Häkkilintu [English translation]

Cage was closed, we believed

That in it's cover, behind iron lock

You can hide happiness

Behind heavy gates

We took the love

I still heard how groves in wind

ring, so quietly ring

But only about their chains can a cage bird sing

Yes they get peace,

but freedom can never my bird get

Can never get freedom

Once I prayed if nevertheless my nature

I would get back and I could conquer the skies

Sometimes it goes as wished

and golden cage is opened

From you I flew to freedom, off to freedom

Because only about their chains can a cage bird sing

Yes they get peace, but freedom

my bird can never get

Can never get freedom

On windowsill I stay in wind

In warmth of stove I see you sleeping

Hear me ask, oh come to me

Stars from sky can't be seen from your cage

Because only about their chains can a cage bird sing

Yes they get peace, but freedom can my bird never get

Can never get freedom
