Helsinki [English translation]

I write to you again, my friend

From our new home in the north of Helsinki

Anna's eyes warms each one of my nights

You know, she's the reason why I've left

Her love is pure like the sky of Helsinki

And I love her as the love of my life

It's good to read your letters, my friend, believe me

Because since you left it's getting colder and colder

As if the wind of Helsinki was blowing down here

The sound of your steps no longer echoes in my Parisian streets

Will I be one day as bold as to confess to you that I resent Anna

For being able to keep you

You alone, my friend, will understand what follows

How far away is Parais, I was leading my life astray

I miss you, I miss you

I haven't learned a thing

And I'm bored to death in the streets of Helsinki

I don't deserve Anna's heart in which I'm etched

Because I'm just a lure to run away

I am the king

It troubles to read those words, my friend

Because since you've left I felt like freezing to death

As if the wind of Helsinki was blowing down here

The sound of your steps no longer echoes in my Parisian streets

Will I be one day as bold as to confess to you that I resent Anna

For having been able to love you

My demons have been tracking me down

More than the cold, it's the fear that makes my blood run cold

Soon in the morning I will kiss Anna

And watch her sleep for the last time

With the shadow of what I am not

Because I'm coming back Paris

Because I'm coming home

It's so good to read those words, my friend

Because since you left

I felt like freezing to death

As if the wind of Helsinki was blowing down into my sheets

There's no train station for love, it takes its flight here and there

Will I one day be as bold as to confess to you that I hoping for this note

See you soon, my dear friend.
