This kind of "traditional rapping" is quite common throughout Africa and the Middle East, for example it is known as Enka Slamta in Ethiopia and Tsiattista in Cyprus...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.237.134.232 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 3 September 2004

Unprintable examples

Original author provided a number of examples, but most typical chastushka subjects are sexual relations and state of the art usage of obscene language. Here are additional examples that cover the topics:

Sexual relations:

Ты вчера была моя

А сегодня мишкина

Хуй у мишки как сосна

На картине Шишкина

You were mine the other day

Mike is screwing you today

Mike has dick as thick as trees

On the Shishkin masterpiece

Obscene language

На горе четыре хуя

Танцевали краковяк

Один хуй другого хуя

Хуем по хую хюяк!

Have you seen four dicks together

Dancing on the mountain peak

And one dick had fucked another

But with yet another dick

But a note to editors concerning the "unprintability": WP:NOTCENSORED. GregorB 21:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

"Раньше хрен вставал в постели" - but isn't that "in the bed" rather than "in the shower"? GregorB 21:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I get it: for rhyming purposes "in the shower" works better... GregorB 21:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In case anyone cares, I added some new English translations to the article, in an attempt to capture the rhyme and rhythm of the Russian частушки a little bit better. (Я американец, носитель английского языка, и владею русским неплохо.) Throbert McGee (talk) 22:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lord, what a moral monster To prune the article? I wish him to become a proud owner of a large penis, who grew up on his forehead.
