Ostavka - Luminous-Style!


We promised you more chants of this nature - and here they are! 
As we continue to appeal for... heck, to clamor for... 
no, make that to demand that those buffoons in power 
abdicate pronto - and once and for all... 
We decided to take to the streets once more 
and so we stopped by the moribund grounds of Old Montreal 
in order to make it clear - once and for all! 

Since it is Montréal, we've got to make it clear in Frenski too...
So here goes... 

Nous semonçons le gouvernement Bulgare actuel 
d'abdiquer le pouvoir acquis de manière frauduleuse 
et à l'encontre de la volonté réelle du peuple - 
nous encourageons celui-ci à ne pas lâcher prise 
et à vous talonner jusqu'au bout, 
pourritures communistes et autres crapules assorties, 
qui ne pensez qu'à vous enrichir aux dépens 
d'un peuple trop bon pour hésiter encore 
à vous faire déguerpir de force...!

For those of you wondering what the hell is being said 
in the above video: it's, quite literally, 
''Yo, Bulgaria!  Az Stoya Zad Protestite! 
Ostavka! Ostavka! Ostavka!''
In other words: 
''Hey, Bulgaria - it is me who is behind 
all of those protests - yeah! 
Resignation! Resignation! Resignation!'' 

That certain corrupt political clod 
who thought he had it all figured out 
certainly never saw THIS ONE coming...!

Many thanks to the 18-second director, George, 
and his loud and crystal-clear ''cut'' in there... 
And to our Macedonian friend to all, 
Volodja Stoyanov 
whose song enhances the slideshow part 
of this short luminous presentation 
(his masterful ''Makedonsko Devoiche'' 
is sampled here - and it delivers the right tone 
for this mini-epic luminous production! 
Buy Volodja Stoyanov CDs 
wherever good Macedonian music is sold!) 

And to end on a colourful note, 
let us quote another songman,  Billy Joel
we didn't start the fire - 
it was always burning 
since the world was turning... 

Sure... 
But we can always add fuel to it! 
;-)
