Alina Orlova is a sprightly fox of a youth with a voice that melts moons. Her songs sound like "someone crying from behind a wall" though with enough intelligence to sink a battleship. Having found her band, Alina recorded her debut album Laukinis Šuo Dingo (The Wild Dog Dingo), illustrating three of its songs with her hauntingly whimsical and nouveau-fairy-folk styled visions. Alina writes mainly in Russian and Lithuanian (in case you wondered why you couldn't read her lyrics, don't worry, we'll fetch a translator as soon as we can). In the meantime, let her pictures speak volumes and guide you into enigmatic dream-scapes.
Lijo
Tavo akyse ganosi arkliukai,
Bet dangus jose visada apniukes.
Tu ?inai ?od?ius, jie nuo taves bega
Viskas panašu i ?aidima Lego.
Nes diena, kai tu gimei -
Lijo lijo lijo
Diena, kai tu gimei -
Lijo lijo lijo...
Lego iš voru,
Ant tualeto sienu
Iš aklu šunu
Ir pušu kamienu.
Menulis
O menulyje nera mokyklu
Ir menulyje nevyksta karas,
O menuly - daug valgyklu,
Kur nemokamos bandeles.
O menulyje gyvena elniai,
Ju nenumuša mašinos,
Kai jie ?iuri šitaip švelniai,
Net vaikams nera anginos.
?eme, Sukis Greitai
Tu gimei prasidejus nesibaigianciam karui,
Du?o kunai ir snigo lektuvu sparnais,
Nieks nesimelde Dievui, kuris emigravo
I kitokias Visatas su visais angelais.
Menulis
O menulyje nešlampa kojos
Ir menulyje nemiršta teciai,
Ten kiekvienas pats sau Nojus,
Ten visai nereikia skeciu.
menulyje yra drakonu,
Juos paglostyti gali,
Bet kodel, kodel gi, broli,
Tas menulis taip toli?
Lijo
Tu ?inai ?od?ius -
Jie tave kankina.
Einam prisigert
Pas mane balto vyno
Nes diena, kai tu gimei -
Lijo lijo lijo
Diena, kai tu gimei -
Lijo lijo lijo...
