Lumi teki enkelin eteiseen [English translation]

The girl saw from the bridge how black

The water was down there somewhere...

Her mother asked: Why does she write poetry?

The child must be touched in the head...

The girl cried for a moment and looked behind her

The city's sigh sounded wild...

How could you recognize this as your own land?

The water was black, like the times....

And the water was black

Mom walked around in black

And the priest got to have some coffee

And dad was drunk

What else

Someone brought flowers into the hall

Others go to the moon and others go to Sweden

Others just get less pay

Dad left for Sweden five years ago

Mom was unhappy even then

I put a sheet of cardboard on the window

So that it would at least be warm somewhere

On the radio they sang: Thank God,

On Sunday mom passed away too

refrain:

And dad went to Sweden

Mom flew up to heaven

And the priest got to have some coffee

And (my) borther was drunk

I could tell he'd been crying

The snow made an angel in the hall

refrain
