The Guests of Honor got presented with the traditional filk songs at the Saturday party.
Peter Watts: Starfish
tune: Yellow submarine
Not the life that we all know,
to different world we will embark.
And the key to all this change
it’s a woman, named Leanie Clarke
So we dive down to the Rift
many thousand miles beneath the sea
And we live beneath the waves
In the station we call Beebe.
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
Our colleagues are all such bores
Although some of them now live outdoors
All of us are quite insane… (horn section)
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
As we live right on the Throat
In the darkness where fishes glow
Bulkhead grinds and Rift blows steam
In our paradise beneath the sea
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
We all live in abyss beneath the sea,
abyss beneath the sea, abyss beneath the sea
Aliette de Bodard
tune: Alouette
Aliette, gentille Aliette,
Aliette, tout le monde vous aime,
Aliette, gentille Aliette,
Aliette, tout le monde vous aime!
Vous enchantez le coeur,
Vous enchantez la tete.
Et le coeur, et la tete,
Aliette, Aliette.
O-o-o-o-oh
Aliette, gentille Aliette,
Aliette, tout le monde vous aime!
Aliette, charming Aliette,
Aliette, you give birth to worlds.
Aliette, charming Aliette,
Aliette, you give birth to worlds.
Jaguar and butterfly,
living spaceships with a Mind,
worlds that we can’t forget,
Aliette, Aliette.
O-o-o-o-oh
Aliette, charming Aliette,
Aliette, you give birth to worlds!
Kielien taituri – J. Pekka Mäkelälle
sävel: C.M.Bellman, Nu skrufva fiolen, Fredmanin Epistola nr 2
Nyt soittaja kitaras kieliä kiristä!
Tunnet soittimen, itse teit kai sen,
ja musiikki on tuttu.
Siis kaikilla kielilläs mieliä piristä!
Tunnet sävelen, taidat kielen sen
ja aina luistaa juttu.
Valmiina, lukijat! tien näytät avaruuteen
taas sukeltaa me saamme kirjaan uuteen.
On kieliltä käännetty pitkän pitkä lista,
näin nauttia saa fandom suomennoksista.
En vastustaa voi tätä ihmeen tuntua,
tähtihuntua kun saan katsella
tai tehdä aikamatkan!
Sun kielesi kumpuaa jostakin syvältä
sydämessä se tuntuu hyvältä,
siks lukemista jatkan.
Kun metsä leviää yl’ moottoriteiden,
ja siivottu on jäljet sankareiden,
on aika taas palata meren planeetalle.
Ja aika laulaa filkki on JiiPekalle!
Stefan Ekman: Opposing forces
tune: Mamma Mia!
I’ve read fantasy books since I don’t know when
getting into their worlds time and time again
Sometimes it feels they’re not credible,
all these ordeals, but the world itself makes no sense
It is all just a big pretense.
Give me realistic worlds with two sides
Not just good or bad but let me decide, w-o-o-o-oh
Opposing forces, urban fantasies
My my, how can I resist you?
Opposing forces, in best fantasies
My my, just how much I miss you!
Yes, I’ve read crappy fiction
Where there is no conviction
Why, why are there no more things unseen?
Opposing forces, in best fantasies,
Oh oh, help me shape realities.
