Valo yössä [English translation]

Glimmering on a cab

The lone sparkle of the night

Padded thwart in a nutboat1

Is waiting, I move on

Gloomy thoughts push through

Crude words mulling over the lie

Fat wallet

It's easy to seek2 for love

The beggar

Chilled by the frosty eyed glare

Lightscythes reap the houses

Hand is grasping for ferryman's cloak

I can't blame nor praise life

It can be left behind, I don't mind

From cradle to grave

Swims the relentless raft

Through a thousand beer joints

1. Nut, as in nuts and bolts. This term doesn't make any sense in Finnish either, but probably is referring to its hexagonal shape, the shape of a coffin.2. "pyytää" = e.g. "to ask for" or "to hunt"
