Häikäisee [English translation]

Bloodthirsty monsters at my heels

And too long a way to my destination

I ran into someone who looked vaguely familiar

Was it you, when the ground gave in beneath my feet?

I best shield my eyes

The glare is so bright

I no longer want to run

and glance back behind me

Would you hold me for a moment

Sing a song

I no longer can get up

to fall back down again

We build a house by the river there

we lived happily

and were filled with love

The grass was green

and it never got dark

We sank our toes

into the sand by the river

I best shield my eyes

The glare is so bright

I no longer want to run

and glance back behind me

Would you hold me for a moment

Sing a song

I no longer can get up

to fall back down again

I best shield my eyes

The glare is so bright

I no longer want to run

and glance back behind me

Would you hold me for a moment

Sing a song

I no longer can get up

to fall back down again
