We had to write about this 'work of art', because since the end of May 2012 this Youtube video received more than 7 million views. The two singers were invited to Moscow to a popular TV show.
We also would like to put a little note here: a Russian transliteration of the song is Ty kto takoi? Davai, do svidania.
For those of you who don't speak Russian language - these people are singing with a big accent in Russian. But I guess it makes it even more fun. This gathering of mostly men resembles to a wedding or some big event. They start by singing 'Who are you? OK, good bye!' And then they mix Russian, Azerbaijan and Talysh languages.
We asked for a professional Russian translation of one youtube description for this song:
So, it is a wedding in a settlement called Tangerud of Astary district of Talysh region located on the South Eastern part of Azerbaijan. There are two groups of people competing in a verse form (like rap battle). People are making jokes about nothing. They also call this Meykhana - (information from wikipedia) - Meykhana (Azerbaijani: meyxana) is a distinctive Azerbaijani literary and folk rap tradition, consisting of an unaccompanied song performed by one or more people improvising on a particular subject.
And now you can enjoy this video below.

One thing about the phrase is that it is supposed to be very rude and often serves as an opening line for a fight or an invitation to start a fight. A more accurate translation into English might be: "Who the f* are you? Get out of here!" Well, things are rough in Russia.
