10. TANGO ON LAUMAELÄIN “Tango is a Gregarious Animal”

Story of a horse named Tango. To be accurate: Tango (my wife’s Icelandic horse) came to Finland in his dam’s womb. His dam was so well disciplined, that it could be ridden in a festival by waitress bringing beers. Tango got his name as a colt, cause it began to dance, if they played tangos on the radio.

Tango-hevosen tarina.

lyrics

TANGO ON LAUMAELÄIN san&säv. Nikolai Blad

Kerran lähti portista, kopoti kop
ajettiin kärryillä
joka pihaan poikettiin, kopoti kop
tuttujen ja vieraiden

riuhdottiin, huiskittiin, höristiin
ja maantielle taas

2
Yksin hirnui tallissa kopoti kop
kopse korviin kantautui
ikkunasta hyppäsi, kopoti kop
löysi uuden tallin, hoo

etsittiin, huhuiltiin, löydettiin
ja takaisin palautettiin

3
Nuoruudessaan Saksassa, kopoti kop
tarjoili kuohuvaa
varsana jo tallissa, kopoti kop
tunsi tangon kutsun, hoo

lähdettiin satamaan, seilattiin
niin Suomeen päädyttiin

Tango is a Gregarious Animal

1. Once out of the gate / they drove on the carriage / visiting every house / known or unknown / jerking, swishing, growling / and on the road again
2. Alone he neighed in the stable / hearing the pounding of hoofs / he jumped out of the window / and found a new stable / searching, calling, finding / and was returned
3. In his youth in Germany / he served effervescing drinks / as a colt in the stable already / he felt tango calling / set out to the harbour and sailing / ending to Finland
