Tse ma oeyä eylan, oe nivew wivìntxu ayngaru mipa vurit, slä hasey ke soli tsar mi. Ha, oel ngolop tìralpengit tìrolä...

Spoiler: Song

Tortoise and the Hare-The Moody Blues

This song is interesting from more views:
- it is played by Moody Blues and I like their style and older songs
- if you read text of song, it is not clear what it is about until you read the title. Song is loosely based on Aesop's fable; hare ridicules a slow-moving tortoise and they compete in running. Hare is clearly winner, but as he is ahead in the race, he decides to take a rest and asleep. Meanwhile tortoise which goes without any pause slowly reaches finish line...
- first and second strophe seems to be written from perspective of tortoise, while third one from perspective of hare

1:
You know he's moving fast,
But he's still going slow,
He's ahead in the race,
And there is not far to go,
And your load is so heavy
And your legs want to rest.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

2:
You think he's way up in front
But he's so far behind.
He's asleep in the grass,
And he's run out of time.
While your load was so heavy
You never wanted to stop.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

3:
Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while
And while you were sleeping
He went on keeping the final line in his mind.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
3:
Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while

He went on keeping the final line in his mind.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right....

Ngal omum futa po rikx nìwin

Frawzo, frawzo, frawzo.

Frawzo, frawzo, frawzo.
