Lumi teki enkelin eteiseen [English translation]

From the bridge the girl saw how black

the water was down there somewhere

Mama asked, "Why is it [she] scribbling poems?

The child must be out of out of [her] mind"

The girl cried for a while and looked behind her

The sigh of the city rang wild

How could I feel this as my own land?

The water was black as the time

And the water was black

Mama was wearing all her blacks

The pastor got to drink his coffee again

Papa was drunk,

how else?

Someone carried flowers to the doorway

Some go to the moon, some to Sweden

Some just get less salary

Papa, five years ago, went to Sweden

Mama was unhappy already then

I put a cardboard cover on the window

so that it would be warm at least somewhere

In the radio, they sang "Thank our God!"

On Sunday mama passed [slept] away, too

refrain:

And papa went to Sweden

Mama flew to heaven

The pastor got to drink his coffee again

[My] brother was drunk

I saw he had been crying

The snow made an angel in the doorway
