Good GO Music for fun

General Go Discussion

I think the music talk for itself:

When I find myself in time trouble
20 second byo-yomi
There will be a throw in, tesuji…

For though I may be eyeless
There is still a chance for a seki
Fight until it’s yose, tesuji…

Tesuji, tesuji
Tesuji, tesuji
There will be a throw in, tesuji

I threw a stone on the board
took out a pro game record
All other studies ignored
And now I just wanna play

I read the capturing race
played one more stone just in case
Where’s a group I ca-an chase?
Oh! There’s one I can slay

My stones were glowing
Te-su-jis were flowing
Now my rank’s plateauing
How come it’s not growing, baby?

Hey, I’m a 1 kyu, and this is crazy
I wanna go pro, so teach me maybe
It’s hard to get past shodan, baby
But here’s my kifu, review it maybe?

Hey, I’m a 1 kyu, and this is crazy
I wanna go pro, so teach me maybe
Most corner problems do not faze me
But where’s the answer, tesuji maybe?

I took my time with the game
I still lost it, what a shame
I’ve got myself to blame, but that’s just how I play

Hane cut and extend
And weaknesses to-o mend
Many groups to a-attend, but that’s just how I play

My stones were glowing
Te-su-jis were flowing
Now my rank’s plateauing
How come it’s not growing, baby?

Hey, I’m a 1 kyu, and this is crazy
I wanna go pro, so teach me maybe
It’s hard to get past shodan, baby
But here’s my kifu, review it maybe

Hey, I’m a 1 kyu, and this is crazy
I wanna go pro, so teach me maybe
Most corner problems do not faze me
But where’s the answer, tesuji maybe

Before I came to Congress, I played go so bad
I played go so bad… I played go so, so bad
Before I came to Congress, I played go so bad
And you should know that… I played go so, so bad

It’s hard to get past shodan, baby
But here’s my kifu, review it maybe

Hey, I’m a 1 kyu, and this is crazy
I wanna go pro, so teach me maybe
Most corner problems do not faze me
But where’s the answer, tesuji maybe ?

Before I came to Congress, I played go so bad
I played go so bad… I played go so, so bad
Before I came to Congress, I played go so bad
And you should know that
So teach me maybe

If you know more, just share :slight_smile:

Not strictly Go related, but I find this music to be fitting for some of my games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY

Also, my girlfriend found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knMIJmGsTTU

Title is “Го Сэки это маленькая Жизнь Светлана Морозова Go Baduk Weiqi”
(Google translate says “Go Seki is a small life Svetlana Morozova Go Baduk Weiqi”?)

Source: "breakfast” (Alexander Dinerchtein 3p) on L19 : “Russian Go song”
All he translated there was “Seki is a small life. Small life in gote, but sometimes it’s possible to live in sente” which probably is the refrain.

Could and would anybody here translate the complete lyrics to English?

Enjoy, Tom
