One of the great rock songs in Spanish: Sui Generis with Canción para mi muerte ("Song To My Death").



There was a beautiful time
when I was truly free
Keeping all my dreams
in crystal castles

Little by little I grew up
and my ideals of love
Faded away slowly
like soap bubbles

I shall find you a morning
inside my room
and you'll make the bed
for us both.

The road appears long
when you look behind
You cross all borders
without even realizing it

Hold on tight to the handle
because before arriving
A thousand old people held on
but they are gone the same

I shall find you a morning
inside my room
and you'll make the bed
for us both.

I want to know your name
your location, your address
And if you got a phone
also its number

I beseech you to tell me
when you're coming for me
It's not that I'm scared
I just want to be ready

I shall find you a morning
inside my room
and you'll make the bed
for us both. {x2}

A Finnish traditional song - On suuri sun rantas autius



Performed by American University Chamber Singers 2/24/08.

On suuri sun rantas autius, / It is big, the desolation of your shores
Sitä sentään ikävöin, / I miss it though,
Miten villisorsan valitus soi kaislikossa öin. (2x) / How the cry of a mallard in reeds sounds in the night. (2x)

Joku yksinäinen eksynyt, / One lonely got lost
Joka vilua vaikeroi, / who is crying its cold
Jok' on kaislikossa kierrellyt eik' emoa löytää voi. (2x) / who has bummed around and cannot find its dam (2x)

Sun harmajata aaltoas / Your grey waves
Olen katsonut kyynelein: / I have watched with tears
Ens' suruansa itkenyt rannallas mun oma nuoruutein. (2x) / Cried her first sorrow on your shore, my own youth. (2x)

Juha Tapio - Ohikiitävää / Fleeting

Tuuli hiuksillaan / the wind on her hair
hiekkaa varpaissaan / sand on her toes
silmin hehkuvin / with eyes smoldering
tyttö naapurin, öihin valkeisiin / the girl next door, the luminous nights
kanssas kauniit niin / so beautiful with you
kesät kuljettiin / we walked the summers

Enkä milloinkaan / And I never
tullut kertomaan / come to tell
salaa iltaisin, meistä haaveilin / that in the evenings secretely, I dreamed of us
Siitä kuinka jäät, mun syliin kiihkeään / How you stay, in my passionate lap
kun aamu hämärtää / when the dawn breaks

Joskus vieläkin, talviaamuisin / Still sometimes, in the winter morning
mietin missä meet / I think where do you go
onko vastanneet / have the years
vuodet unelmiis / returned your dreams
Minkälainen tie, sulle annettiin / what kind of way, was given to you

Niin kaikki ohikiitävää / Everything is so fleeting
Ikävä ja riemu joka hetken värähtää / sadness and joy that cringes momentarily
Mitä toivot että jää, kun pihan poikki kuljet / what do you wish to stay when you walk across the yard
ja jäljet häviää / and the tracks do dissappear

Kuuman heinäkuun, yössä hehkuen / In hot July, glowing in the night
sanoit pakahtuu, mun sydän janoinen / you said that bursting, is my thirsty heart
pelätä ei saa, jos tahtoo milloinkaan / You must not be afraid if you ever want
onnen saavuttaa. / to achieve the happiness.
Tyttö naapurin, silmin palavin, suuren maailmaan, / The girl next door, with smoldering eyes, to the big world
Käytkö vieläkin? / Do you still go?
Kaikki aikanaan, kun turha riisutaan / All in good time when trifling is peeled off
Saitko rakastaa? / Did you receive love?

Ohikiitävää / Fleeting
Ikävä ja riemu joka hetken värähtää / sadness and joy that cringes momentarily
Mitä toivot että jää, kun pihan poikki kuljet / what do you wish to stay when you walk across the yard
ja jäljet häviää. / and the tracks do disappear
Niin ohikiitävää / so fleeting
ikävä ja riemu joka hetken värähtää / sadness and joy that cringes momentarily
Mitä toivot että jää / what do you wish to stay
kun pihan poikki kuljet, ja jäljet häviää. / when you walk across the yard and the tracks do dissappear

Ohikiitävää / fleeting

Mitä toivot että jää / what do you wish to stay

Aikakone - Hiljaisuus / Silence

Tummuu ilta jouluyöhön / The night darkens to Christmas night
Nostan katseen ylös tähtiyöhön / I raise my eyes up to the starry night
On vaan yksinäisyys seuranaan / Only the silence in company
Hiljaisuus / Silence

Lumen alla luomakunta / Under the snow the Creation
nukkuu tuulen kanssa talviunta / sleeps with the wind a winter sleep
On vaan yksinäisyys seuranaan / Only the silence in company
Hiljaisuus / Silence

Tahtoisin kuulla laulun enkelten / I would like to hear the singing of the angels
kertovan joulun sanomaa / telling the gospel of Christmas
Ois hetken täällä luona ihmisten / being a moment here by the humans
enkeleiden joulumaa / the winterland of angels

Yön laulu kauas kohoaa / The song of the night raises far away
Yön laulu kauas katoaa / The song of the night dissapears far
Yön laulu kauas kohoaa / The song of the night raises far
Yön laulu kauas katoaa / The song of the night disappears far

Unelmalle siivet anna / Give wings for a dream
Anna voimaa minut valoon kanna / Give me strenght carry me to the light
Tuo vaan pieni taivas päälle maan / Bring only a small heaven on earth
Hiljaisuus / Silence



or sung by Antti Tuisku

Tehosekoitin - Hetken tie on kevyt kulkea - For a moment the road is light to walk



Mä tunnen sinut pikkusisko, / I kwow you little sister,
vaikka vasta kohdattiin / although we just met
niin monin kasvoin ennenkin / with so many faces before
sä vierelläni maannut oot. / you have slept with me.

Takkuiset hiukset rinnoillasi, / Shaggy hair on your breast,
aamuyön utu silmissä / the haze of the early morning in your eyes
kuin lihaksi ois tulleet / like had incarnated
kasteiset niityt unenlaakson. / the dewy meadows in a dream valley.

Kun yössä yksin vaeltaa, / when you wander alone in the night
voi kaltaisensa kohdata / you can meet someone like you
ja hetken tie / and the way for a moment
on kevyt kaksin kulkea. / is light to walk as a pair

Ei etäisyys, ei vuodetkaan, / no distance, no years
ei mikään meitä erota. / nothing separates us,
Kun hetken vain / When momentarily only
sut pitää saan ja unohtaa... / I can keep you and forget...

Kun unessasi pikkusisko / When in your dream little sister
kuupurrellasi purjehdit / you are sailing with your moon ship
ja aamutähti otsalla / and the morning star on your forehead
astelet yön laitoja. / you walk the fringes of the night.

Sateiset saaret lännen ääreen / Rainy islands to the bounds of west
kirsikan kukat japaniin / Cherry flowers to Japan
niin etelä ja pohjoinen / like the south and the north are
kaikki meitä varten on. / all for us.

Kun yössä yksin vaeltaa / when you walk alone in the night
voi kaltaisensa kohdata / you can meet someone like you
ja hetken tie / and the way for a moment
on kevyt kaksin kulkea. / is light to walk as a pair.

Ei etäisyys, ei vuodetkaan, / no distance, no years,
ei mikään meitä erota / nothing separates us
kun hetken vain / when momentarily only
sut pitää sain ja unohtaa... / I could keep you and forget...

Ikuisuus, yksi huokaus vain, / Eternity, only one sigh,
yksi yö kuin koko elämä, / one night like the whole life,
tuoksussasi keväät tuhannet/ in your scent thousands of springs.

Ei etäisyys, ei vuodetkaan, / no distance, no years,
ei mikään meitä erota, / nothing separates us,
ja hetken tie / and the way for a moment
on kevyt kaksin kulkea. / is light to walk as a pair.

Bertin Osborne. Tú, sólo tú (Spain 1981).



You, only you, temptation
In the shadows of the garden
Full moon in my living room
Passing caress on my skin
Soft flight of a swallow
Little paper crane
Wishing to be a hawk

You, only you, dearest
Pink rose on the tablecloth
White letter in the post
Red kiss with lipstick
Black bison hair
In the end you only you
In the end I only I

Don't leave me yet
Yet... don't leave me
You are mine, mine, you

You only you, dearest, temptation
You're the note missing
In my song

You only you, how couldn't you
I look at the air and it's you
You are wherever I am
Following me when I walk
Spying me from the corners
I open a book and there you are
Hiding among the words

Don't leave me yet
Yet... don't leave me
You are mine, mine, you

You only you, dearest, temptation
You're the note missing
In my song

You only you, hoe couldn't you
I look at the air and it's you
You are wherever I am
Following me when I walk
Spying me from the corners
I open a book and there you are
Hiding among the words...

Thank you Heli. I know a great instrumental version of L'Oiseau et l'enfant by Paul Mauriat. It's not online (yet!) but there is his version of La Peregrinación, you may enjoy it. smile

Sorry Marcella I prefer the original "La Peregrinación" sung in Spanish. Something in that song, maybe melancholy of the Andes speaks to my deep soul.

Turned into French it sounds like Swedish meatballs avec perfume smile (No offense to French music)

Oh no, it's instrumental. I like orchestral versions of popular music, and even symphonic ones (gosh even Alanis Morissette can be turned into a decent orchestral suite!).

But I also love the original, of course. The song itself is part of the "Misa Criolla" (a 'criollo' is a full-blooded Spaniard born in Latin America, misa means mass) by Argentinian composer Ariel Ramírez.

However, he drew inspiration mostly from Andean folk music, and his youth mentor was the great Atahualpa Yupanqui (Quechua name meaning "virile accountant" by the way).

I also love the version by José Carreras:
