Informal summary and translation:

Slogan - "We meet Thein Sein with shwe pan" -- shwe pan="gold flower"=male genitals.

Interview - "There are no human rights in Burma, there is no constitution. That's why we are demonstrating."

Man with the guitar - famous singer Mun Awng - "This is the same general who imprisoned democracy activists, now spouting 'democracy' and going around visiting."

Congrats Norway-based activists - you speak the Truth.
