Rauli Padding Somerjoki composed this one in 1973 and wrote the text together with Arja Tiainen.
I played it with OM-size steel string acoustic guitar. It has been recorded in an one take after several tries :).

I've always been deeply moved by this song. I saw Neil Young play this on piano in Eugene Oregon 1999. 

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man
to the fields of green
And the homeland
we've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks
and the wagons come
And the night falls
on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box
at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug
and a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin'
on the fields of green
In the homeland
we've never seen.

And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome
and the first tepee
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.

Pocahontas (Neil Young Cover)

Vœux D'une Vie Sans Peine
---------------------------------------

Crois-tu vœux d’une vie sans peine
Et tue les élans de haine
Vœux pieux
Poursuis l’illusion pérenne
Qui luit dans ton voile indemne, obscène
Crois-tu ?

Vœux d’une vie sans peine
Vœux pieux
Vœux d’une vie sans peine
Crois-tu?
Vœux pieux Sans peine

Crois-tu vieux que tu te démènes « oh man »
Vers une vie nouvelle sans problème
Vœux pieux
Instruis de tes mille théorèmes et même
Emplis d’illusion sereine, bien vaine
Emplis
--
Casser ta vie quotidienne à peine
Aller par le chemin des bohèmes
Vœux pieux
Chargé décharger tes peines
Seras-tu vaincre, manier les rennes?
Seras-tu ?

Vœux d’une vie sans peine
Vœux pieux
Vœux d’une vie sans peine
Crois-tu?
Vœux pieux Sans peine

Crois-tu vœux d’une vie sans peine
Et tue les élans de haine
Vœux pieux
Poursuis l’illusion pérenne
Qui luit dans ton voile indemne, obscène
Crois-tu ?
--
Voeux pieux (crois-tu?)
Tu veux sans peine
Voeux pieux (crois-tu?)
Tu veux
Voeux pieux (crois-tu?)
Tu veux sans peine
Voeux pieux (crois-tu?)
Tu veux

I always love it when my good friend and bandmate Pat Howell sends me his latest mandolin musing, this time with his Octave.  His musing becomes my "muse" and the ideas start to flow, this time using two mandolins and two guitars.  Just in time for Fall, and maybe my favorite season, a refreshing breeze from the Texas Highlands.  Hear more fine music on Pat's Cloud @patrick-howell-786748109

Life may seem to lead along one road, however there are so many crossroads and points where the road deviates and takes us in a different direction. This song starts by identifiying that there is "One road out of Babylon". Later on the songs points out that there is "one more road" and possibly so many more.

Lyrics: 
“Well, there’s one road out of Babylon”,
the preacher said to me.
“Yeh there’s one road for the righteous
who can pay through purgatory.”

“There’s one road out of Babylon”,
well, I heard the preacher say.
“One road for the blameless,
I can show you the way.”

Some time we can cross the line
and feel we come apart
and sometime we can’t see the signs.
Life seems like an abstract art.

“One more road out of Babylon
for the blind and cannot see
and the road’s so dark to find your way,
it goes on endlessly.”

Outro
“One road out of Babylon
One road for you and me
One road out of Babylon
On road for you and me
One road for you and me.”
