Varpunen jouluaamuna / The sparrow in the Cristmas morning

 

Lumi on jo peittänyt kukat laaksosessa,
järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa,
varpunen pienoinen syönyt kesäeinehen,
järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa.

Pienen pirtin portailla oli tyttökulta:
Tule varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Joulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton,
tule tänne riemulla, ota siemen multa!

Tytön luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta:
Kiitollisna siemenen otan kyllä sulta.
Palkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua.
Kiitollisna siemenen ota kyllä sulta.

En mä ole, lapseni, lintu tästä maasta.
Olen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit köyhällen,
pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.

The Sparrow in the Christmas morning

 

Snow already covered all in the valley yonder
frozen is the wave of lake in the frost of winter.
Little sparrow sweet and good
eaten up his summer food.
Frozen is the wave of lake in the frost of winter.

 

On the stairs of little house stood a girl who plead:
Come dear sparrow and with joy take from me a seed!
It’s Christmas now and here
sparrow without home and cheer.
Come dear sparrow and with joy take from me a seed!

 

To the girl’s feet filled with joy flew the darling sparrow:
Gratefully I take from you seed of blood and marrow.
God will pay you threefold
darling girl with soul of gold.
Gratefully I take from you seed of blood and marrow.

Dear child I’m not a bird from this world of strangers
I’m your little brother dead coming from the heavens.
When you fed the poor in need
you gave me a little seed.
I’m your little brother dead from the land of angels.

 

Zacharias Topelius

Copaci fara padure

Copaci fara padure

 

in povestea copacilor goi
scartaind intr-o singura usa
este vorba de noi amandoi
este vorba de foc si cenusa

doi copaci fara frunze pe drum
dupa cum ii priveste inaltul
doi copaci prin sarutul de scrum
aplecandu-se unul spre altul

nu mai suntem decat doi copaci
vor veni taietori sa ne tunda
vor lua crengi toti copiii saraci
http://Versuri.ro/w/lot1
pentru flacara lor muribunda

si chiar daca ma vei mai iubi
peste crivatul iernii ce vine
fara brate cu ochii pustii
n-am sa am ce intinde spre tine

spune-mi padure cu frunza rara
unde-i iubirea de asta vara?
nu stie iarna sa se indure
de noi copacii fara padure.

You never can tell

POSTED IN Music October 21, 2017

You never can tell

 

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin’ worked out well
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, ’twas a cherry red ’53
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

I saw you dancing

POSTED IN Music October 11, 2017

I saw you dancing

 

I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da
I’m waiting for a change
To get to know you
To ask for a dance
Just look into my eyes
And I’ll take you to paradise
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da
I’m falling, I’m falling
Cause life’s not easy for me
Please touch me like you do
To have you near me
To go where you go
Why waste a lot of time
My love is not a serious crime
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da
I’m falling to pieces
Who do you think you are
Maybe I’ve gone too far
Maybe I’m in love with you
Don’t hurt me or treat me bad
Cause I will fight for what is mine
Say Yaki-Da
Cause life is meant for living
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da.

I feel like a woman

POSTED IN Music September 23, 2017

I feel like a woman
Let’s go girls! Come on.

I’m going out tonight, I’m feelin’ alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise, really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions, make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain’t gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild, yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break, tonight we’re gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don’t need romance, we only wanna dance
We’re gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild, yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild, yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
(to feel the way I feel)
Man! I feel like a woman!

I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman.

Big Eyes

POSTED IN Music September 18, 2017

Big eyes

 

 

 
With your big eyes
And your big lies

I saw you creeping round the garden
What are you hiding?
I beg your pardon,
Don’t tell me nothing
I used to think that I could trust you
I was your woman
You were my knight and
Shining companion
To my surprise, my love’s demise
Was his own greed and lullabies
With your big eyes
And your big lies

I noticed you got hot in summer
You had no comfort
Your shirt was cotton
Your face was sunburned
You paced around like you’d been waiting,
Waiting for something
Your world was burning
And I stood watching
As I looked down
The flames grew high
You watched me frown
I said good-bye
With your big eyes
And your big lies.

Is it me, was I wrong
To have trusted you?
Did I see what I want,
What wasn’t true?
Was I wrong to go on
Like a little fool?
It’s amazing what
Women in love will do
With your big eyes
And your big lies.

Ma vie c’est toi

POSTED IN Music September 17, 2017

Ma vie c’est toi

 

 

Si tu veux, je serai ce pays
Quand tu auras soif d’exil
Je serai ce pont qui relie
Nos vies qui basculent sur un fil
Je serai cet arbre qui penche
Pour qu’ mes branches tu t’accroches
Et ce tapis de feuilles mortes
Pour nos quelques folies d’automne
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie c’est toi
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie pour toi
Je serai l’escalier qui mne
Au toit que tu auras choisi
Je peindrai les mots que tu aimes
Aux quatre murs de tes envies
J’irai au plus profond de moi
Te faire une place au soleil
J’irai o jamais on ne va
Si c’est pour que tu t’merveilles
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie c’est toi
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie pour toi
Je serai ce temps qu’il nous reste
Si c’est de l’amour qu’il te faut
Car l’univers qui me ressemble
C’est dans tes yeux qu’il se balance
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie c’est toi
Ma vie… Ma vie
Ma vie pour toi
Pour toi.

The Skye Boat song

POSTED IN Music September 17, 2017

The Skye boat song
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.

Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was good, all that was fair,
All that was me is gone.

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.

Dunya gozaran

Dunya gozaran o kaar-e dunya gozaran
Khosh peer shawi, aye yaar-e jawan
Man naghma saraye dil-e aashiq pesaran

Gul megozarad mausam-e gul megozarad
Maa sheeshta o karwaan ze pol megozarad
Emsaal gozarad saad-e deegar baaz ayad
Taa saal degar omre jawan megozarad

Dunya gozaran o kaar-e dunya gozaran
Khosh peer shawi, aye yaar-e jawan
Man naghma saraye dil-e aashiq pesaran

Begana ghareeb o mulke begana ghareeb
Beemaram o bekasam na darman na tabeeb
Koo madar o daadar ke duwaye khanad?
Begana chi danat ke chi shod marde ghareeb

Dunya gozaran o kaar-e dunya gozaran
Khosh peer shawi, aye yaar-e jawan
Man naghma saraye dil-e aashiq pesaran.

دنیا گذران و کار دنیا گذران
خوش پیر شوی، ای یار جوان
من نغمه‌سرای دل عاشق پسران

گل می گذرد، موسم گل می گذرد
ما شیشته و کاروان ز پل می گذرد
امسال گذرد، سال دگر باز آید
تا سال دگر، عمر جوان می گذرد

دنیا گذران و کار دنیا گذران
خوش پیر شوی، ای یار جوان
من نغمه‌سرای دل عاشق پسران

بیگانه قریب و ملک بیگانه غریب
بیمارم و بی کسم، نه درمان نه طبیب
کو مادر و دادر که دعائی خواند
بیگانه چه داند که چه شد مرد غریب

دنیا گذران و کار دنیا گذران
خوش پیر شوی ای یار جوان
من نغمه‌سرای دل عاشق پسران
