About Rasputin
"Rasputin" is a 1978 Euro-disco hit single by the Germany-based pop and euro disco group Boney M., the second from their album Nightflight to Venus. The song is a semi-biographical song about Grigori Rasputin, a friend and advisor of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family during the early 20th century. The song variously sensationalizes Rasputin as a playboy, mystical healer, and political demiurge. The tune of the song is based on Turkish song Kâtibim. .
Rasputin Lyrics
[00:55.74] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[00:59.60] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:03.17] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:06.82] But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
[01:11.48] He could preach the Bible like a preacher
[01:14.53] Full of ecstasy and fire
[01:17.58] But he also was the kind of teacher
[01:22.21] Women would desire
[01:26.64] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[01:28.33] Lover of the Russian queen
[01:30.01] There was a cat that really was gone
[01:33.76] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[01:35.97] Russia's greatest love machine
[01:37.75] It was a shame how he carried on
[01:50.71] But when his drinking and lusting
[02:03.28] And his hunger for power became known to more and more people
[02:05.83] The demands to do something about this outrageous man
[02:08.10] Became louder and louder
[02:09.13] "This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
[02:09.93] But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
[02:10.68] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[02:11.09] Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
[02:11.40] Then one night, some men of higher standing
[02:11.72] Set a trap, they're not to blame
[02:12.13] "Come to visit us", they kept demanding
[02:12.43] And he really came
[02:12.81] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[02:13.20] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:13.56] They put some poison into his wine
[02:14.26] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[02:14.64] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:15.12] He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
[02:15.47] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[02:15.72] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:16.13] They didn't quit, they wanted his head
[02:16.55] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[02:16.84] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:17.22] And so they shot him 'til he was dead
[02:17.55] Oh, those Russians
[02:18.19]
[00:59.60] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:03.17] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:06.82] But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
[01:11.48] He could preach the Bible like a preacher
