My tongue sticks(hangs) out of my mouth.

The ballerina is called(named) beautiful "rusa". I have no idea what rusa
means.

Quite right. This is spanish (or more properly castellano).

Literally: "The answers are always everything saying", one could say
"The answers always say something" or "The answers have always said
something". That's Dutch.

Right on the spot.
I always wondered if she is saying Bella rusa, Bellarusa, or
mispronouncing Bella rosa. If it is Bellarusa, then it cleary is her
name, while Bella rosa would mean "beautiful rose".
That's Italian ... and actually "rusa" could even mean something in one
of the many Italy's dialects.

Now if only somebody could tell me what the 24/48 in the title means!
BTW, if you have a Boss SE-70 you can get the same effect as Steve and
his Eventide by using chorus and pitch shifter. Quite neat. It's of the
songs I prefer playing ...

PS I'm surprised there was no French at all in there. His sound engineer
was French after all ...

*** I'll guess on this one; Dutch people... don't laugh! This looks like
Dutch, and only knowing a little German, my first impression was:
"The answers are older than ????"

Where's The KLF when you need them?

I KNOW the 24 refers to Christmas eve. But see, I left the CD at home
over spring break, and for some reason I thought it was 12/24. But I know
it refers to Xmas eve from an interview I read a long long time ago. The
beautiful rose bit is something Steve's grandmother used to say...

BTW good translation of the "Answers" thing.

I'm probably late to the party, but the official sheet music book has a translation for Answers by Steve Vai: "The track to this piece provides a more limber and light hearted approach for the accompanied pondering melody. "The answers are known at all times." " Apparently, the voice is that of Adrian Vandenberg.

I'm even later ...

The proper translation would be:

The answers are always already there.

Or,

The answers are always already present.

Doesn't mean that you would already know (or anyone would know) the answers, only that they are always already available.

The "official translation" you have provided would actually be a translation of "De antwoorden zijn te allen tijde bekend."
