Tällä hetkellä soi .....

Tää yleensä lopettaa kaiken paitsi akateemisen urputuksen: kaunein suomalainen laulu koskaan, ja paras maakuntalaulu ylivoimaisesti.

Ilmari Kiannon pojat ja pojanpojat vetivät kirjailijan arkun Niettussaareen Kiantajärvellä. Kianto valitsi sieltä itselleen hautapaikan 1920-luvulla.

The Highwaymen: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson





I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around and around and around and around...

I'll fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again
 
Ryssälauma · Åttopojat
Aatetta jaloa




Urheasti läksi ryssän rotupudas lauma
Petroskoista marssimahan Helsinkiin
Mut lämmitetty täällä oli Suomen savusauna
Taaskin pantiin ruski-iivan pyörryksiin
”Löyly tuima annettiin taisi palaa partakin
Koska polsut päänsä pisti pensaaseen”

Paha ompi ryssän olla Suomen rajamailla
Politrukit heiluttavat haataikkaa
Hapankaaliakin ompi vatsa siellä vailla
Molotov ei ehdi antaa sapuskaa
”Kunhan karkuun ennättäis
Vähät vaikka tossut jäis
Sitten hyppäis iivanat jälleen ripaskaa”

Stalinilla täällä oli valmis valtakunta
Viljapellot oottaa viljan korjaajaa
Ihanata linnassansa hän nyt näkee unta
Otto Ville johtaa kansanarmeijaa
”Messuhallin katolla sirppi on ja vasara
Eduskuntatalossa soi sirmakkaa”

Kenraalikuvernööri Kekkonen jo votkoon
Kasakat lyö eteisessä korttia
Pessin Villen teatteris balalaikat pauhaa
Pioneerit Aleksilla marssivat
”Asiat on hienosti kaalia saa vapaasti
Sitä tuottaa Seurasaaren kolhoosi”

Vorosilov pyhä veli yhdyt väärään virteen
Liian kova pähkinä on Suomen maa
Molotov jo itsensäkin voisi vetää hirteen
Tiltu kohta häkissänsä kotkottaa
”Lähtö tuli Iivana Uralille viivana
Surkeasti toppahousut rotkottaa”
 
Kim Wilde ikuisesti nuori,
On hieno laulu ääni ja kappale alfavilleltä

Forever Young
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad man

[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young


[Verse 2]
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young



It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true


[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever


[Outro]
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)
 
Mad'house Like a Prayer
Ranskalaista korvanruokaa.
Life is a mystery everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

I hear your voice,
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice,
I hear your voice
Feels like flying

I close my eyes,
Oh, God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky,
I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing

It's like a dream,
No end and no beginning
You're here with me,
It's like a dream
Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Just like a prayer,
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me,
You are a mystery

Just like a dream,
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer,
No choice your voice can take me there

[Repeat with ad-libs:]
Just like a prayer,
I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer,
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me,
You are a mystery

Just like a dream,
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer,
No choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer,
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me,
You are a mystery

Just like a dream,
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer,
No choice your voice can take me there

Your voice can take me there
Take me there
 
Muistaako kukaan miten tämä leffa päättyi? Neppihyrrä jäi pyörimään, eli kaikki oli unta?

Noh, biisi on eeppinen, ainakin... itse olen sitä mieltä että Mr. Cobb pääsi lastensa tykö.
Ainakin toivon näin.
