Tuonelan koivut [English translation]

I am getting lost into this road's emptiness,midst the tall houses

Which are rising high as homes of the images of God

Those who drank from the spring of youth,who built up a paradise

But they didn't find a human there

But a long,painful death

Streams a tear,streams another

Water is streaming from eyes on and on

From chest to hems,from hems to river and from river to a lake

The lake is as deep as the blackest sorrow

Black like the night sky is dark

The birches of the underworld, without leaves, are whispering names of the two of us

I am wandering in unfamiliar landscape,hoping

Tired I take a rest in the shade of the birches of the underworld

Won't you say something,do something,so I might wake up

Roads of the underworld,from its fields shall I get back my life

Streams a tear,streams another

Water is streaming from eyes on and on

From chest to hems,from hems to river and from river to a lake

The lake is as deep as the blackest sorrow

Black like the night sky is dark

The birches of the underworld, without leaves, are whispering names of the two of us
