Words of wisdom for a newly married woman about behaving in her new home: getting up early, doing all the chores.
lyrics
Lyrics by Maria Koert from Mustjala 1961.
EST:
Oidke rahvas, tehke ruumi,
ma tahan öde öpetada,
noorukesta noomida!
Kes tahab pereminiaks minna,
see peab une unustama,
magamise maha jätma,
ukselappe uinuma, (ja)
lävelappe langema. (ja)
Kui kuuled kuked laulavad
ja ehmeslindu elkivad,
siis töuse üles törjumata,
karga üles karjumata,
puhu tuli tulkimata,
aja ase aukumata.
Lippa läbi lehmalaudad,
tantsi läbi talleslaudad.
ENG:
Listen all, make room,
I want to teach my sister,
tell the youngster wise words.
If one’s to become a mistress,
she’s to forget dreaming,
only dream of sleeping,
sleep with a washcloth in one hand,
dream with a duster in the other.
When you hear the rooster crow
and the morning birds sing,
then don’t moan but wake up,
don’t complain but get up,
don’t lament but light the fire,
don’t bark but make the bed.
Run through the cowsheds,
dance through the sheep barns.

I love this album because it hops!
It makes me want to move and sing, whistle, hum, mutter, repeat happily... yes of course it makes me smile too.
Plus my son loves it and shared it with me. poetessnot
A hypnotic work that blends elements of psychedelia, post-rock, and Latin music, “En Otros Lugares” both lulls and mesmerizes. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2019
Suurepärane album täis ootamatuid teemamuudatusi, vahelduva taktimõõduga jalanõksutamisi ning mõtlemapanevaid maalilisi sõnumeid. Ei piisa ainult ühest kuulamisest. sinijarv
