Talvipuutarhaan [English translation]

At nights I may sit

and ponder lightly about

what you are up to

in strange countries

And I know I don't have it in me

to come back

But if you want to

after the winter

I can meet you up

And I will take to you to winter garden

or some place high

so that you will know

what flat land looks like

There I am from

There I will stay

But for a day or two

I will let everyone think

you are my lover

And when I walk you away

we still kiss a little

I wave my hand,

won't wait for a bus

I'll take the taxi to where everyone is

and they ask me

what I have on my neck

I won't be baffled

because I know that in a couple of days

it will be gone just as surely as you
