From Egotrippi's (again) Helsinki-Hollola Cd the song Lennokki:
"Näissä tunneissa on jotain mitä haluaisin omistaa,
ei mikään liikahda
pölykoiratkin pysyttelee kopeissaan
ja tietää mihin luottaa
kun luottaa tällaiseen paikkaan"
" In these hours there's something I'd like to own
nothing moves
even (well not the most perfect translation :o) dustdogs stay in their doghouses
and you know what to trust
when you trust a place like this"
I think this is just perfectly "tiivistetty"/said about those moments which you somehow feel are totally unique, you just simply know that you'd really like stay in that moment, you'd like to remember and come back to it - you'd really like to store into a bottle to be enjoyed also later.
That same song amazingly has another really great phrasing about thoughts:
" Ajatukset ovat kuin lennokki
kun ne saavat ilmaa allensa
kaikki tuntuu lapsen leikiltä
kai se kasvattaa"
"Thoughts are like a model plane
when they get air under their wings
everything feels like child's play
guess it matures you"
1 song - 2 great summaries
The same record has another great song with lyrics that I have really not managed to sort out what they mean. This is bloody great since I find myself always singing along and thinking what could this mean in the car whenever I'm listening the song.
"Kerro minut viidellä niin saat
noin viisi kertaa surremman kuin nyt
kerro minut kuudella niin oon
silloin se joka suoristaa
tätä mutkaa jossa aina kyyristelen
Silloin hengittää
kaikkea tätä turhaa
ja silloin hengittää
vaikka käytettyä ilmaa
eikä keuhkot lyö lukkooon
ei sydän lakkaa
olemasta juuri sitä mitä mieli kaipaa"
"multiply me with 5 and you get
about 5 times bigger me compared to now
multiply me with 6 and I'll be
the one who straighthens
this bend where I always crouch
and then you breath
all this which is vain
and then you breath
even used air
and your lungs will not break
your heart will not stop
to be what your mind yarns"
Brialliant as they would say in Fast Show...

Minäkin löysin Egotripin vasta kaksi vuotta sitten, kun ostin heidän kokoelmaleyvnsä. Suomalaisissa sanoituksissa on jotain, jota (valtavirran) amerikkalainen tuotanto ei tavoita millään.
Jees ! Noin on ... Egotrippi ja Pauli Hanhiniemi/Kolmas Nainen on ihan vaan meitin suomalaisten herkkua (ja eikös ne herkut ole parasta kun tietää ettei ihan kaikki saa niitä ? ;o)
Halaukset sinne Friskoon molemmille !
