Ukonlintu ja virvaliekki [English translation]

Do you remember, Johanna, when after the pouring rain

I hung up my wet clothes on your bed's headboard?

You played the piano and sang

You made coffee the Parisian way

And when I opened a button of your skirt

You said: somebody is watching us

Watching us

You were a thunderbird, strange bird

From the fells of harsh Lapland

A Germanic queen

I was a lonely will-o'-the-wisp

A wild boy from Tavastia

And if I could do everything again

I would fall asleep in a rose bed

Do you remember, Johanna, when we tried to be silent?

Your brother slept behind the wall

A coal blazed against coal

Morning came carefully through the curtains

And before you left to meet your husband at the station

You said: somebody is always watching us

Watching us

You were a thunderbird, strange bird

From the fells of harsh Lapland

A Germanic queen

I was a lonely will-o'-the-wisp

A wild boy from Tavastia

And if I could do everything again

I would stay in that rose bed

Do you remember, Johanna, when I whispered quietly in your ear

Through a dream you answered with a strange language

I caressed your head and stayed up

You were a thunderbird, strange bird...
