C'est presque au bout du monde Ma barque vagabonde Errante au gré de l'onde M'y conduisit un jour L'île est toute petite Mais la fée qui l'habite Gentiment nous invite A en faire le tour C'est le pays de nos désirs C'est le bonheur, c'est le plaisir C'est la terre où l'on quitte tous les soucis C'est, dans notre nuit, comme une éclaircie L'étoile qu'on suit C'est Youkali Et la vie nous entraîne Lassante, quotidienne Mais la pauvre âme humaine Cherchant partout l'oubli A pour quitter la terre Su trouver le mystère Où nos rêves se terrent En quelques Youkali... C'est le pays de nos désirs C'est le bonheur, c'est le plaisir C'est la terre où l'on quitte tous les soucis C'est, dans notre nuit, comme une éclaircie L'étoile qu'on suit C'est Youkali, c'est Youkali, c'est Youkali lost at sea, afloat, my wandering little boat, drifting with the waves, led me to a place. a tiny scrap of island, but the girl that lived there smiled and invited me to open my heart to youkali. youkali, the land of our desire and dreams, youkali, where everything is what it seems, youkali, a place where one can leave all cares and regrets, a star in the night, a path shining bright, a hope that we might find youkali. youkali, it is the home of all we hold in our prayers, youkali, it is the country of the love that we share, it's the hope that lives inside the heart of all mankind, the answer that we wait for 'til the end of time, youkali, the land of our desire and dreams, youkali, where everything is what it seems, but it isn't real, it's just a dream, it isn't there in youkali... we only see what we want to see, not really there in youkali... only weariness survives our cold and hardened lives, when hope has all but died, we still seek to forget, to leave our earthly sorrows, find solace in tomorrows, the mystery that enthralls those who search for youkali. youkali, the land of our desire and dreams, youkali, where everything is what it seems, youkali, a place where one can leave all cares and regrets, a star in the night, a path shining bright, a hope that we might find youkali. youkali, it is the home of all we hold in our prayers, youkali, it is the country of the love that we share, it's the hope that lives inside the heart of all mankind, the answer that we wait for 'til the end of time, youkali, the land of our desire and dreams, youkali, where everything is what it seems, but it isn't real, it's just a dream, it isn't there in youkali... but we only see what we want to see, it's not really there in youkali... translation by michele spadaro ©2000

about

Recorded in May 1994 with violinist Johnny Frigo in Chicago to 1 inch Reel tape. It was mixed and released as a cassette!

I managed to salvage the files recently, and we did the best that we could, getting the music off of that old tape. The performance by Johnny Frigo on the first 2 songs is incredible. Enjoy!
