Pahvinaamari [English translation]

Forcefully you invented your woman

just glued my face there

Called it love, persecuting

but I was nowhere there

I didn't stay and stand as your audience

even though I left, you kept on going

I still heard your voice long after

it was chatting to the cardboard mask

Your empty figure never fills up

maybe that's your mother there after all

Miserable or overwhelming

impossible to fill in the shape

It's clattering, hear now

reading poetry, yelling

Longing for the gazes of an admirer

It's clattering, mouth blaring

The moon of the streetlamp

shining on to every scene

I've already found a sanctuary

and you didn't disturb the peace of it

A long time ago I decided I'd stay with the one

whose eyes found the scared and lonely

past the walls

from behind the survivor's victories

And there you are moving on to the next one

going on like you always do

It's clattering, hear now

reading poetry, yelling

Longing for the gazes of an admirer

It's clattering, mouth blaring

The moon of the streetlamp

shining on to every scene

The next one is already flaring on the road

always a new face to glue on

accidentally stays to hear

your voice echoing in the night

Hear now, hear now

it keeps on going, keeps on going

into a long night

it's yelling, yelling
