Harri's translation of a poem by the late Jari Mömmö. This piece took more time to record than any of the other ones.

Moments
Music by Pekka Okkonen
Lyrics by Harri Peltola
Original Lyrics by Jari Mömmö

In the cycles of time I have circled around
Moment by moment to where I am bound
Moments have I reflected from afar
Embraced them in my arms


Moments have been this life of mine
They glow and fade as time goes by
A step after step I’m advancing ahead
Hidden within me is each twinkling

In every fleeting moment I hear a music
Gentle and tender,
The song of life, a melodious whisper
In every fleeting moment I hear a music
Gentle and tender,
The song of life, a melodious whisper

At times I yearn for what’s lost in the past
Now I am what I am here at last
I have feared for our fate and the future of man
Shouldered them on my back

Each moment conveys me a quality
That existed not in my reality
Away they disperse these moments of mine
Mocking my attachments to time

Temporal things have filled my mind
With tears of joy and pain
From now on I must leave behind
My bonds of yesterday

In the process of growth
I shall find my way
Each moment is a new beginning
The break of day

Once in a while a moment is matchless
Then it is evening and an echoing silence
Once in a while a moment is matchless
Then it is morning and a dawning new day
