hetaqrqir yerg e / yerevi te nuynisk jisht

 

The reincarnation song

Russian title: Pesenka o pereselenii dush

Some may believe in Jesus, some in Mohammed or whatever,

Some don't believe in anything, just to spite them all.

There is a good belief in India, and it is rather clever:

That when we kick the bucket we don't pass away for all.

To rise to heaven you may strive:

You'll have a dream when born again,

But if you've lived a piggy's life,

A piggy you'll remain.

If people look askance at you, take all reproaches easy,

Don't worry, you'll be born again a man with a mordant tongue,

And if you've seen the death of a foe, there's every reason

To think that after death you will be born a keen-eyed man.

So keep on living, and have fun,

Be happy and don't bother,

Maybe, your soul will settle down

In some big boss's body.

If you are engaged in sweeping streets, you'll be an engineer,

And maybe slowly grow into a minister in time.

But if you're dull and stupid, you'll be born a baobab-tree an'

Will remain one for a thousand years or more, until you die.

It's bad to live a parrot's life,

Or be a snake-like demon,

Hadn't one better live a life

Of just a decent human?

Well, who is who and who was who, to this there is no answer,

Geneticists are off their nuts o'er chromosomes and genes.

Perhaps that shabby looking cat at one time was a rascal,

And this good natured person was a friendly dog, it seems.

I jump for joy, just like a kid,

And I avoid all hindrance,

A very good belief indeed

Has been thought up by Indians!

The story of the band behind this song is so tragic. I'm glad I found out that it's not a Mariah Carey song, even though she sings it so beautifully. This way we can honor the creators of this beautiful and timeless song.

And here's the original by Badfinger.

how many of you remember this song?

 

 

Tombe la neige

 

I can't hear anything. Edo, is it because every guy on this forum including yourself, played the video over and over again and the sound just finally gave up? "Ara, vay el chem karox! Heriqa!" Or is it because this song is the beat of a man's heart that only a man can hear? This video is more complicated than it seems.

 

By the way, love your avatar, is it from Mimino?
