lyrics

7. Vähitellen
text&music: Nikolai Blad
(translation below)

Onko niin että vähitellen
meistä tulee hulluja,
niin kuuluu olla
ja ihmiset musertuvat toistensa syliin
Vaiko niin vähitellen
toinen hulluus valtaa
mitä enemmän sitä yritetään häätää

se tekee meistä sairaita
alkaa polttaa verta
joka kaikki yhdistää

punaiset sätkynuket hyppivät
kunnes ote kirpoaa
eikö kukaan halua enää
jaksa elää

hulluuden hiljaisista lapsista
tulee vähitellen noidan alkuja
noidan alkukoti korvessa
kuohuu pyhää vaahtoa
lapset kouristelevat
ja tekevät työtä käskettyä
noidan alkukoti on korvessa

Minä en usko voittoon
Enkä senaattorin tai pormestarin
suureen tulevaisuuteen
Aina on uskonnot toisiaan vainonneet
aina kilvan sännätty
vääräuskoisia käännyttämään
minä uskon että
lähtö- ja maaliviiva on sama
olen vastaan ottamassa tällä laululla, tällä viivalla, lootalla

älä sinä vaan hajoa tähän
Tänne on lapsia haudattu
Tiistaisin klo 15 katerpillari käy peittelemässä uudet tulokkaat
noidan alkukoti on
Moskova tai Praha, siellä kuohuu,
minä tiedän

Gradually

Is it so that gradually
we are going mad,
so it’s supposed to be
and people are crushed each other's arms?
Or is it so gradually
another madness takes over
the more you try to evict?
it makes us sick
begins to burn the blood
that unites everybody

red stooges jumping
until grip is lost
and nobody wants anymore
to live

the quiet children of the madness
gradually become witch beginnings
witch's original home in the wilderness
seethes with holy foam
spastic children
are doing the work commanded
witch's original home is in the wilderness

I do not believe in victory
nor in the senator’s or mayor’s great future
Religions have always persecuted each other
always raced to convert the infidels
I believe that
the start and finish line is the same
I'm wellcoming them with this song, on this line and this box

but you do not break down here
there are children buried here
Tuesdays at 15 a bulldozer comes to tuck in the newcomers
the original home of the witch is
Moscow or Prague, there’s foam,
I know
