Minne paha haudattiin [English translation]

Breaks song and flees here

its weeping I hear from winds made into words

Churches, temples I built for it

Betrayed, suffered, shielded myself with lies

Did I really love, or just as in songs

making strength and will do for sensitivity

Silence did I take for speech

All I heard, even always things unsaid

Sought for direction directionless

Built a sand-castle on beaches of infinity

Where evil was buried

There bury me also

Don't go - now that it feels

worse - even worse than dying

in a nightmare - where there are no

good things - no good done to anyone

Now the skies shine of fire

water as bronze sloshes over deeps

air's smell anticipates autumn

the flight of swallows reminds me of winter

Behind the pneuma of life

is endless fear, that which drives the songster

Where evil was buried

There bury me also
