Ikuisesti kahdestaan [English translation]

Voices of children echo from the neighbor next door

Here on our side the silence and longing grow year after year

Like ducks in a Stenvall1 painting

One of us is awake under the striped bed sheets

How long can we still go on imagining this lullaby?

When we are next to each other

You face me and cry

Why did it turn out like this?

How can I make you believe?

I'll be here forever

I love you

Even if it's just you and I forever

Our selective glances are noticed wherever we go

In ads and in the beautiful creations of god in the parks

Maybe it's our time is now, we're waiting here in this familiar hallway

Soon they'll invite us into the room, I wish they'll bless us with happiness

When we are next to each other

You face me and cry

Why did it turn out like this?

How can I make you believe?

I'll be here forever

I love you

Even if it's just you and I forever

I'll always stand by my love

At the Christmas dinner table I want to protect you

From the questions they pose that hurt us

When we are next to each other

You face me and cry

How did it turn out like this?

How can I make you believe?

I'll be here forever

I love you

Even if it's just you and I forever
