Tähti [English translation]

You were a front seat boy

that always knew everything

others said, you will become

an engineer or an officer

And on every single Christmas and in springs

when you gave a speech and got a stipend1

you were sure that you'll become a star

And nowadays, even if you passed out to bushes

someone glues onto your body

takes pictures to her/his album and licks (your) ear

you've got a silver shirt, five guitars

you shout in the bar "hey, I'm living a dream"

you can drink beer2 to Suosikki's3 bill

You were a quiet boy

you never could think of anything to say

and when others told jokes

you caressed your dream alone

You wanted to get to the main stage in Provinssi4

and to Brodway in New York

you wer sure that you'll become a star

And nowadays, even if you passed out to bushes

someone glues onto your body

takes pictures to her/his album and licks (your) ear

you've got a silver shirt, five guitars

you shout in the bar "hey, I'm living a dream"

you can drink beer2 to Suosikki's3 bill
