Njet, Molotoff

Njet, Molotoff (pronounced [ˈnje̞t̪ ˈmo̞lo̞t̪o̞fː]; ru. «Нет, Молотов»), sometimes spelled Niet, Molotoff or Nyet, Molotoff, is a Finnish propaganda song. It was composed by Matti Jurva and written by Tatu Pekkarinen. Jurva recorded the song in 1942 as a backdrop to the Crystal Dance Orchestra, led by George de Godzinsky. Robert von Essen agreed on the composition of the album. The name of the song refers to Vojvoslez Molotov, a Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union. His solo version ("Njet Molotoff") was recorded by Solistiyhtye Suomi in 1989. Jurva's performance is included on the compilation plate Molotohvin cocktail - War period propaganda on albums 1940–1942.[1][2][3]

The word "Njet" comes from Russian нет, meaning "no," although the Finnish word for "no" is ei. The word "Iivana" is also used in the lyrics as a derogatory word referring to the Russians.

The Finnish RAC band Mistreat has made a cover version of "Njet Molotoff".

Original (Latin script) Cyrillization IPA transcription

Finlandia, Finlandia,
sinne taas matkalla oli Iivana.
Kun Molotoffi lupas´ juu kaikki harosii,
huomenna jo Helsingissä syödään marosii.
Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff,
valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikoff.

Finlandia, Finlandia,
Mannerheimin linja oli vastus ankara.
Kun Karjalasta alkoi hirmu tulitus,
loppui monen Iivanan puhepulitus.
Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff,
valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikoff.

Finlandia, Finlandia,
sitä pelkää voittamaton Puna-Armeija.
Ja Molotoffi sanoi että katsos torppas niin,
Tsuhna aikoo käydä meitä kraivelista kii.
Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff,
valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikoff.

Uralin taa, Uralin taa,
siellä onpi Molotoffin torpan maa.
Sinne pääsee Stalinit ja muutkin huijarit,
politrukit, komissaarit ja petroskoijarit.
Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff,
valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikoff.[4]

Фінландіа, Фінландіа,
сінне таас маткалла олі Іівана.
Кун Молотоффі лупась юу каіккі харосіі,
хуоменна ё Хелсінгіссӓ сӱӧдӓӓн маросіі.
Нєт Молотофф, нєт Молотофф,

Фінландіа, Фінландіа,
Маннерхеімін ліня олі вастус анкара.
Кун Каряляста алкоі хірму тулітус,
лоппуі монен Ііванан пухепулістус.
Нєт Молотофф, нєт Молотофф,

Фінландіа, Фінландіа,

Цухна аікко кӓӱдӓ меіттӓ краівеліста кіі.
Нєт Молотофф, нєт Молотофф,

Уралін таа, Уралін таа,

Сінне пӓӓсее Сталініт я мууткін хуіяріт,

Нєт Молотофф, нєт Молотофф,

English translation

Finlandia, Finlandia,
that’s where the Ivans were heading again.
When Molotov promised: "Yes, everything will go fine,
tomorrow we'll already be eating ice-cream in Helsinki.”
No Molotov, no Molotov
you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.
 
Finlandia, Finlandia,
The Mannerheim line was a harsh obstacle.
When artillery began firing from Karelia,
many Ivans stopped their babbling
No Molotov, no Molotov
you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.
 
Finlandia, Finlandia,
the invincible Red Army is afraid of it.
And Molotov said: "Well look at that,
the Chukhnas¹ are coming at our throats!"
No Molotov, no Molotov
you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.
 
Behind the Urals, behind the Urals,
is the cottage of Molotov.
People like Stalin and other cheaters are let to visit it,
including politruks, commissars and crooks from Petrozavodsk.
No Molotov, no Molotov
you told more lies than Bobrikov himself.
