Radio Kabul

Storpi atmosfere terse e sterili bazar Taxisti nomadi cammellieri autisti ascoltan la radio E sanno che tempo fa Al principio era il verbo al principio era Pravda Parola-verità parola-verità Al principio era il verbo al principio era Pravda Parola-verità parola-verità Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Dice che a Nord che a Est la strada è aperta possibile Dall'Adriatico al Mar Giallo Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Al principio era il verbo al principio era Pravda E prima del principio era vanto dei Mongoli Che una vergine sola sopra un carico d'oro Traversasse indenne i domini del Khan Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul © 1987 CCCP In a 1987 interview, the band said of "Radio Kabul": "It's a very painful song since it expresses what worse can happen to a communist in our times: a populace comes to be massacred because it is barbarous, backward, and lends itself to political games foreign to its interests. The fact is that it illustrates wanting to believe to the core. Think, then, that we advocate for Islamism and realize what trauma Radio Kabul harbors." At the time the song was written, Radio Kabul was under control of a Soviet-backed government and used to broadcast pro-Soviet propoganda directly from the USSR.

Hunchbacks clear atmospheres and sterile bazaars cab drivers nomads cameleers drivers listen to the radio and know what the weather is. In the beginning it was the word, in the beginning it was Pravda. Word-truth word-truth In the beginning it was the word, in the beginning it was Pravda. Word-truth word-truth Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul It says to the north, to the east, the road is open, possible from the Adriatic to the Yellow Sea Radio Kabul Radio Kabul Radio Kabul In the beginning was the word, in the beginning was Pravda. And before the beginning it was the glory of the Mongols that a solo virgin on top of a shipment of gold traveled unscathed the dominions of the Khan.
