Mēs sūdzēsimies Strasbūrā

Song Meaning

This track paints a picture of cows, specifically "blue, milk-giving cows," who feel systematically oppressed and wronged. The lyrics describe them being "beaten at all the big parties" and having their "cow rights violated." There's a sense of injustice, with the narrator stating, "Everything is already decided." The immediate emotional tone is one of indignant protest against unfair treatment. The central tension arises from the perceived discrimination against these "blue cows." They assert their identity as the "real, only ones" but face a "risk to live in the pastures." The threat is concrete: "the shepherd hits legs electrically." This suggests a power imbalance where the ruling entity inflicts pain and restricts freedom. The most striking element is the defiant threat to appeal to a higher authority: "We will sue in Strasbourg." This elevates the cows' plight from a farmyard squabble to a matter of international human rights, using the European Court of Human Rights as a symbol of ultimate recourse. The lyrics also touch upon broader themes of identity and sexual freedom, questioning if "blue cows must be forgotten" and if "sex must be forgotten," especially when "blue bulls frolic and copulate among themselves." What makes these lyrics hit hard is the absurd yet potent metaphor. By framing the cows' grievances through the lens of legal action and human rights, the song amplifies the feeling of being unheard and marginalized. The repeated declaration, "If our matters are not fully transparent, we will sue in Strasbourg," underscores a desperate but determined stand against an oppressive system, making the listener question the nature of power and rights, even in the most unexpected contexts.
