Russian women praise men in songs.

Post by onethousandknives »

I sent Winston a message about this before joining this forum, but I'd like to post it again.


Russian singer Natalie. Song is called "Oh My God, What a Man."
Lyrics are in the description, but here's a rough Google translation of them.
You broke into my life unexpectedly,
Changed my reality.
Thoughts flicker, flash on the heart,
And love without respite.

It all started as an innocent flirtation,
And now empty without you my world.
You're magical, you're from another planet
You're out of my dreams!

Chorus:
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!

Not enough for everyone in the world of gentle words,
To describe my love.
And at night, do not cry over little things.
You, as the time you treat my sadness.

I know, my love is mutual.
A woman is beautiful when loved.
You're magical, you're from another planet
You're in my dreams!.

Chorus:
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!

You and Johnny Depp, and Brad Pitt in one.
As best you recorded on your phone.
And you're magical, you're from another planet.
I have all the questions you have found the answers.

Oh, God, what a man!
Oh, God, what a man!

Chorus:
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!
Oh, God, what a man, I want you son.
And I want to have your daughter, period, period!
To me it's almost odd listening to this as an American because I'm so used to songs.... contrary to this. What, she actually likes and is happy with her man? What, she wants to get married to him and have kids? What?

Meanwhile, in America, feminists got mad at Taylor Swift for making songs about how much she liked her boyfriend and not "Independent Woman" like Beyonce.

Next, Setoodeh asks: "Do you consider yourself a feminist?"

Taylor Swift replies:

I don't really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.
OH NO! SHE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT THINGS AS MEN VS WOMEN!
Swift's lyrical message to teenage girls is clear: BOYS. That's it. Just boys. Crying over boys and feeling broken and/or completed by boys.
Uhm...

I mean, Taylor Swift isn't great, but some of her songs (not her recent ones, as those seem about basically hating guys) are actually nice songs. They were refreshing, and I couldn't figure out why, then I realized "wait a minute, she doesn't hate her boyfriend and wanna key his car."

Even Russian songs where the woman wants to leave a man or whatever aren't really dramatic songs about hating the boyfriend and wanting to key his car and smash his windows out, but just "sorry, hope things work out." I mean, I'm not TOTALLY sure of Russian pop, as I only have, I dunno, 2 gigabytes or so of Russian pop total on my computer and have only been listening to it for the past... 18 months, but I've never translated a Russian song and had it come out as a song about hating their boyfriend and wanting to smash his windows out/etc.


Anyway, I'm just surprised. Russian women actually like men, eh? I notice too the songs a lot of them tend to be about actually LIKING or loving eachother, rather than the common American theme going in songs of "Hey, I know you're horny, and I am too, lol let's have sex."

Ha, you never hear songs from American/Anglo female musicians praising men; instead, it's all male bashing and male shaming in song after song. Or, they talk about men only in degrading, sexual terms, a la Liz Phair:

A bartender told me this while I was in Guadalajara Mexico:

"If you aren't careful here with the women, you will be married in a week."

Nope, not Ukranian. Born in USA to non-immigrant parents. I just like Russian pop music because Russian people at my rink played it sometimes and I thought it sounded cool. It's my second favorite foreign music after Japanese.
