Muistatko Monrepos'n.

[ideanus]

Täydellistä.

[philmorrisshawca]

I have her singing this in the 50's and then in the 90's for this movie. What a beautiful voice and I think her voice in this song is better than ever, amazing song and artist, Mon Annikki Tahti.

[xAULISx]

Tulee kananlihat tästä versiosta. Kauneinta Suomalaista kulttuuria. Etenkin kun tietää mistä kappale kertoo. Menetetty Viipuri... :-(

[juffson]

Great song from a great movie, but it is not a tango ;)

[500313]

Finnish love tango!

[noself]

A perfect song from an excellent film.

[DC41ST]

One of my very favorite youtube videos. Thanks so much for sharing it!

[Lillikaarina]

Mun mummi lauloi tätä mulle, noin 50 vuotta sitten!

[proGoalie88]

Koettakaapa etsiä toinen yli 75-vuotias laulaja, joka kykenee näin tarkkaan sointujen naulitsemiseen. Annikki Tähdellä on aivan käsittämättömän hieno laulutaito.

[Muinaismuisto]

Mitä tarkoittaa "kuudan yöt"?

[jakroth]

Googlettamalla selvisi.

Tarkoittaa kuutamo yötä

[Illukka66]

Mietipä sitä! Se on jotain jokaislle! Mun kuudan yöt ovat täydellisiä!

i read somewhere that the actress was famous for singing this song in either the 50's or 60's ,and the director pulled her out of retirement to do this movie.the blonde salvation army, girl kati outinen is in most of kaurismaki's movies and is my favorite actress and this is my favorite movie.this final scene is quiet and resereved ,but i think it is one of the most romantic scenes ever. both characters maintain a quiet dignity throughout the movie that is beautiful

[princesslehaha]

That's pretty much it George... if you like her voice, check out one of her most famous songs called Balladi Olavinlinnasta. I like to think of it as the Finnish version of Long Black Veil... starcrossed lovers, and one of them gets buried alive in the wall of the castle of Olavi (which is actually a real castle in Finland).

[angerredfire]

I've watched this movie a couple of times, and I always looked forward to this part. Eventhough I don't understand what the lady is singing about, I simply love it.

[toivotalikka]

The song tells about her longing for and memories from the beautiful park Monrepos in Viipuri (Vyborg), the town on the Karelian Isthmus, ceded after the Winter War and the Continuation War to the Soviet Union.

[mrdammvan]

Monrepos was a manor house with beautiful gardens.

[MatiasHki]

magical

[galdur666]

[adebisiade]

Teija. Pelkäät turhaan. Usko minua.

[pawelmosiewicz]

Aki, You are the best film maker......

[picro11]

We are italian and visited Vyborg for the first time last week. We missed to visit Montrepos park, but the people in the boat on Saima, when we were sailing to Viipuri, were singing this song, and we watched this movie yesterday just to remember how it sounded like. Sad and enchanting, both the city and the movie! Kiitos!

Piero, Silvia

[dargomedo]

love this film!!

[kyrkoherdeFIN]

"Monrepos" is (was?) a park in the city of Viipuri, Finland (now - after World War II - Vyborg, Russia). The song gained popularity in Finland especially because the lost of Karelia and Viipuri was quite a big hit for the Finns.

[zidane5forever]

siis karjala... hemmetin russian federation.. fuck soviets! LOL

[kyrkoherdeFIN]

Memories of the most beautiful park/ the most wonderful Monrepos/ to my heart I've hidden forever/ Monrepos

My thoughts always raise/ the yearning for the land of my dreams/ I won't forget it/ it remains forever

[kyrkoherdeFIN]

Quite a harsh translation, but alright:

I remember the most beautiful park/ of the most wonderful Monrepos/ often in my dreams I go/ to the woods of my fairyland

Most beautiful arched bridges/ most wonderful nights/ I have seen in the shade of the park/ of Monrepos

Back to the past/ my mind wanders again/ moments of the past/ the wonderful story/ I still can reach

[RidzTakanashi]

Hi, I've posted the finnish lyrics, I don't have the english translation of it (sorry if that's what you want). I can't fully understand the language but her voice still reaches my heart and makes me comfortably nostalgic.

[zidane5forever]

lol nicely sayed

[RidzTakanashi]

Muistan puiston kaunehimman/ ihanimman Monrepos'n,/ usein haaveissani kuljen/ satumaani lehmustohon

Kaunehimmat kaarisillat,/ ihanimmat kuudanyöt/ nähnyt puiston katveessa oon/ Monrepos'n

Aikain menneitten taa/ aatos taas samoaa/ ajan sen mennehen,/ tarun ihmeellisen,/ voin vieläkin tavoittaa

Muistot puiston kaunehimman/ ihanimman Monrepos'n,/ iäks syömmeen kätkenyt oon/ Monrepos'n

Aatoksein aina saa/ kaipuun unteni maa,/ puisto rakkauden;/ sitä unhoita en,/ se säilyy aikojen taa

[faeydra]

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? I just adore this woman.

[zidane5forever]
