Hevosella Helsinkiin [English translation]

You passed me by on a village street

and said only,

"Hello lad, hello."

We courted all summer

but as I hesitated to propose

autumn took you away.

When in August it was time for you to leave

we kissed on the bus stop

and I promised fervently

to come on horseback to Helsinki.

What I didn't understand back then

is that I'll never find you in here.

Everything has gone wrong.

I can't recall your address

and these Helsinkians laugh at

my horse eating oats

and me eating a pie.

No-one here knows you

but I so want to find you

for as promised, I came on horseback to Helsinki.

What I didn't understand back then

is that I'll never find you in here.
