Sadness plays with the black keys of the mind
even though it accidentally played a white one
With one mark I'll buy a guitar from the jukebox of the world
I hear the sound, the sound of it, it, it
no longer am I sad
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
A thousand gigs I already cheered up
in the backroom I tightened my string
Ever more tightly play as six
the strings of my guitar again and again
I broke one, soon another
yet I got to continue, the people, they just laughed
I got electricity for my electric guitar
just electricity, I need nothing more
I play the song to the end
above me the sky I'll make with its stars
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
So don't cry little girl in the corner of the bar
the playing of the guitar will give you its solace
It fills the space between the ears, there plays Juha Torvinen
plays by tapping partly
from the jukebox though, unfortunately
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
When the guitar plays, you can't cry
I got electricity for my electric guitar...
