ಸರಿಗಮ ಊದಲು ನೋಡಿದನು, ಗ, ಗ, ಗ, ಗ ಸದ್ದನು ಮಾಡಿದನು
ಬಣ್ಣವು ನೀರಿನ ಪಾಲಾಯ್ತು, ಬಣ್ಣದ ತುತ್ತೂರಿ ಬೋಳಾಯ್ತು
ತುತ್ತೂರಿ ಬಣ್ಣವು ಹಾಳಾಯ್ತು, ಜಂಭದ ಕೋಳಿಗೆ ಗೋಳಾಯ್ತು.
A colourful expensive trumpet, Kasturi bought
he played on it, sarigamapadanisa and sanidapamagarisa
that he has this trumpet, and no other does
he walked in the streets, proud and arrogant
he walked by the lake, playing the trumpet
the trumpet slipped from his hands and fell to the water
he now tried to play on it, it made gargling sounds
the colours were lost to the water, the trumpet looked bare
the trumpet, now sheenless, the arrogant boy, now trumpetless

Drainpipe flute by Sui
Traditional music of the Ainu people from the North of Japan. Among the most beautiful things I've listened to in my life. There's also a remix EP you should definitely check. Andi Otto
supported by 8 fans who also own “Flute Boy (Digital Bonus)”
Just like Alice in Wonderland, you go off the beaten track only to transcend into a different world and discover treasure. This hidden gem is true artistry! mhg_ntombela
