lyrics

2. Troijan samovaari,
text&music: Nikolai Blad
(translation below)

Lähdin Troijasta aamulla, ennen kukonlaulua.
Siellä on sodittu, tapettu ja raiskattu niin paljon,
ettei mitkään merkit riitä
ei mitkään kunniamerkit riitä
palauttamaan kadotettua kunniaa.

En ole taistelija, enkä sotilas,
olen sotatanner, taistelujen tanner
jolla ne joukot sotivat, marssivat ja kylvävät
kylväneet kauhunsa minuun
mutta se ei kasva enää, teidän kauhunne ei verso enää
Ja Troijan samovaari hehkuu ja halkeaa

ollaanko me velkaa niille joilla on enemmän
vai ollaanko me velkaa niille joilla on vähemmän?
vähemmän kuin meillä, enemmän kuin meillä,
kaikilla on joku velka… elämälle!
joka pitää kii, velka pitää elämässä kii
ne joilla on eniten velkaa, ei välttämättä ole niitä köyhimpiä
Toiset hankkii aina lisää rahaa, jotta voisivat unohtaa…velkansa elämälle…
ja Troijan samovaari hehkuu ja halkeaa

nämä savukiehkurat kaukana
missä meren ja aavikon tuulet kohtaavat
nämä kiehkurat maailman reunalla
minun sydämessäni, sydän rinnassani on aina avoin
ja Troijan samovaari hehkuu ja halkeaa

Trojan Samovar

I left Troy in the morning, before cockcrow
There has been fighting, killing and raping so much,
that none of badgess are enough
there’s not enough medals
to restore the lost glory.

I'm not a fighter, and I am not a soldier,
I’m the battlefield
where the troops fought, marched and sow
they sow terror in me
but it is not growing anymore, your fear doesn’t grow more
And Trojan samovar glows and splits

do we owe to those who have more
or to those who have less?
less than us or more than we have,
we all have a debt ... for life!
which keeps hold, the debt keeps us alive
those with most debt, are not necessarily the poorest
others are making allways more money in order to forget their debts ... for life ...
and Trojan samovar glows and splits

these smoke rings far away
where the sea breeze and the desert wind encounter
These rings on the edge of the world
in my heart, the heart in my chest stays always open
and Trojan samovar glows and splits
