This song, whose title translates back to 'Ride of death' in English, is about a family traveling to Omsk (West-Siberia) while being chased by a pack of wolves. To keep the wolves at bay, they sacrifice their childeren, and eventually themselves. While the song has a clear Russian influence and sound, it is packed with titles from traditional Dutch child songs: Oh, wat zijn wij heden blij (Oh, what are we happy today) Ajoen Ajoen (in de hoge klapperboom) (Ajoen, Ajoen in the tall coconut tree)
