Taivaanääreläiset [English translation]

When you had said, what you said,

I heard

a thousand doors

inexorably slamming shut in the shady corridors.

When you had said,

what you said, I saw, in the curves of crossing roads

withering

a thousand signposts.

And you just blinked your eyes, looked away for a moment

when generations dies and cities crumbled.

Let the days withdraw and the moons pale,

let love last only

till morning

Let death shut the mouths of betrayers,

I don't believe in the love's

pale ghost.

When you had said what you said,

inside me died

a child that believed in an endless world.

When you had said what you said,

I was free to make my way here,

where everyone is alone with their fate.

From that day a piece of broken sky was left in your throat

and on your forehead a shard of moonlight,

from that day a dark wave of the sea was left in the corner of your eye,

and a wind's nest to be a dwelling for coldness.
