Päivän peili [English translation]

A new haze makes

everything stay in their place

Who would even need such a thing

that you would have to worry about

Today I think I'll make some more coffee

I'll put a white cloth on the table and catch my breath for a while

Today I'll remember to look in the mirror with a smile

today I'll remember...

The mind is elevated

by the slender trunks of the birch trees in the yard

How could I get rid of

the dark feelings of yesterday

But today I think I'll make some more coffee

I'll put a white cloth on the table and catch my breath for a while

Today I'll remember to look in the mirror with a smile

today I'll remember...

Tomorrow is once again

an odd-numbered day

The good and the best are hoped for

so that the mirrors would not start to grow dark

Every other day I make some more coffee

I'll put a white cloth on the table and catch my breath for a while

Every other day I look in the mirror with a smile

Every other day I can manage, every other I can't
