about

"Sing your heart out even if your heart is heavy and there's no smile on your face. Don't waste your time waiting for a right moment. Sing when you still can - you can rest your tongue six feet under.
When I start to sing, I'll sing for nine days and nine nights. When I start to sing I sing ocean into honey, sand of the ocean into barley malt, and gravel into salt."

lyrics

Laula, laula, suu suruinen, keiku kieli huolellinen!
Et sie sitte laulakaan, sitt' ei kieli keikukaan,
kun sun pannaan paariloille, purilaille puntataan, alle mullan multataan.
Saat sitt' suu surussa olla, kieli leikistä levätä, mullan alla murehtuu.

Mie ku seännyn laulamaa, mie laulan yheksän yötä.
Mie ku seännyn laulamaa, mie laulan meret mesiksi,
meren mullat maltasiksi, suoloiksi meren somerot.
