I'm so happy this was published recently in Youtube. I was almost 6 years when this was published.

This was published in 1969. The singer was Georg Ots, an Estonian opera singer.

Muuttuvat laulut vuosien mennen - The songs will change after years
Aika pois paljonkin vie - The time erases much
Muuttuuko ihminen ja mihin suuntaan - Does the human change and to what direction
Voi viedä huomispäivän tie - The way of tomorrow can erase much
On kenties vaikeaa kun myrskyt pauhaa - It is probably difficult with thunderous storm
jos etsii päivää kirkkaampaa - if you seek a day clearer than today

Huomisen laulun nyt soinnut luokaa - Let us create the chords of tomorrow songs today
Toistanne ymmärtäkää - Try to understand each other
On täällä jokainen vain tämän kerran - Everyone is here only this only time
Sä siksi etsi ystävää - Therefore seek a friend
Siis katso huomiseen se uusi onhan - and look at tomorrow that is new though
Se tuokoon kaiken lauluineen - Let that bring everything with its songs

Onko niin on paras eessäpäin - Is it so that the best is ahead
Toivon näin mä mielessäin - I wish that in my mind
Vai onko niin tie ei vie huomiseen - Or is it so that the way does not lead to tomorrow
Kaikki jää vain ennalleen - Everything will remain the same

Muuttuvat laulut vuosien mennen - The songs will change after years
Aika pois paljonkin vie - The time will erase much
Muuttuuko ihminen ja mihin suuntaan - Does the human change and to what direction
Voi viedä huomispäivän tie - The way of tomorrow will erase much
Jos luottaa uskaltaa niin myöskin voittaa - If you have the courage to trust you can also win
Ja löytää uuden ihmisen - And find a new human

Chas n Dave The Sideboard Song

Mother phoned up last night she was going spare
She was in a temper pulling out her hair
"Your sisters brought in this scruffy looking head
Father dont give a monkeys this is what he said"

(Chorus)
I dont care I dont care I dont care if he comes round here
I got my beer and a sideboard here let mother sort it out
if he comes round here

I said to me mother let me have a talk to dad
so he comes to the telephone he wasnt half mad
says "shes got no sense the silly little cow
and if he comes round here theres gonna be a row"

Repeat chorus

"I'll tell you something else an' all he's never got a job
he hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob"
mother says "calm down dad hes alright
there out there snogging in the passage all night"

Repeat chorus

Biggy was a tramp with stubble on his chin
he looks like something that the cats brought in
never got no money smokes all my fags
got holes in his soles and his hanging in rags

On top of that he says i tell you why i got the hump
she had a skinny little belly now its sticking out the front
theres nothing seems to fit her shes a running out of clothes
if he thinks he takes a liberties i'll punch him on the nose

One of my favorite pop orchestral violinists: Helmut Zacharias. Mackie Messer ("Mack the Knife" from Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper).

Laulu on iloni ja työni
(Traditional Finnish Folk Song)

Laulu se on ollut minun iltojeni ilo,
Ilo ihana kuin unennäky yöni.
Laulu se on ollut minun iltojeni ilo,
Ilo ihana kuin unennäky yöni.
Laulu se on ollut päivieni ratto
Ja laulu se on ollut minun työni.
Laulu se on ollut päivieni ratto
Ja laulu se on ollut minun työni.

Laulain mun elämäni nuorteena notkuu
Kuin kesäheinä vainioilla.
Laulain mun elämäni nuorteena notkuu
Kuin kesäheinä vainioilla.
Sillä on rinnoilla riemunviitta
Ja hauskanhuntu hartioilla.
Sillä on rinnoilla riemunviitta
Ja hauskanhuntu hartioilla.

Ottakaatte ilo irti elämästä
Ja täyttäkäätte ikävyyden lovi.
Ottakaatte ilo irti elämästä
Ja täyttäkäätte ikävyyden lovi.
Myöhäistä on silloin, kun tuonen tuvill' tullaan
Ja hiljainen on mullan musta povi.
Myöhäistä on silloin, kun tuonen tuvill' tullaan
Ja hiljainen on mullan musta povi.



Singing has been the joy of my evenings,
A joy as blissful as my dreamy nights.
Singing has been the joy of my evenings,
A joy as bissful as my dreamy nights.
Singing has been the pleasure of my days
And singing has been my task.
Singing has been the pleasure of my days
And singing has been my task.

Singing my life sways young
Like the summer hay in the meadows.
Singing my life sways young
Like the summer hay in the meadows.
It has a robe of euphoria on the bosom
and a merry veil on shoulders
It has a robe of euphoria on the bosom
and a merry veil on shoulders

Let's go to town of life
and fill the dent of sadness.
Let's go to town of life
and fill the dent of sadness.
It is too late when we arrive to the doors of death
And quiet is the bosom of the black mold
It is too late when we arrive to the doors of death
And quiet is the bosom of the black mold.

Kesäillan valssi - Waltz of a summer night

composer: Oskar Merikanto
artist: Veikko Ahvenainen

This Brazilian samba has been made famous all over the world by other bands in jazz, orchestral, rock, hip hop, ballad and even folk versions.

This is the original one, by Jorge Ben Jor. Mas que nada ("More than anything else").



More than anything
That is in my mind
I want to have a good time
Because the samba is hot
What I want is to dance samba
This samba
That is a mix of maracatu*
and the samba of the preto velho**
Samba for Black folks

More than anything else
This samba is cool
You won't like it
When it ends

---

* "Maracatu" is the dance of the coronation of the Reis do Congo, the leaders of the Brazilian slaves.

** "Preto velhos" were the wise old men who helped their people survive after they were brought to Brazil as slaves. They also preserved the old African songs.

An orchestra I love. From France, Franck Pourcel interprets Charles Aznavour's Mourir d'aimer ("To Die of Love").
