Mä elän [English translation]

It winds through my head from the sea towards inlands

What you left in me, I stayed to protect it

This morning I stopped at the traffic lights

I’ve never felt this alive, that I noticed

There’ll be a day that I die but every other day

I live

So much that I feel

I live

That belongs to me

Yeah I live

So much that I hurt

I live

My fear goes away

When I just live

This world has frightened me, the sorrow has been my cover

I’ve held on to you like a shadow attached to my heels

Now I want to dance until the morning and fall asleep in someone’s arms

I want to give and receive, I still want to love

There’ll be a day that I die but every other day

I live

So much that I feel

I live

That belongs to me

Yeah I live

So much that I hurt

I live

My fear goes away

When I just live

I won’t get anything back, all that I have left are dreams

At a row house’s terrace a railing to hold on to

I lean there against the wind, something has yielded

I’ll not go back to the past because now

I live

So much that I feel

I live

That belongs to me

Yeah I live

So much that I hurt

I live

My fear goes away

When I just live
