Kepeitä multia [English translation]

You think that death lurks behind the sauna

Sorrows supposedly weigh on the shoulders

You think that you were dealt the worst hand in the game

and the old man 'Devil' owns your life

Light soil, tears

It's a world full of disappointed people

Light soil, tears

You receive and you share it with us all1

and this whole nation urges2

Light soil, tears!

The door of the maidservant-girl's granary is locked to you

The windows and the doors blocked

You say that even our smile congeals

when the state takes away3 the holes from (our) bread, too

Light soil, tears

It's a world full of disappointed people

Light soil, tears

You receive and you share it with us all

and this whole nation urges

Light soil, tears

It's a world full of lost people

Light soil, tears

You receive and you share it with us all

and this whole nation urges

Light soil, tears!

1. perhaps it could mean also 'You shall and you do share it...'2. could also mean 'curses', (and since the devil is mentioned above 'exorcises'); I'm not sure what exactly is meant here3. or 'steals'
