Katupölyä [English translation]

The spring means nights spent awake

The spring means mornings too bright

that cannot be escaped even inside.

And neither can the thoughts in your mind.

The spring means weathers slightly warmer

melting the gray snow.

Unearthing all the things

thrown away on the fly.

When everything was right

When you waited for me at the station.

When there were tracks left of us

on the blacktop covered by first snow.

Again, there's street dust

left floating in the air for that day.

Again, there's street dust rising

numbing my mind

If only the rain came

washing away the city

washing away even the memories of you

then perhaps it were easier to move on.

The spring is an ache that is felt

when you remember having lost

something you already imagined to be yours for a while

When you trust in tomorrow

you see them gone.

The spring is ice that breaks

that no longer supports the earth but fades away

And then when you fall

you remember it all.

I remember when everything was right

When you waited for me at the station

I remember when there were tracks left of us

on the blacktop covered by first snow.

Again, street dust in the air...

As long as the spring lasts

As long as there's stabbing pain in the heart

And you won't be there to greet me

As long as the spring lasts

As long as there's stabbing pain in the heart

I must go on

Again, street dust in the air...

Again, street dust in the air...
