Juhannus [English translation]

I crossed the mountains

There went the border

In the sky the night

Arrives slower

refrain:

I yearned for a while

And for another one

I cried for something, too

Maybe for general beauty

Maybe for an unexpectedly noble feeling

Above the metropolis

Rockets were lit

It was midsummer, you see

I cried again

I cried again

Maybe for the wooden boat burning on the shore

Maybe for the memory of a rainy midsummer

Lights down below

Others below them

Dinnertime

And some countries

refrain

I cried for something, too

Maybe for the distance to others

Maybe for the ridiculousness of the scale

Above the metropolis

Rockets were lit

It was midsummer, you see

I cried again

I cried again

Maybe for the wooden boat burning on the shore

Maybe for the memory of a rainy midsummer
