Lapsuuden sankarille
Heikki SaloTraduzione inglese di Juha Rämö | |
FLY ON JURI GAGARIN What do the stars smell like? Do they feel like ivory? Has planet Earth sung the song of silence? First you dance with Africa. Then see wasted Finland. Or do you sail the clouds, clouds, the oceans? Fly on Juri Gagarin fly on Juri Gagarin keep the promise running, keep it alive Can you see the missiles melted to their targets? Can you see us ashamed of our innocence? Can you see the money flow? Where does it go? Can you see the traders of defence? Fly on Juri Gagarin fly on Juri Gagarin keep the promise running, keep it alive Can you see me smiling at you? I'm still here waiting. Can you see lovers wait for the new year? And when you wear your headphones and turn up the volume, can you hear how children are born down here? Fly on Juri Gagarin fly on Juri Gagarin keep the promise running, keep it alive | TO A CHILDHOOD HERO How do the stars smell? Or the bony Moon? Can you hear the Earth moving like a silent fugue? How does Africa look like? Do the hips of Finland swing or are they covered with clouds? Fly on, Yuri Gagarin, fly on, Yuri Gagarin. Come back alive. Can you see the tracer bullets stitching the Earth and people being ashamed of their innocence? Can you see the money moving? Can you see where it goes when cargo loads of weapons change hands? Fly on, Yuri Gagarin, fly on, Yuri Gagarin. Come back alive. Can you see the look in my eyes from there? The look that's still warm. Can you see the lovers over cities? And when you put on your headphones and turn the volume to ten, can you hear children being born here? Fly on, Yuri Gagarin, fly on, Yuri Gagarin. Come back alive. |
