I will stay strong

Sata salamaa



Pimenee valkeat maat, laulupuut vaikenevat
Katujen lapset piiloutuu, kun rajuilma nousee
Pelätään pelkomme pois, mikään ei viedä mua vois
Kun rakkaus kiinni painautuu ja sydän lämpenee

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Ei rakkautta voi riistää multa, toivo jäljelle jää
Kun sata aurinkoo meille paistaa
Ja laiva valmis on nousemaan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden
Ja me löydämme uuden maan

Lähelläs lämpösi saan unelma uupuvan maan
Viimeinen haave viimalta yön meille suojan antaa
Totuuden toivossas nään liekin luot kuiskaten tään
Vain rakkaus meidät perille vie se meidät pelastaa

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Ei rakkautta voi riistää multa, toivo jäljelle jää
Kun sata aurinkoo meille paistaa
Ja laiva valmis on nousemaan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden
Ja me löydämme uuden maan

On tuolla tuhannet maailmat ja yksi niistä meidän on

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden
Ja me löydämme uuden maan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden
Vaihdan maan maahan valkeaan

One hundred lightnings

The white lands are getting darker, singing trees go silent
Children of the streets go into hiding when a storm is rising
Let's fear our fears away, nothing could take me away
When love sticks tightly to you and the heart gets warmer
Chorus
Though a hundred lightnings strike fire, and all of life explodes
Nobody can take love away from me, there's always hope
When a hundred suns shine on us
And a ship is ready to depart
I will take our love to a safe place
And we'll find a new land

I feel tenderness beside you, a dream of an exhausted land
The last dream gives us shelter from the wind of the night
I see the truth in your hope, you create a flame by whispering
Only love will take us there, it saves us

Chorus

There's a thousand worlds out there, and one of them is ours
Chorus
I will change this land to another white land

Blogging from Goa

Here I am in 30 plus degree heat, and blogging from Calangute beach in Goa well almost the beach,

Its been an interesting holiday so far, with me seeing the best and the worst of life in India


Have got some great motorcycle snaps, of people riding with no safety gear and in flip flops,

Managed to see the biggest temple complex in recent times at Akshardham on the banks of the Jamuna where the security is fierce , no cameras, no electronic equipment at all

Brother had to go back and deposit his usb flash memory in the cloakroom

We managed to bump in to the parents of someone I went to school with at the musical fountain show, and it was crowded that day so god knows how that coincidence came about literally

Attended a cousins wedding and enjoyed that, and have now come to goa to chill out and see what the life is like here.


Boy every third person is after flogging you something, be it a taxi or some awful handicraft that has been sitting in the sun.

Tourists are easy targets, Goa has a lovely beach and loads of Brits from Yorkshire of all places, are here


I feel right at home, but seriously on some fronts India has become more commercialised than ever before

There are big shopping malls with the same stuff you can buy in Britain albeit at some lowering of the price, but some things like bose are more expensive

Van heusen shirt? No problem will cost you 1800 rupees, about 20 quid or a bit more

Great India Place the biggest shopping mall in Asia, is on a par with some smaller shopping malls in britain its not quite the size of meadowhell yet
