| Marx eller jultomten? |
Jag har redan postat den här en gång, det är min översättning/rekonstruktion av en dikt som skrevs av mina klasskompisar på gymnasiet för många år sedan. Med anledning av kulturkriget mot det traditionella julfirandet, varför inte gå hela vägen?
Down with Santa Claus
May Santa become unemployed
Santa, the sick capitalist
Who bribes us with his commercialist gifts
Abolish Santa Claus
In favour of the Christmas Dog
The dog that can bark "Happy Holiday"
The Christmas Dog is a true friend
Of the children
And of all progressive mankind
He was present when Aurora fired
At the Winter Palace
With his barks, he led the cavalry charges
Of Budyonny
He was present when Little Father
Exterminated the kulaks as a class
And gave gifts to the children
Santa was a kulak
Down with Santa Claus
May Santa become unemployed
The sick capitalist NEPman,
Who bribes us with his commercialist gifts!

The sick capitalist NEPman,
Who bribes us with his commercialist gifts!
