Lumi teki enkelin eteiseen [English translation]

From the bridge the girl saw how dark

The water was down there somewhere

Mama asked, “Why’s she scribbling poems?

'guess the kid’s out of her mind”

The girl wept for a while and looked back –

The sigh of the city rang wild

How could one feel at home here?

The water was dark, as were the times

And the water was dark –

Mama was dressed in black

And the pastor got to drink coffee, too

And papa was drunk

Of course he was

Someone brought flowers to the entryway

Some leave for the Moon and others for Sweden

Others just have smaller salaries

Papa went to Sweden five years ago

Mama was already unhappy then

I put cardboard over the window

So that it’d be warm somewhere

“Praise the Lord!” They sang on the radio

On Sunday mama passed away, too

And papa went to Sweden

Mama flew to Heaven

And the pastor got to drink his coffee again

And brother was drunk

I saw him cry

The snow made an angel in the entryway
