Curly Strings – Kauges Kulas English Lyrics

Estonian

In a distant village

Kauges külas vanaema juures
elasin kord kogu suve.
Vanaema ja mu armas vanaisa.
Aga noorel neiul neist ei piisa.

Jooksen randa, koduküla randa,
et saada pruuniks teiseks juuniks,
Võtan kaasa reketid ja maki,
kuid rannas on vaid üks võrku paikav papi.

Siin kauges külas teisi näinud pole veel,
tühi rand ja nõmmeliivatee.

Siin ei ole pangaautomaati,
On vaid naati, palju naati.
Pole noori, pole ühtki poodi.
Miski pole, linna moodi.

Jooksen randa, koduküla randa,
et saada pruuniks teiseks juuniks.
Siis on pidu, teise küla pidu.
Seal on noored, teised noored.

Siin kauges külas teisi näinud pole veel,
tühi rand ja nõmmeliivatee.

Korraks vaatan seljataha veel,
tühi rand ja nõmmeliivatee.
Korraks vaatan seljataha veel,
tühi rand ja nõmmeliivatee.

In a distant village

In a distant village at grandmother’s place
I once lived for all the summer.
Grandmother and my dear grandfather
but for a young maiden they are not enough.

I run to the beach, to the beach of home-village
to become tanned for the 2nd of June.
I take rackets and tape-player with me
but there is just some grandpa at the beach, repairing his nets.

In this distant village I haven’t seen others yet,
empty beach and wild thyme.1

There is no ATM here,
only goutweed, lots of goutweed.
There are no youngsters, not one shop.
Nothing is like the town.

I run to the beach, to the beach of home-village
to become tanned for the 2nd of June.
Then there is a party, the party of the neighbouring village.
There are youngsters, other youngsters.

In this distant village I haven’t seen others yet,
empty beach and wild thyme.

Just for once I look back.
The empty beach and wild thyme.
Just for once I look back.
The empty beach and wild thyme.
