Murtunut elämä [English translation]

Who builds a castle from dreams,

there to the realm of the stars,

he also pays the price of his happiness

always gets to go astray.

Grief has now filled my chest

I lost all the best

Life was broken

when I was left alone,

rarely endless,

here is happiness,

I got to know that already

Why is it always so,

so as not to be able to rely on happiness,

if you rely on dreams,

you'll get disappointed

when you have no hope,

you cannot await grief,

nor produce distressing sorrow1

Lucky days are far away

Now I see the sky so gray

Traces remain of memories

of moments together with the beloved

Those that I did not want stayed.

One I know for sure

Broken wishes

Healed wounds

They are all that remains

of my happiness

everything else is gone

1. In our mini brainstorm, Fary has come up with "I guess it could also be understood like if you don't wish for anything, then you won't have to wait for grief and/or sorrow that would come when those wishes don't get fulfilled." This is the only message I really get out of the lyrics too.
