Hautojen yli [English translation]

The water was clear

and the water was deep

when you touched the bottom,

for a moment, it was good.

I got a pike

you cut out its heart

when I made fish soup,

everything was ruined

There were too many onions,

there were too few graves,

the speed was too high,

you slowed down the pace

The dock rotted

voles procreated underground

the handle came off in a hand

Finland lost on television

You slowed down the pace

you slowed down the pace

you slowed down the pace

I drove down the road

I drove away

I drove at 200 kph

to Joensuu square

At the square is a crowd

at the square is a band

in the night, you dream

of a boat tour

In the morning you watch

the opposite shore

our tent

has been left under the power station

You slow down the pace

you slow town the pace

you slow down the pace

I drive down the motorway

and at the end, off of it

before I make a circle

in Joensuu Square

You still slow down

you cut the onions

you cry for the market

you once left

I drive recklessly to the south

I drive faster

I drive over 200 kph

into the wall of Stockmann

And I leave the Saab

and you put down the knife

I run over the graves

I run to the seashore

to the Tallinn ferry

to the sun deck

you fall asleep, I rise

to the white rail

The water was clear

and the water was deep

when you touched the bottom,

for a moment, it was good
