Sillanrakentaja [English translation]

Did I walk in vain those kilometers

which I wandered on your roads in my mind

and did I wait for nothing

when I was looking for a bridge

that would reach over the gorge

however

I wanted freedom, the glow of days

but I found a land that was grown cold with frost

It comes between us

and causes us to get lost in it

when the minds are trying to reach out for each other with words

refrain:

A bridgebuilder is the restlessness of mind

when daylight always flows away

A bridgebuilder is the enchantment of a tongue

and a promise travels across the bridge, if it just can

- it's impossible

Now the daylight fades away, longing is permitted

That star which circles its star

when seeks for brightness, the hunger for beauty

and finds only the misery of nights

and darkness

refrain 2x

- it's impossible
