When you turned your head in class,
I saw your eyes, and immediately
I had changed place with Tauno.
After school at the café
the gang sat smoking,
and at the till gazes were exchanged.
This is so new,
my love, I know.
Also so deceiving,
but nevertheless, I endure it.
Oh Leila,
I see you in my dream on a meadow by my side.
Leila, touch my hand in the entrance,
so that I can know if you are real.
Mmm, they whisper on that side of the street,
look at that - I almost die.
Yet I carve your name in the linden.
This is so new,
my love, I know.
Also so deceiving,
but nevertheless, I endure it.
When I saw you with Reino,
how the winter stroke me from behind,
and the birds changed their direction forever.
Now I sit together with Tauno.
He knows without asking,
as I got completely drunk for the first time.
This is so new,
my love, I know.
Also so deceiving,
but nevertheless, I endure it.
