Hetken tie on kevyt [English translation]

I know you, my little sister,

Though we met not long ago

In so many faces before

You have lied next to me

Your messy hair on your breasts,

Early morning mist in your eyes

As if the dewy meadows of dream-valleys

had become flesh

When wandering alone through the night

One might find a kindred spirit,

And for a moment the road is easy to walk together

No distance, not even years,

Nothing can separate us

If I can hold you, just for a moment,

And forget

When in your dreams, my little sister

You sail on your moon-boat,

And with a morning star on your forehead

You walk the edges of the night

The rainy islands of the far west,

The cherry blossoms of Japan,

As well as south and north,

Everything is made for us

When wandering alone through the night

One might find a kindred spirit,

And for a moment the road is easy to walk together

No distance, not even years,

Nothing can separate us

If I can hold you, just for a moment,

And forget

Eternity, barely a sigh

One night is like a lifetime

Your fragrance is like a thousand springs

No distance, not even years,

Nothing can separate us

And for a moment the path is easy to walk together
