4.ESPRESSO ”Espresso”

A song about migratory birds and coffee.

Laulu muuttolinnuista ja kahvista.

lyrics

ESPRESSO san&säv. Nikolai Blad
(scroll down for translation)

Katselin vanhaa
espressokeitintä
ja muistelin
sitä kiihkeyttä
lomaa rannikolla
ja kiiltävää espressokeitintä

sillä aikaa kun kahvi tulee
pikkulintuset ilmamassojen mukana
lentävät kasvoilta kasvoille
rannikolta toiselle
ja aurinko
lämmittää raunioita

sillä aikaa
kun kahvi tulee
tuulen mukana pikkulinnut
kasvoilta kasvoille
lentävät
rannikolta toiselle
etsien
lämmintä ilmaa
punaisilla siivillään
harmailla varpaillaan

Espresso

I watched the old espresso cooker
and recalled
that impetuosity,
a holyday by the coast
and the shiny espresso cooker

while the coffee is coming
tiny birds with the air mass
fly from face to face
coast to coast
and the sun warms the ruins

while the coffee is coming
tiny birds with the wind
fly from face to face,
coast to coast,
searching for the warm air
with their red wings
and grey toes
