Gloria | DANCE OF LIFE

ACT II ~ Gloria

8. LINNAPEA

“Kokku, kokku, kooreke,
midadi-mädadi, männake!!

Kibadi-kobadi koku mingu,
midadi-mädadi, mättad tulgu,
Taevast tulgu, sisse mingu,
ümmer manna mitsa-matsa,
Leiva peale litsa-latsa, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Lastel lõbus tantsu lüla,
võid ja pehmet leiba süia,
ah, ah, ah, ah!”

Kokku, koorekene! from Tori, 1961

Minu linn on minu teater,
seda kõik te teadma peate.

Mis siin toimub, määran mina,
seda tunneb minu nina.

Kui ta teinekord on nohus,
võtab asja üle kohus.

Algab tants, siis lihtsast reeglist —
mina paistan igast peeglist.

Ja kui tantsite te tublilt,
mulle aplodeerib publik!

8. MAYOR

“Thicken, thicken precious cream,
splish-splash butter-whisk!

Clitter-clatter come together,
splish-splash, clumps must come,
Come from the sky, get in the butter,
round the whisk, squish-squash,
Onto the bread, split-splat, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Fun for the children to dance around,
while eating their fresh baked bread and butter,
Hah, hah, hah, hah!”

Kokku, koorekene! Thicken Precious Cream! from Tori, 1961

My own town is my own theatre,
That is all you need to know here.

I make all the big decisions,
My nose tells me your positions.

If my nose with a cold is fraught,
Matters then can end up in court.

Start the dance, a simple system —
My reflection in every rhythm.

And if your dancing’s fine and free,
The public credits it all to me!

9. ELU
Väärt tantsupartner küll, kes samme juhib,
kuid kus on õhin, tantsurõõm ja – tuhin?

Kus sellest puudu, astun mängu mina —
ja siis te alles näete pikka nina!

Ei maksa unustada seda ka,
et maksta võib,
kuid määrab muusika
see, mis ei allu inimtahtele,
ei mitte ühelegi tehtele.

Kuid tõsi — pärast seda avaldust
mus tõuseb tuju, trots ja tantsulust!

Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotensDomine Fili unigenite, Iesu Christe, Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis; qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus, Iesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.

9. LIFE
A worthy dance partner indeed, who leads the steps well,
but where’s all the joy, ardour and zeal of dance?

When I step in to the pattern myself —
Then what happens to you, you will see!

Remember that such living can be bought,
But music cannot —
it springs from another source,
Not subject to the human will,
Our manipulation cannot bring it birth.

Revelations like that leave me feeling
Defiant and joyful, ready for dance!

Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, We give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, heaveny King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only begotten son, Lord God, Lamb of God Lord God, you take away the sings of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
