Joutsenlaulu [English translation]

You see children outside again

playing (their games) under your window

You stay still by the window again, you stay by the window(?)

You fly years back

Those memories get you in their hold every day

They search for a singer for the Swansong again, search for the singer again

When those moments from birth to death reflect to your eyelids

(It) makes others believe in God i guess, others in Satan, or anything

but not in this world

Once you found it too

That half - centuries love (?)

It was easy for you to be happy, to be happy

What you do with your instincts now

when birds have flown away from the nest

There's only photographs that have turned yellow anymore, you glance them through again, and again

You may not long for my pity, it won't make the pain numb

That pain writes this song, that pain can catch anyone

that pain catches

I see your sorrow veil, it got to breath five years ago

Swansong made you cry then, made you cry

I'd like to be like then, when you were covered by white veil

It's been stomped by the feet of time like you

I'd like to try, and that then i'll stay on the water's surface

When i see the river flood of it's channel, when i see the river flood

Those women in markets with their grocery carts, and men in their usual pubs(?)

(they) dream of the youth spring i guess, and the pain dilutes, or however

A moment closer death again, the pain never fades

That pain writes this song, that pain catches

Anyone, that pain catches anyone it wants
