Synkkien Laulujen Maa

The Land Of Dark Songs

As there isn't a lot of news at the moment,
i thought i'd post something about one of ville's side projects,
Ville apears on the (compilation) album Synkkien Laulujen Maa (The Land of Dark Songs)
which was released on November 22, 2006.

Ville’s songs are Kun minä kotaini läksin (When I Left My Home)
and Täällä Pohjantähden alla (Here Under The North Star).
You can hear samples here and here.

Ville and Kari Tapio


These songs were translated by GeminiGirl

Kari Tapio & Ville Valo - Täällä Pohjantähden alla (Here under the North Star)

Here under the North Star is our home now but there’s another home waiting for us beyond the stars.Here we live briefly like a flower, there we will rejoice forever like the angels. Here the heart is sighing and the eyes full of tears, there the heart is happy and the eyes shining with joy. On the wings of hope fly there my heart, for there is my home and there I want to be.

Ville Valo & Tommi Viksten - Kun minä kotoani läksin (When I left my Home)

When I left my home the clouds were gathering And the world offered me a destiny most bitter At the village dance I got to know a girl And I shall never forget her shining blue eyes My longing will grow no less here among strangers Until the dog rose grows on my grave.
