 80-luvulla

[karuke01]

@TZukiMrAxlson Not A-studio - Ajankohtainen kakkonen.

[karuke01]

@TZukiMrAxlson Yes, it was Ajankohtainen Kakkonen. We watched it, I remember clearly.
