This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

UNREST IN THE GALAXY

A love song set in a collapsing universe (Ain't they all?)

Lyrics:
The beautiful patina that you've left upon my life
You found me at my worst
But still, you became my wife
All the colors of our world
It's the vision in my heart
You see through alchemy of my disguises
And my restless anesthetizing

I've been dreaming in third person
Sun Ra is my cameraman
I've been contemplating the world
It gets darker as it worsens

I've been hallucinating in first-person
Narratives
I need your love
It's all I can give
While these nighttime stars are elapsing
Until the universe collapses
I need your love
Until the universe collapses...

(universe collapses with the recorded sounds of slaughtered dying whales, objects tearing, and chemicals dissolving)

Untitled Strange Love Song (Number 8)

Dear friends, we lived close to the Cherry Valley when we were young - and now we are going back!

Back to the Cherry Valley

We meet in the cherry valley clime where cherries bloom
there is grandfather and our dear grandmother too
the small kids are there , and also dogs who will find
that this place is full of joy
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

The path to this wonderful place on earth
is so tricky and hard and the old people need
all help they can get, we maybe put them in a wheel-
barrow for the tough transport
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

We will go there when the cherry trees bloom - - they are so cute
and the morning sun must shine and cast shadows that make
the view magical - - it is a wonderful moment
for the generations to meet 
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand


Lyrics in Swedish:
Tillbaka till Körsbärsdalen

Vi möts i körsbärsdalen där körsbär blommar
där finns farfar och vår kära mormor också
de små barnen är där, och även hundar som kommer att finna
att denna plats är full av glädje
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vägen till denna underbara plats på jorden
är så knepig och svår och de gamla behöver
all hjälp de kan få, vi kanske sätter dem i ett skott-
kärra för den tuffa transporten
Och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vi åker dit när körsbärsträden blommar - - de är så söta
och morgonsolen måste skina och kasta skuggor som gör
utsikten magisk - - det är ett underbart ögonblick
för generationerna att mötas
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik
