Seasong for the Moominpappa |
Narrated: |
«There it is,"Moominmamma murmured. «That's where we’re going to live and lead |
a wonderful and troublesome life.» |
«What did you say?"asked Moomintroll. |
«That is where we’re going to live,"repeated Moominmamma. |
«That is Pappa’s island. |
Pappa is going to look after us.» |
Peaceful is the ocean, careful in the motion. |
A scent of salt and seaweed and of sand. |
The nature of the sea, the ebbing flooding dream, |
Wave after wave — this moment will prevail. |
Then suddenly some gulls rise from the point. |
The heather shows the weather. |
Still, the risky seasong takes you to the deeper waters. |
No sails has been seen to pass in four long dreary years. |
In any case, |
the lighthouse keeper is gone. |
A tiny rocky island, a waiting eerie silence — |
the lighthouse seems a lonely place to be. |
The lighthouse seems the only place |
to be for the family, to see for the family in the crystal ball. |
Now they miss the seasong. |
(The seasong takes them to the furthest island) |
Seems everybody’s in a hurry. |
So wouldn’t it be nice to set off worried! |
Worse things happen, happen at sea. |
Now is the moment to be listening to the |
seasong |
The boat was lying tied-up, bobbing up and down, upholding it’s good name: «The Adventure». |
Pattering on the jetty, the sun was in the setting. |
Moominpappa knew he had the course. |
He held the rudder tightly in his paws. |
The heather shows the weather and the risky seasong takes you out on deeper |
waters. |
Worse things Happen, happy weather, now is the moment to be listening to the |
seasong |
Ride on the swells, the white-flecked spindrift. |
Riding the waves, |
the cold spray flying. |
Wind, snapping sails, the call of sea birds. |
Listen friend! |
Can you hear the… was that a mermaid calling your name? |
Wasn’t that a crate of good strong whisky? |
Was all that piracy good living? |
Weigh anchor! |
Set the sails for… anywhere! |
Message in a bottle: |
«Come sail the seas, go fishing with me! |
Come sail to sea, go fishing with me!» |
Of course, you may think your ships are sturdy. |
