Kantripolska - Country Polska

from Kaisla by Kardemimmit

/

about

A polska created during the legendary Orivesi folk music camp with the help of our wonderful friend and teacher Tellu. Influenced by musical genre that is close to the hearts of Kardemimmit. "My old darling's eyes were blue and I remeber them every time I close my eyes. I can see their red house in the distance but once I have left, I will never look back nor think about them again. I sleep alone, safe in the top bunk. Last week might have been sad for you but for me it was happy: I left you and haven't regretted it for a moment. The only bad thing about being alone is that you have to do everything by yourself..."

lyrics

Vanhalla kullalla on heliän siniset silmät, ne muistuvat mun mieleheni aina.
Joka lauantai ja välihi viikollaki ja aika kun vaan silmäni kiinni painan.
Tuoltapa näkyy minun heilani talo jok' on punaseksi maalattuna.
Kun mä sieltä lähdin, heilat mielestä heitin, enkä sen jälkeen oo taakse katsonutkaan.
Minä, minä menen ylisänkyyn maata jottei sinne kaikki konnat pääse.
Ei kenenkänä oo niin lysti olla ku vanhan piian ja poijan yksinääsen.
Menny viikko oli mullen ilosta ja sullen taisi olla surullista.
Vanhan kullan jätin niin kuin pienen linnun, eikä siinä ollut katumista.
Minä, minä menen ylisänkyyn maata jottei sinne kaikki konnat pääse.
Ainoo huono puoli yksinolossa on että täytyy tehdä kaikki itse.
