Sounds familiar but I don't know what it is

Translation herewith.


Doesn't help me but might mean something to you.


Dave


Don't say I'm a poor man

If you just want it

Tomorrow night the moon will lie at your feet

And if that's not enough

Then the university of astronomy

I'm going to study freely

The bouncing stars will tone you

Don't say I'm a poor man

If you only hint a little

You have a car in the door tomorrow night

And if that's not enough

Then I study to be a captain in a maritime school

I'm getting a foreign visa

The most beautiful flakes give you a tone


This is how life goes day by day

The starry sky remained sparse

The moon is down

Sawn into pieces

Darkness makes life hoarse


Don't say I'm a poor man

If you just want it

Tomorrow night my heart is in your hand

And if it doesn't work out yet

I'm going to study to be a surgeon right now

I gently split myself

Your inner beauty will tone you

This is how life goes day by day

The starry sky remained sparse

The moon is down

Sawn into pieces

Darkness makes life hoarse


This is how life goes day by day

The starry sky remained sparse

The moon is down

Sawn into pieces

Darkness makes life hoarse

Added to the site but still need to find the original release since that video is from 1978

Possibly recorded by Apelsin? The Estonian Wikipedia article seems to indicate that he was a member of that group and the video says "Mati Nuude ja Apelsin". A search on Discogs shows that song on a 1994 compilation album by the band as well.

Yes he was a member of the group Apelsin but their English Wikipedia page gives a discography (including individual tracks) which agrees with Discogs - four non-compilation LP's. But none of the four include that song.


A new one for you - also Merle Haggard and a video from 1979.


Sounds familiar but cannot place it.


Karaoke site does not help this time Grin

Not sure I can be much help here unfortunately. Merle Haggard was a prolific songwriter (BMI lists 432 works for him) and I'm not all that familiar with his material.
