Miten valmiiksi tullaan [English translation]

How to become complete when

the life is too frightening?

Could someone wiser explain, why

I cry when I could laugh.

For fear of failure I give up before I even start.

The uncertainty of the future makes me miss the past.

In a crowd I try to sing

words that are too touching.

Bless mother, bless father,

now I understand better why such words are sung.

How to become gentle to one another

if beautiful words have been forgotten?

How do I notice when I change

if there's no-one to act as my mirror?

One can dream about love but a coward achieves nothing.

I should dare to be present and get hurt sometimes.

In a crowd I try to sing

words that are too touching.

Bless mother, bless father,

now I understand better why such words are sung.
