Murtumispiste [English translation]

If you were a song I would write you on my surface

Up my own side in melodies

Roaring *1 silently from beginning notes to end bars

From root to treetop, upwards to the skies*2

And if you were to disappear I would notate the heaven *2

Discords, mistunes *3

Pace mistakes, wrong melodies

non-erroneous is not perfection

If I was a tree I would bend against your voice

if nature would surrender up to breaking point

For a rupture in my trunk can grow to a stronger bond *4

, I could crack again and again

If you were a song I would write you far away from here

For other songs are far too loud

I would write the lyrics, arrange from first syllabus to last rhymes

Cleaner and more beautiful than other work

And if you were to disappear I could play you

Discords, mistunes

Pace mistakes, wrong melodies

non-erroneous is not perfection

If I was a tree I would bend against your voice

if nature would surrender up to breaking point

For a rupture in my trunk can grow to a stronger bond

, I could crack again and again

Like bonding point of a broken bone

a stronger fracture I grow *5

When I survive this, I take it upon myself and drink

I drink a toast of life

I drink

I drink

I drink and sing

If I was a tree I would bend against your voice

if nature would surrender up to breaking point

For a rupture in my trunk can grow to a stronger bond

, I could crack again and again

again

again
