Galina may also refer to:
Galina, a hard working boatman
But her husband, he was just too poor
Galina, got fed up with the hard life
So she nailed him to the bedroom floor
Down and out she sailed into the mist
Showing hairy breasts, and a giant fist
Watch out you lousy men,
cause now she's really pissed
Galina, she is a crazy boatman
Her daughters, they are crazy too
Together, they sail across the ocean
They are searching for love and new tattoos
Up and down the coast they are raping men
Plundering the villages, and raping again
Spitting on the women, and stealing all they can
Galina the pirate of the Baltic sea
Scaring the sailors away
Galina the mistress of misery
Turning the blue skies to grey
Galina, she is a crazy boatman
An her daughters, they are crazy too
Lang ago she sailed into the mist
Showing hairy breasts and her giant fist
Watch out you lousy men,
cause she's still very pissed
Galina the pirate of the Baltic sea
Scaring the sailors away
