Καρδιά πρωταθλητή

Πάλεψε , πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Τώρα σήκω από το έδαφος
Βαθιά μέσα ξέρω ότι έχεις
Καρδιά πρωταθλητή
 
Κρατήσου πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Άκου στον ήχο της φωνής μου
Ξέρω ότι έχεις την καρδιά αθλητή!
 
Τώρα! Αν αισθάνεσαι χάλια, αισθάνεσαι σαν να πνίγεσαι , αισθάνεσαι σαν να είσαι χαμένος και ολομόναχος
Υπάρχει κάτι που ξέρω , θα το αλλάξεις τελείως (εδώ ακριβώς , τώρα)
Και αν αφήσεις το φως μέσα σου μπορεί να βρεις το γράψιμο
Και ακόμα χειρότερες στιγμές
Υπάρχει κάτι που ξέρω , θα το αλλάξεις τελείως (εδώ ακριβώς , τώρα)
Θα ακούσεις τον ήχο !
 
Πάλεψε , πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Τώρα σήκω από το έδαφος
Βαθιά μέσα ξέρω ότι έχεις
Καρδιά πρωταθλητή
 
Κρατήσου πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Άκου στον ήχο της φωνής μου
Ξέρω ότι έχεις την καρδιά αθλητή!
 
Τώρα ! Όταν αισθάνεσαι το βάρος του κόσμου να συντρίβεται πάνω σου, δεν μπορείς να βρεις θέληση
Υπάρχει κάτι που ξέρω, θα το αλλάξεις τελείως (εδώ ακριβώς , τώρα)
Και αν βρεις ένα λόγο ,μπορείς να σταματήσεις να πιστεύεις ακόμα και τις πιο δύσκολες στιγμές
Υπάρχει κάτι που ξέρω, θα το αλλάξεις τελείως (εδώ ακριβώς , τώρα)
Θα ακούσεις τον ήχο !
 
Πάλεψε , πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Τώρα σήκω από το έδαφος
Βαθιά μέσα ξέρω ότι έχεις
Καρδιά πρωταθλητή
 
Κρατήσου πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Άκου στον ήχο της φωνής μου
Ξέρω ότι έχεις την καρδιά αθλητή!
 
Κρατήσου πρέπει να μείνεις δυνατός
Άκου στον ήχο της φωνής μου
Ξέρω ότι έχεις την καρδιά αθλητή!

For Example, I Like the South

For example, I like the road
with burnt green—perhaps later
with darker spots without dew—
with prickly pears and the thorns of thistles.
 
For example, I like to see
the woman in black, mourning forever
on her doorstep every evening
while awaiting her husband to return from the fields.
 
But whom am I missing, do you know?
We were the same age—
all of my dreams for you—
all of my love and my freedom.
 
For example, I like to steal
ripe pears from branches if I'm hungry—
but when I drink, I pay right away
for water, of which there is more than bread on this earth.
 
Walk with that farmer
who perhaps takes the same route as me
to talk about grapes, to talk about wine,
which is still a luxury for him who does.
 
But whom am I missing, do you know?
We were the same age—
all of my dreams for you—
all of my love and my freedom.
 
For example, I like just for fun
to kick a clod of earth—
to pass it to the children around the fire—
they sing, play, and make war.
 
Then I like to discover far away
the sea when the sky fades to dusk—
to follow the lights of lamps
and having reached the beach, I like to sleep.
 
But whom am I missing, do you know?
We were the same age—
all of my dreams for you—
all of my love and my freedom.
 
But whom am I missing, do you know?
We were the same age—
all of my dreams for you—

Roope the robber

If you fill my glass I'll tale you
A sad tale with no equal
It's a song about a pirate named Roope
He broke hearts wherever he went
 
He was young and fair
And he'd been taught by his father
But the girl he loved betrayed him
And so Roope became a cruel robber
 
The shores of the Baltic Sea still remember Roope
And the women of St. Petersburg still shake their heads
And the cities of the Finnish Gulf knew Roope the robber
And all the way in Kokkola they feared him
 
The maiden from Estonia's shore will never forger
How she went to a bar with Roope
They ate and had a drink
She burned her heart but Roope only smoked a cigar
 
The maiden of Åland did not know her state
When Roope brought his shirt for washing
One button was missing, she sewed it back on
And at the same time she also sewed her heart on
 
Finally Roope got his just deserts, he's in Finland now
And probably works as a ferryman on some river
He submitted before a widow and ended up married
And that's how Roope the Robber was slowly hanged

I've wanted you

I've wanted you and your hoarse scream in the middle of the night when you wake up
I've wanted that mountain-breaking courage of yours
I've wanted your whole history, the pieces that you collect
To be the rock on the shore against your waves
 
I've wanted to examine the riverbeds and valleys of your curves carefully
I've wanted your books on the bedside table
I've wanted to learn your treasures so I'd have a job as your man
I've wanted the slowly waning youth of yours
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
I've wanted all your roles, wanted to nurse your bruises
and that lovely sneaking longing of yours on a summer night
I've wanted you when you get tired and wanted you when you're at your best
To always be the seal against your heart
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that

Come a little closer

I wanted something to tell you
I wanted to talk to you
Maybe I won't see you again
That's why I will sing it to you
At some universe one time
I found out that you loved me
You were whispering it to me
It felt like you meant it
However, at this (universe) I'm watercolour
Inside your dreams
I'm painting your heart
And you are washing me away
I have a collection
almost naked
that the silence took over them
I, almost, didn't leave.
But you left
But you left
But you left
When I was water
Every breath (was) storm
and at some bottom
my craziest desire
and when I found out in the past
every beast to tame
I had difficulty with the fire
therefore now I look like it(fire)
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
And I will live normally
You will be my secret idea
But at one universe one time
we hanged out
I wanted something to tell you
Although I say we don't speak
Maybe (I wanted to tell you) that I thank you
that you reminded me that I break
I though I didn't break.

Worst-Case Scenario

So you find yourself, lost on the high seas
No water, no food and no idea where you are
No diesel in the engine, no flare gun
No chance to be seen, to be saved by anyone
In such a situation, it's easy to lose reason
Begin to expect some explanation from God
The fact is that there is nothing else to do
You can hardly believe it
 
When you see the storm forming on the horizon
The black cloud coming toward you
Turn the knob, but the radio doesn't respond
Water level rising
Worst-case scenario
Hull in the bow is cracked
The boat is already heeled
Would you have any suggestions?
No!
 
Two days ago, when you left the dock
You left the land where you would never tread
Now what will you do, you can't think
With the wind blowing, you start to freeze
Neither fishing boat nor coast guard
As much as you want, not even a plane cross the sky
Flooded basement, no alternative
Total drifting
 
Seeing the storm forming on the horizon
The black cloud coming toward you
Turn the knob, but the radio doesn't respond
Water level rising
Worst-case scenario
The sea becoming rough
You get dragged
Until then disappear in the darkness

Higher than God

I spent my 'wants', my 'neverminds' I lived a life not suited for me
But you exist and that looks like a miracle for me, keep my hand, don't mind
 
I'm not leaving you
You're what I wanted for so long and I'm not leaving you
I'll keep you on my like a charm
I'm not leaving you
You're what I wanted for so long and I'm not leaving you
I'll always have you like my God
 
Higher than God
I'm placing you, my love
And I'm making all your favors
Higher than God
You are in my dreams
And whatever I have I'm giving to you, I'm telling you I'm not leaving you
 
The idea that you're leaving scares me, the day doesn't shine when we're apart
But you exist and that looks like a miracle for me, keep my hand, don't mind

Awake inside someone else's dreams

I'm listening to the same twenty songs day and night
It's the same disease a life on air
The air that some other guys got polluted
They crumbled a nation, a continuous grief
Fuck, there are times I'm feeling a foreigner on my own place
I feel I'm easy prey for beasts that enclosed us in this city so they can easily control us
There are other times that I'm getting dizzy due to the culture they enforced on me
It's also this component that steadily takes me apart from my own language
Dropping me deeper in hell
New World Order's pollution can't be hidden
And I keep thinking that perhaps all this years I was awake inside someone else's dreams
 
On an uneven world my view is always locked
An asymmetry that's rising and inside me
From my birth, my soul, my body and spirit are watered continuously with poison
And it's granted some push me down
They want dead all of my brain cells
They keep me sleeping by an infertile education
They just teach me the basics so I can do the work for them
Someone's pulling me from what matters and pushes me on the vortex of fake stuff
My soul's eye is slowly closing
Someone doesn't let me escape this environment
So I remain awake inside someone else's dreams
 
Everything around me is tearing apart
I fight to stay on my feet
Dropping Greek light from my torch
This dangerous light for the darkness
I wanna erase from my body every sign of their touches
I wanna break free of their ties
I'm not preaching but I won't either become a base anymore to their distorted building
I don't sing happy songs
I wanna see it torn down in pieces
None of us should be
Awake inside someone else's dreams

Boy Scouts

Young boy scouts're never wrong -
Their heads're cast iron strong,
They themselves are made of tin,
God-damned devils dwell within!

Ok, I get it that most of you just can't bring yourselves
to pressing 'Thanks' when you have already enjoyed
and probably sung an equirhythmic rhymed translation
and then realized that you couldn't have done a better
one yourself. Yet, avoiding this gesture implicitly helps
to promote other, often subpar work on this site. St.

And It's Raining Stars

You broke my branch
The sky is like a veil,
A satin veil now burning in my hand
My body is not answering
It's gone past the limit
And is meekly collapsing into your kingdom
And it's raining stars, and
Who follows them, poetry
The wise sky is singing
That life is mine alone
The sunken ships
The lost nets
I've had my share of storms, too
But playing on the pier
You alone of all my playmates
Have blown into my heart
And without any made-up moons,
Without crying or lashings,
Love was what I reaped
I bore the waves,
All sails set,
Tonight I've been drinking, too
My wooden body
Has been consumed by you
Now ashes fly away with your breathing
I've found a nest in you
My fears that I've been hiding
For years, like pearls
Inside a veil
And it's raining stars, and
Who follows them, poetry
The wise sky is singing
That life is mine alone
The sunken ships
The lost nets
I've had my share of storms, too
But playing on the pier
You alone of all my playmates
Have blown into my heart
And without any made-up moons,
Without crying or lashings,
Love was what I reaped

Eternal Narratives

When you look at me so, a little from below the corners1
And you pick your pashmina scarf up from the floor.
I remember the nights of the expanse, when we climbed
Up to the view tower and in there to the heavens.
 
Our one-room flat and a balcony, we fit in there well.
I took you to the city in 41.2
The days swam through the net, they go into the depths.
 
On top of shards we danced here.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.
 
And where is the heaven, how would I picture it.
It is, on top of a motorway, fiery red.
And I doubt I'll get anything along with me there.
Come closer, babe, now we'll dance.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.
Eternal narratives are told now.
 
Before and after us are the others
Of birds are heavy the trees.
Soon the yard will be desolate, please come to me today.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.

  • 1. I assumed that there's a comma like 'noin, vähän'. The meaning of the sentence changes if the comma is left out, but it didn't make as much sense.
  • 2. Extremely unclear. Literally 'You in the morning I took 41 to the city' and the number 41 can mean the time xx:41, a town with the number 41 or the year 1941.

More Beautiful Than Anyone Else

This rainy year
Has been so long, hasn't it
I know that you've been
So lonely with me
 
But our sorrows have been talked away
Even our misunderstandings
Those doubts like
Jackdaws over the city
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
You are an expedition
That lasts for a lifetime
 
You are a secret
A thing that I investigate
Below the calm surface
Always something more
 
Below the calm surface
Always something more
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
You are an expedition
That lasts for a lifetime
 
I know the burden you carry
I know it even though I can't see
When your sky is darkening
Then I will come to you
Even as a tree in an icy park
If you need its protection
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
 
Because to me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
A prayer that at night
Rises through the darkness

Ha a te neved hullana az égből

Soha nem köteleztük el magunkat
Nem szántuk senkinek az igaz dalokat
Talán azért, mert rólunk
Soha senki nem beszél
 
Soha nem mondtuk ki a szavakat
Soha nem mondjuk ki az igaz szavakat
Még véletlenül sem
Még véletlenül, a csöndben sem
 
A város tele szökőkúttal
De a szomjúság soha nem múlik el
Az fogja elterelni a figyelmem,
Az fogja, az fogja, az fogja,
Hogy a Saharát mindig a számban tartom
 
A város tele van boltokkal
De mindig bezárnak
És maradok én
Hogy a maradékot a világnak adjam
 
Ha az utcák közepén
vagy a zavarban
A te neved hullana az égből
Egyszerre csak egy levelet innék
Ezer ember között
Állomás állomás után
És ha nem jó helyen szállok le, az a te hibád
 
Soha nem találkoztunk igazán, és
Soha nem ugrattuk igazán egymást
Még véletlenül sem
Még véletlenül, a csöndben sem
A város találkozik a benned lévő sivataggal
Mintha én mindig is ontottam volna a vizet
Az lesz a küldetésem
Az lesz, az lesz, az lesz,
Hogy virágot tartok a számban
 
Ha az utcák közepén
vagy a zavarban
A te neved hullana az égből
Egyszerre csak egy levelet innék
Ezer ember között
Állomás állomás után
És ha nem jó helyen szállok le, az az én hibám
 
De nélküled ki vagyok?
Egy halom felgyülemlett kiadás
Egy francia könyv, amit igazából én sem,
Én sem értek jól
Ha mennem kell, majd fizetek én
Bocsáss meg, ha hangosan gondolkozom
Bocsáss meg, ha hangosan gondolkozom
 
Ha az utcák közepén
vagy a zavarban
A te neved hullana az égből
Egyszerre csak egy levelet innék
Ezer ember között
Állomás állomás után
És ha nem jó helyen szállok le, a hibás...

Bright Day

It was a bright and clear day
It could be in May
Nature would be birthing new life
And the mourners would wear
Something other than black
It wouldn't need to be that bleak
Friends would come to my mound
And they'd eat and remember me well
 
And the priest could tell a joke
That would describe me somehow
Maybe you'd give a speech
Where you'd tell how I loved you
Someone would sing, and through their tears
The crowd would burst into laughter
When Make would reminisce about our Nuorgam trip
They would all wish to console you
 
And closest friends
Could sit together late
The music of Hemilou Edu Kettunen
Would echo in the clear evening
And life would have to go on
Even if the longing would stay
And eventually you'd meet someone
Who could be almost like me

Moon Song

Versions: #3
You’re sleeping so beautifully, silence plays in the corners [of the sleeping room]
Talking is waste of time, the moon will tell the rest
You’re sleeping, [so] I try to whisper my breath
The bed clothes still smell of the fire of our bodies
 
Someday I’m going to find a home for us, with a big window with a view of the world
You’re going to start trusting me again, I won’t let you be afraid
Someday we’ll turn all the black into a good joke
You’ll trust me again… and now, sleep…
 
I know, I know well that I can hurt like no one else
I’m sorry, I don’t know what to do when you cry
You don’t laugh as you used to, everything’s different
Once more I ask you for the last chance
 
Someday I’m going to find a home for us, with a big window with a view of the world
You’re going to start trusting me again, I won’t let you be afraid
Someday we’ll turn all the black into a good joke
You’ll trust me again… and now, sleep…

Civilization

There's something that is sounding,
surely you already heard it,
the Earth is vibrating,
with a different melody.
 
Neither Gods mad with fury,
nor revengeful demons,
nor alien airships,
nor some lost comet.
 
The story is much clearer,
and it also makes sense,
the Earth is getting rid,
of the worst enemy.
 
Come the four riders,
ahorse they come, I say,
water, earth, fire and air,
are coming from your own navel.
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
things of civilization,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
things of civilization.
 
That everything is mounted,
that millions of layoffs,
the way is tough,
maybe more than ever.
 
Last night I dreamed of Manu,
and this melody he sang,
someone was making a roast,
someone was getting from far.
 
And if a grey river comes,
which separates the world in two,
I'd like to be on the same,
side as you, babe.
 
And if a grey river comes,
which separates the world in two,
I'd like to be on the same,
side as you, babe.
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
things of civilization,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
things of civilization.
 
A new desert,
a new hail,
do you know who did it?,
it's over here.
 
God forgives,
man sometimes,
nature never,
it's over here.
 
Don't forget the mammoth,
'cause the vermouth didn't run out,
don't forget the mammoth,
'cause the vermouth didn't run out,
over there.
 
And if a grey river comes,
which separates the world in two,
I'd like to be on the same,
side as you, babe.
 
And if a grey river comes,

things of civilization.

The one who didn't love

The one who didn't love even once
doesn't know how heavy the last tear can be,
what's the weight of anger.
Love is like war.
We want to start it but not finish.
It's hard to admit in front of yourself.
 
The one who didn't love knows nothing.
The one who didn't love only mocks.
The one who didn't hear these three words
doesn't understand what pain is.
 
The one who didn't lose his head
tells you 'I'll give a good piece of advice'
but there is no good advice about it.
Love is like a drug.
We want to start but not finish.
It isn't easy when not everything is going well.
 
The one who didn't love knows nothing.
The one who didn't love only mocks.
The one who didn't hear these three words
doesn't understand what pain is.
 
In all of us there's a smouldering hope
that we're the first and we'll be like nobody else.
In all of us there still is the illusion
that night is the beginning of day.
 
The one who didn't love knows nothing.
The one who didn't love only mocks.
The one who didn't hear these three words
doesn't understand, oooh
 
The one who didn't love knows nothing.
The one who didn't love only mocks.
The one who didn't hear these three words
doesn't understand what laughter through tears means.

If I loved you a bit less

I love you so much
that I no longer touch ground,
or step on earth
I love you ever so much
as much as the blue colour
of the sky is
 
If I loved you a bit less
I’d only be
just another of the thousand nothings of the world
a good for nothing drop of water
in the desert
If I loved you a bit less
I would be but an unimportant moment
of the 20th century
 
I love you so much
that my every word is no longer said,
but sung
I love you so much
that I feel as if God has chosen me
only for that

Here's Where My Heart Shall Stay

Here's where my heart shall stay
When it is time for me to go
The autumn wind will sing
Like it could know this all
 
Here's where my heart shall stay
At its home forever
Even if myself, I may only stay
Until the very last summer night
 
When I am gone, you will only hear
The whispers of those waves hitting the coast
If you believe more than you think
I salute you in them
 
You will see the spring once again
And hear the birds chant
If you open your mind just for a while
Then you will understand
 
Here's where my heart shall stay
It shall always be close to you
You can reach for it if you so wish
Even if the land were without songs
 
Here's where my heart shall stay
At its home forever
Even if myself, I may only stay
Until the very last summer night
 
You will see the spring once again
And hear the birds chant
If you open your mind just for a while
Then you will understand
 
Here's where my heart shall stay
It shall always be close to you
You can reach for it if you so wish
Even if the land were without songs
 
Here's where my heart shall stay
At its home forever
Even if myself, I may only stay
Until the very last summer night

Snow made an angel to the doorway

A girl saw from a bridge how black
The water was down there somewhere
Her mother asked 'Why is she writing poems?
The child must be out of her mind'
 
The girl cried for a moment and looked behind her
The sigh of the city rang wildly
Who could feel this as their own country
The water was as dark as the times
 
And the water was black
Mother walked in all blacks
And even the priest got coffee to drink
And father was drunk, how else?
Someone brought flowers to the doorway
 
Others go to the moon and others to Sweden
Others just have a smaller paycheck
Dad left to Sweden five years ago
Mom was unhappy even then
 
I put a piece of cartboard to the window
So even some place could be warm
In the radio they sang 'Thank the Lord!'
Sunday mom passed away
 
And dad went to Sweden, mom to heaven
And the priest got coffee again
And my brother was drunk, I think I saw him cry
Snow made an angel to the doorway
 
And dad went to Sweden, mom to heaven
And the priest got coffee again
And my brother was drunk, I think I saw him cry
Snow made an angel to the doorway

Lullaby

I want you to sleep like a sun,
that lies in a wheat field,
here in my chest I have a heart,
same to the hole in your navel.
Do you know who trembled, when you were about to be born?
Do you know that I thought that maybe you couldn't do it?
Do you know who put you in the breast of your mother? Oh.
 
Maybe some day you asked me for a song,
that comes from the heart, here it goes.
Let's run for awhile, 'cause there is enough time,
there is enough time, all the time.
Nobody gave me ever so much light,
I haven't been ever so important to someone,
I never wanted to see the pain so far away,
to see you growing up is enough.
Teeth peeking and drawings on the skin,
every morning you turn on my motor,
One thousand watches don't mark the time like you! Oh!
 
Maybe some day you asked me for a song,
that comes from the heart, here it goes.
Let's run for awhile, 'cause there is enough time,
there is enough time, all the time.
Let's kiss the snow, let's fly,
let's kiss this sky,
nothing, nothing, nothing ever will divide us,
we're a flame in the winter.
I asked the Lord to give me one love,
I never thought I'd be so deep.

Water

Water, how I wish you,
water, I see you and I want you,
water, running through time,
water, dancing in hands of the sun.
 
Water, come out from my quill,
I want you to tickle me,
always, smiling sound,
give me, because my confusion is great.
 
Water, falling from the sky,
water, furiously and straight off,
washes all my memories,
give me your blessing in your leaves.
 
Wars, loves and games,
flames, lightnings, thunders,
ships, mountains and dreams,
all rests in your heart.
 
It was clear, it was life, from my hands it slipped away,
it kissed me, it wrapped me, but always water remained,
to dawn, naked in your ritual, and so I find you,
always calm.
 
It was clear, it was life, from my hands it slipped away...
 
(Water) we already know how it is,
(water) there is one and if there are two, there aren't two without three,
(water) we already know how it is,
(water) there is one and if there are two, there aren't two without three.
 
It can be colder and harder than you,
it can fall apart in fiery steam,
give me, give me, give me, give me some of your peace,
'cause my confusion is big, and I can't stand it anymore.
 
It can be colder and harder than you,
it can fall apart in fiery steam,
give me, give me, give me, give me some of your peace,
'cause my confusion is big, and I can't stand it anymore.
 
Ooh, eeh, ooh, eeh, ooh, the Earth is blue color Earth,
Ooh, eeh, ooh, eeh, ooh, the Earth is blue color Earth,
Ooh, eeh, ooh, eeh, ooh, the Earth is blue color Earth,
Ooh, eeh, ooh, eeh, ooh, the Earth is blue color Earth.

Peaceful

Versions: #2
Now that I'm empty,
now that there is no song,
the entire moon fits in me,
now that I'm a whistle,
of someone who is going for a walk,
I see another sky around.
 
All those wishes,
of cold night and alcohol,
I want to give them you today,
water splashes,
the fire is reality,
I liked your voice so much.
 
Letting it happen,
it is easier that way,
the body knows well how to float,
different looks,
and your answer,
show how pointless was what I said.
 
The mind is empty,
the body wants to spin,
and in the pupil that pain.
 
Oh, oh, I will have you with me,
and now I know very well, that you will take me with you,
wherever you are, wherever you go,
a blue tattoo, in the blue voice.
 
Something trembles in my ear,
shadow of a voiceless whisper,
the last chance.

Just

Versions: #2
Maybe it's not the wine,
maybe it's not the dessert,
maybe it's, it's nothing,
but there's so much beauty,
hurled on the table,
naked and overflowed,
you rush your glass,
you're losing you step,
and there is nothing on the table,
drunk is the door,
you closed it and it was open,
and I can hear your call.
Oh! just...
Oh! just...
 
Served is your mouth,
so sweet is your mouth,
so sweet with a bitter blues,
one glass rolls onto the floor,
slowly it falls onto the floor,
slowly it dies into a thousand pieces,
I don't want anybody to see them,
to see your eyes,
so, so, so, so sad,
maybe it's 'cause the destiny,
or that glass of wine,
that you said:
Oh! just...
Oh! just...
 
Jump the rope, it gets entangled,
and it falls upside down,
and it falls upside down,
and it falls upside down.
 
Oh! just...
Oh! just...

Loving two lads


Oh, my heart, why do you shudder,
and why did you lose your serenity?
This suitor is really nice,
but the other one is not bad either.
I'm in love, I'm burning and suffering.
Which one is dearest to me?
Loving two lads is so hard
Loving two lads is so hard
Loving two lads is so hard
It's so hard to love two lads.
I'm happy and sad at the same time,
I'm feverish and trembling.
I like this admirer very much,
but is he as good as he looks?
I'm determined to get married,
but who will be my husband?
Loving two lads is so hard
Loving two lads is so hard
Loving two lads is so hard
It's so hard to love two lads.
 
Loving two lads is so hard
It's so hard to love two lads.

Love

When love is really strong, it can't be stopped,
It won't be frightened and it won't give ground,
So let them threaten, beg, and scold,
And let them promise piles of gold,
Yet no one'll buy it, break it, or confound,
No!
For love's daydreaming and it's counting gains,
For love is sheer insanity and reason,
And uninvited it will come
To where it's not allowed to run,
For love does not obey the orders given,
No!
 
And having flashed like lightning in the night,
Love crushes sly designs of evil fortune,
Resound, (ye) hymn of love, ring with delight,
For swords may clink with all their might,
When strings have lost the strength to sing their love tunes,
No!

Ok, I get it that most of you just can't bring yourselves
to pressing 'Thanks' when you have already enjoyed
and probably sung an equirhythmic rhymed translation
and then realized that you couldn't have done a better
one yourself. Yet, avoiding this gesture implicitly helps
to promote other, often subpar work on this site. St.

Help me in singing

My charango, lets shout out loud
Lets never lower our voice
Lets never be forgotten
 
My charango, lets shout out loud
Lets never lower our voice
Lets never be forgotten
 
Men, women and children, help me and sing
With force our songs of protest
 
We do not want to disappear
Let us scream, protest
For the Joyful Living of our indigenous nations
 
Women, men and children
Charango, my little bird
Help me in singing
 
Women, men and children
Charango, my little bird
Help me in singing
 
Together, lets ask for justice and demand
Respect for our nations
Lets break this silence that we live in
Forever brave and dignified we are
 
Nations of Tawantinsuyu
Pacha Mama, Mother Earth
I sing for your beautiful flowers
 
Nations of Tawantinsuyu
Pacha Mama, Mother Earth
I sing for your beautiful flowers
 
Charango, with you my brother
We will continue on trailblazing through the world
Charango, with you my brother
We will ask respect for our nations

Crystal crear water is life

Chiwanku bird, my little chiwanku, go and pray for rainwater
Saying 'let the downpour', go and ask with your song
Rainwater is life, spring water is sweet
With our labor we will reach the joyful living, we will have water in our home
We will all be able to drink water, always well boiled
Crystal clear water is true life, so there is no sickness
Let’s take good care of the water so there may never be scarcity
So that our rivers and lakes forever remain clean

Lands of Mannakorpi

Lensmann in the law house swore and fussed,
when the hustler rolled hundreds from his wallet.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip!
 
Lensmann in the night and day driving in the forest,
searching for bootleggers' works and a kettle.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip!
 
The other boys drunk ate herrings,
and the others threw wood under the kettel.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip!
 
There has been dripped liters of a hundred,
wrecked has been bootlegger's pan and the kettle.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there has lots of moonshine been drip!
 
Now that time of free booze has dawned,
no longer will the moonshine do to us.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there is no longer moonshine being dripped.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there is no longer moonshine being dripped!
 
And if the sovereign keeps rising the prices,
then will the moonshine take its revenge.
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there will soon be moonshine dripped.
 
Hurahuhhahhei in the Lands of Mannakorpi,
there will soon be moonshine dripped!
 
Hurahuhhahhei!

küldj egy angyalt nekem

Versions: #3
csak a bölcsek útját járd
itt jön az első fény
hűs szél arcon talál
befordulnak az évek már
széles hangot hallasz belülről
a szíveddel dobban
hunyd le szemed, s látod már
a sötétből a szabadulást
 
itt várok
küldj egy angyalt nekem
itt állok
a hajnalok földjén
 
mondták sikeres leszel
a viharzó fényben
a virágot termő úton
csak mindig vigyázz
 
itt várok
küldj egy angyalt nekem
itt várok
a hajnalok földjén
 
csak a bölcsek útját járd
itt jön az első fény
hűs szél arcon talál
befordulnak az évek már
széles hangot hallasz belülről
a szíveddel dobban
hunyd le szemed, s látod már
a sötétből a szabadulást
 
itt várok
küldj egy angyalt nekem
itt állok
a hajnalok földjén
itt várok
küldj egy angyalt nekem
itt állok
a hajnalok földjén
