Crimea Blues

Ah, One, two, three, Faah…

Flew in from Miami Beach,

BOAC/Didn’t get to bed last night/On the way the paper bag was on my knee/Man, I had a dreadful flight
I’m back in the USSR/You don’t know how lucky you are, boy/Back in the USSR

Been away so long I hardly knew the place/Gee, it’s good to be back home/Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case/Honey, disconnect the phone

I’m back in the USSR/You don’t know how lucky you are, boy/Back in the US, back in the US/Back in the USSR

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out/They leave the West behind/And Moscow girls make me sing and shout/That Georgia’s always on m-m-my mind
Oh, come on

I’m back in the USSR/You don’t know how lucky you are, boys/Back in the USSR

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out/They leave the West behind/And Moscow girls make me sing and shout/That Georgia’s always on m-m-my mind
Oh, show me round the snow-peaked mountains way down south/Take me to your daddy’s farm/Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out/Come and keep your comrade warm

I’m back in the USSR/Hey, you don’t know how lucky you are, boys/Back in the USSR/Oh, let me tell you honey

Ang “Back in the USSR” gihimo ni Paul McCartney (hinuon gi-share niya ang credit kang John Lennon sa ingon nga duna say mga kanta si Lennon nga gitagaan usab niyag credit si McCartnet) niadtong 1968, ug mao kini una nga kanta sa ilang “White Album” (usa ka album sa experimental numbers nga walay title apan puti ang cover).

Mibalik kining maong awit sa Beatles dihang nabasahan ko ang resulta sa referendum sa Crimea diin midaug sa dakong mayoriya ang boto nga mipagawas sa simpatiya sa mga taga-didto nga buot sila magpasakop og balik sa Russia. Mikuha ang maong simpatiya og 96.7 percent sa mga balota.

Apan ang America ug ang ubang nasud sa kasadpan miingon nga way balor kining maong referendum kay dili kini legal, sukwahi kini sa gikasabutan na niadto sa Ukraine, Russia ug sa international community.

“Gihatag” sa Russia ang Crimea sa Ukraine pagka 1954. Parte pa sa Union of Societ Socialist Republics (USSR) ang Ukraine niadto. Pagka dekada ’90, nahanaw na ang gitawag nga USSR ug ang Ukraine dili na sakop sa Russia ug nahimo na nga probinsya sa Ukraine ang Crimea.

Daw ang mayoriya sa mga taga-Crimea wala gyud mahimutang sa pagdala kanila sa Ukraine mao nga dunay uban kanila nga nangayog independence gikan sa maong nasud. Apan ang simpatiya sa kinabag-an buot nga magpasakop sila sa Russia. Una, tungod kay Russian silag kaliwat ug Russian usab ang ilang sinultihan ug ikaduha, gihambugan sila sa gobyerno ni Putin nga mas dako ilang sweldo kun ubos sila sa pamunoan sa Russia,
Sama sa Pilipinas, usa sa major s     ource of income sa Crimea mao ang tourism.
