Tahdon elää [English translation]

Like a swift, lively river

I rush to the great depths of the sea

Like unharnessed water

I travel towards you boisterously

Like a fire's flame I travel

Removing all the obstacles in my path

I heat the branding iron until it glows

I’ll mark you as my own

(Chorus:)

I want to live

So that I won't have to regret when I'm old

I want to live

To find a wonderland in the end of the rainbow

I want to dance and sing

I want to cry and laugh

I want to live, I want to live

Like a crazy, carefree ghost

I wail alone in your attic

If your window is closed

I'll clatter it in a grim way

I'll squeeze the wind into my pocket, then I'll come

You can't confuse me with someone else

I'll take you to a wonderful adventure

In which even adults dream

(Chorus)

I want to live
