We now have a special request
Bouilliabai, bouilliabai, bouilliabai...
Stroganoff, bouilliabai
Here we go...
Well, you'd better leave the lights on, on stage
'Cause we have to read this music,
We've never played it before
On the other side of the open sea somewhere there is a land,
where the wave of happiness floats to the far shore.
Where the most beautiful flowers always shine,
there the worries of tomorrow can stay I forget.
Oh, if I could visit that fairyland once,
I would never leave there like a bird.
But without wings I cannot fly, I am a prisoner of the earth,
I only dream of how far away I am there I can visit.
Fly the song to where the fairy tale flies,
to where my love awaits me.
Fly the song there like a bird flies.
Tell me that even in the evenings he is alone.
Oh if only once...
Translation of the first two Finnish verses:
There's a land beyond the vast sea
where waves Wash on the Shores of happiness
where beautiful flowers always blossom
where worries of Tomorrow can be forgotten
Oh if once I could go to that fairytale land
never would I leave from there like a bird
but without wings I cannot fly , I'm a prisoner of ground
only in thoughts that reach so far can I ever be there
