We have now a special request
Bouilliabai, bouilliabai, bouilliabai...
Stroganoff, bouilliabai
Here we go...
No, youd better leave the lights on, on stage
cause we have to read this music,
Weve never played it before
Aavan meren tuolla puolen jossakin on maa,
Missä onnen kaukorantaan laine liplattaa.
Missä kukat kauneimmat luo aina loistettaan,
Siellä huolet huomisen voi jäädä unholaan.
Oi jospa kerran sinne satumaahan käydä vois,
Niin sieltä koskaan lähtisi en linnun lailla pois.
Vaan siivetönnä en voi lentää vanki olen maan,
Vain aatoksin mi kauas entää sinne käydä saan.
Lennä laulu sinne missä siintää satumaa,
Sinne missä oma armain mua odottaa.
Lennä laulu sinne lailla linnun liitävän.
Kerro että aatoksissain on vain yksin hän.
Oi jospa kerran...
Translation of the first two finnish verses:
Theres a land beyond the vast sea
Where waves wash on the shores of happiness
Where beautiful flowers always blossom
Where worries of tomorrow can be forgotten
Oh if once I could go to that fairytale land
Never would I leave from there like a bird
But without wings I cannot fly, Im a prisoner of ground
Only in thoughts that reach so far can I ever there be

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Zappa began his musical career in the 1960s as the leader of The Mothers of Invention, with whom he released innovative and provocative albums that blended rock, jazz, classical music, and avant-garde. Known for his multi-instrumental talent, complex songwriting, and energetic performances, Zappa produced a vast discography of over 60 studio albums. Among his most representative tracks are "Purple Haze", "Peaches en Regalia" and "Billy the Mountain".
