Elegia
"Elegia" is a piece composed by Peter Hook, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner for the British rock band New Order. Unusually for New Order, it is an instrumental and a waltz. It can be found on their third studio album, Low-Life (1985). Elegia is Greek for elegy; the band have stated that the song was written in memory of Ian Curtis, lead singer of the band's former incarnation, Joy Division.
17-minute version
In 1993, drummer Stephen Morris stated in an interview with Select magazine that the album version of "Elegia" was a five-minute edit of a 17-and-a-half-minute recording. As the internet became widely available, a poor-quality mp3, allegedly of this recording, surfaced in the mid-90's. However, it was not until the release of the compilation boxset Retro in 2002 that the full recording officially saw the light of day. The song was used as the conclusion to the bonus fifth disc included with early releases of the set. The mp3 that found its way onto the internet did appear to be the same as the song later released. This version was also released on the 2008 Collector's Edition of Low-Life.

Elegia
by: NiskalaukausElegia
joi poika senkin kuukauden
ja aikaan kauniin aamunkoiton
hän kouristeli itkien
nyt viina veisi voiton
niin äiti saapui huoneeseen
valituksen kuullessaan
hän vaiti katsoi juoneeseen
kalmankalpeaan
veti verhot ikkunaan
ja otti tuolin alleen
kun poika yski
verta lattialle
mitään sanottavaa ollut ei
käsi tarttunut ei toiseen
äidin katse ulos vei
aamuaurinkoiseen
niin kului tunti, toinenkin
ja hiljeni sen pojan peti
ja äiti ylleen haalarin
ja saappaat jalkaan veti
yli pellon pahaisen
raahusti naapuritaloon
astui varoen
vähäiseen valoon...
ei kiire vaivannut kysyjää
vain yhdestä oli huoli:
"soittakaa kirkolle
kun poika äsken kuoli"
