J. Alfred Tanner - Eduskunnasta tammikuulla 1918 versuri traducere în engleză


Translation

From Parliament in January 1918


When a good citizen is not to be seen during wee hours
sitting in a restaurant, he goes to the Parliament,
I am also one of those for whom diligence and work
for the people is a joy even though it's midnight.
 
And so I decided to go to the Parliament to listen and watch. I really must say that it was indeed exciting, just like in such movies in which they go inside through the chimney and come out of the oven and still have lots of police officers behind, the only thing missing was that the janitor at the door would shout that 'Come every gimmick watch come eat needle pharynx twenty-five pennies ticket'. – Though I was totally a first-timer, I still let the janitor notice about me like 'thanks for yesterday'. And I took my place. While I came in, at the speaker's place there was a soloist practitioner, a kind of competitor, he sang something like this about some kind of million-worth lottery tickets.
 
No yes and then no yes
no yes and again no yes
no yes and still no yes
no yes no yes no yes no yes
This is how it's done in Finland although it's night until
the chairman's gavel knocks 'knock'.
 
The places there would become very cramped
If there weren't two lecterns for speakers
When the left speaks, its head is towards the right.
And that of the right, on the contrary, somewhat like this.

This is translated into Finnish by the interpreter as follows: The speaker mentioned that his party has always tried what's best for his country, the speaker continued that and wondered why, um, the left does not understand such a simple thing. The speaker continued still: Hins inkatu hitinplitiä which you probably understand. At the end the speaker suggested that they would vote on whether to table or initiate the matter.
 
No yes and again no yes
no yes and then no yes
no yes and still no yes
no yes no yes no yes
This is how it's done in Finland although it's night until
the chairman's gavel knocks 'knock'.
 
A member of parliament from the Center party reminiscing very hard
He performed again just like skating on ice
About who the matter concerned, he turned in that direction
To the right and to the left somewhat like this.
 
I apologize that I cannot bring my thoughts on display as diplomatically as it would be desirable for the gentlemen of the Parliament, and I'm sorry that I cannot use such a flagarant wording as comrades wish. Otherwise as to what comes to the matter in display, our group is, as it is with regards to all other issues, in favour of a report. I suggest that we'll vote as our group likes everything that is of positive nature.
 
No yes and again no yes
no yes and then no yes
no yes and still no yes
no yes no yes no yes no yes
This is how it's done in Finland although it's night until
the chairman's gavel knocks 'knock'.
 
And the extreme left, oh wow if you get it
Annoyed or to the mood.
So then he gets a move on like a haymaker
All members moving and the forelock sweating.
 
What I'm about to say has been repeated already many times from this platform. People have claimed here that no work has been done with these hands, that only agitation has been done with these, but I can now prove that work has been done with these and is being done right now, we shall not be betrayed, know that. The bourgeois have jeered here that they can give long speeches, but I want to show that we can also do it. I'll say one more time, and if you won't believe me, I'll still say one more time that the bourgeois are weaseling, the bourgeois are breaking the law. As we know, we just enacted an Act of an eight-hour working day

Is everything really fine as is?…





[Stanza omitted in this performance]
The world is washed by the rain, dried by the sun…
In this world, everyone knows:
If you can hear - then you must listen!
If you have a voice - then you must sing!
 

I did not go looking for a forbidden treasure.
Life threw me a nickel - on that nickel I lived.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

No abode, no yard… no cherry orchard…
Home and family to us - a tavern, everlasting
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

From the latest war, my rewards are prostheses.
They say we died for nothing in the crucible of war.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

Even if we are docile, like an obedient herd,
And even if dogs cannot stomach our food.
We do not need anything! We need not go anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

Even though at times, we aren’t even glad to be living,
Even if the neighbor lives for a quarter a month.
She needs nothing, she needs not to go anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

And it seems to me that beyond the grave’s veil,
Chuckling in the coffin, I will say: 'What a nut!
I don't need anything... need not go anywhere...
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

And when, finally, we’ll tire of humiliation,
Get tired of handouts, tired of fights -
Maybe then we will ask ourselves:
Is everything really fine as is? Is everything really fine as is?!

The Mariner





The Mariner, The Mariner
Has gone around the Earth
From Portugal to Peru
From Brazil down to England
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Went on an adventure
On the Atlantic Ocean
He lived like a corsair
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Arrives from the ends of the world
With magnificent silks
For brunette girls and blonde ones
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Had left without wealth
He returns on a three-mast ship
Filled with gold and jewels
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Loves the strong wind in the sails
The scorching sun of Africa
And the Northern Lights as well
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Is a child of Bohemia
He doesn't know how to say thank you
But knows too well how to say I love you
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

Ola Olé, The Mariner is back
Olé Ola, they say it's for love

Don't look at me that way and kiss me no more





Don’t look at me that way tonight
As I sense your love in my heart
Don’t look at me as the music is playing
I’ll tell you the things I'm feeling
So close your eyes and leave
For your eyes are as green and dreamy
As once hers
I’m a man without the strength
To start all over again
I’m a dreamer
who’s dreamed
With only one woman
I’m a gambler with no luck
I’m scared
I’m begging you
Leave now
And don’t look at me that way
And kiss me no more
Don’t offer me your lips tonight
I’ll wish them to always kiss me
Don’t speak so nicely
I don’t trust the lips that lose
They lied to someone else
They will lie to me too
Like once hers once.
As they lied to someone else
They will lie to me too
Just like once hers

How beautiful this world is





How beautiful it is
This world
There the stream,
Here the flower,
Over there the field,
Here, the garden,
Up there, the sun,
Down here, the shade!
Over there the Danube,
Full of gold,
There the grass,
Here the shrub,
The nightingale's song
Sways the hedge.
I listen to it
And my friend.
