Musta, niljaisten lehtien kaupunki [English translation]

An afternoon in December:

a window the size of a wall

separated us from

the slow snowflakes

in the park, where the lights were lit

Outside, still scattered there were

the rocks torn from the street

when we built battlefront lines

Now their ruins

are smoothened

Snow covered our bad sides

The thirst for power, the selfishness

The black city with slimy leaves

became white and

made us glitter for a while

The air was full of cigarette smoke

and for once everyone agreed

about the ending of the movie

and the benefits we had achieved

Peace upon earth is like snow

People who know

too well the bad things others have done

Are ultimately

similar everywhere

Peace upon earth is like snow

Snow covered our bad sides

The thirst for power, the selfishness

The black city with slimy leaves

became white and

made us glitter for a while
