Poika nimeltä Päivi [English translation]

I made it clear in my letter to you,

”If I don't go, I fool myself.”

I went traveling around the world,

As the provincial streets haunt me.

I was a boy called Päivi,

Not knowing if I was a Romeo or a Juliet.

I was a boy called Päivi,

Just willing to kiss the painted lips of yours.

I could not fall asleep at night,

So until the twilight I stared at the ceiling.

It was the people who told me,

”If you don't change, you might end up in Hell.”

I was a boy called Päivi,

Not knowing if I was a Romeo or a Juliet.

I was a boy called Päivi,

Just willing to kiss the painted lips of yours.

So let the people just stare,

Even though it is so hard sometimes.

It's friendship that unites us –

it's distance that makes the soul ache.

I was a boy called Päivi,

Not knowing if I was a Romeo or a Juliet.

I was a boy called Päivi,

Just willing to kiss the painted lips of yours.
