Älä tyri nyt [English translation]

You can still take it for a while

this place, these people

REFRAIN:

Towering forest and vast fields,

the landscape elicits a fear of God

Here the skies are hanging ominously

over our heads

You're a young and restless heart

bored of this dead town

But if you stay patient

you will make it out to the world

Again a usual Friday night

the sounds of car racing echo from the city

a friend asks you to join for some partying

but you can skip the party today

You have a ticket to another world

as long as you stay focused for a moment

A fool would start finding trouble

This place is not your size

REFRAIN

Don't screw up now, don't go overboard

Don't give in to angst

Folks here have been stuck playing

with death for years now

Finish schools and get qualified

you won't be able blame it on drugs

that you couldn't stay disciplined

Although you can't stand your home now

go forward like a soldier

Options are few here

between a rock and a hard place

A light is shining at the end of the tunnel

hang on now, hold on to life

REFRAIN

Don't screw up now, don't go overboard

Don't give in to angst

Folks here have been stuck playing

with death for years now

Finish schools and get qualified

you won't be able blame it on drugs

that you couldn't stay disciplined

Although you can't stand your home now

go forward like a soldier
