Eilen kun mä tiennyt en [English translation]

Yesterday when I did not know

when I got to be young

akin to a dreaming child

I perhaps hoped

that life would be more beautiful

I tasted it on my lips

akin to taste of honey

With thousands of dreams

I flew to the clouds

I built on sand

when I did not know yet

what you expect from life does not always happen

those sandcastles cannot endure

if ground gives up from below.

Yesterday when I did not know

the world was so beautiful

I traversed singing

and once from my path

I could find love

I yielded to happiness

but I did not know it

When I hurried forward

I did not care

if I ended up in solitude once again

I only wanted tomorrow

Alone in my room

you finally realize

so dry your tears

the mouth does not laugh

Yesterday when I did not know

the world was so beautiful

I traversed singing

and once from my path

I could find love

I yielded to happiness

but I did not know it

When every day

brought upon a new friend

I did not refuse

I saw before me a life

now thinking otherwise

I gaze at tomorrow

but youth has gone by

I do not know what to do

Yesterday when I did not know

the world was so beautiful

I traversed singing

and once from my path

I could find love

I yielded to happiness

but I did not know it

When I hurried forward

I did not care

if I ended up in solitude once again

I only wanted tomorrow

Alone in my room

you finally realize

so dry your tears

the mouth does not laugh

The flames have died

those that I dreamt of

they have left

those that I loved

Time has come

to pay back yesterday

When I did not know yet
