This music video by Akim Apachev, a Mariupol-born rapper from Donbass, was quite difficult to translate due to the highly poetic language. First, it was translated just to preserve the meaning, and then the rhythm and rhymes were adjusted as much as possible. The English translation is NOT verbatim, because such a translation would make no sense. Some explanations. The battle call “Goida!” is attributed to oprIchniks. OprIchnina was the internal military of Ivan the Formidable (or the Terrible), created to fight against traitors of Russia. The symbols of the oprichnina were, according to historians, a hound’s head and a broom tied to the saddle: "OprIchniks (or the chosen ones) had to have clear and noticeable insignia, namely, the following: hounds heads on the necks of their horses and brooms on their whip handles. This implied that they first bit (the Czar’s enemies) like hounds and then swept all the garbage (treason) out of the country."
