Kerro terveiset lapsille [English translation]

After packing her suitcase

and taking a peek in the kids' room

she shuts the front door quietly, doesn't want to wake up anyone

Does it take courage? A large amount of bitterness anyway

to leave her husband and the children

and live a life of her own

And now that I leave at last

I do it for the sake of my heart

though it still pains me greatly

Your dear little missus

isn't coming back

I left the keys on the table with a letter

say hi to the kids for me

She leaves although doing so

her heart aches

The most important thing is to leave

she remembers hearing someone say

Standing under the express sign at the buss station

she wipes away a tear from the corner of her eye

without actually noticing

And now that I leave at last

I do it for the sake of my heart

though it still pains me greatly

Your dear little missus

isn't coming back

I left the keys on the table with a letter

say hi to the kids for me
