Vattupuskassa [English translation]

You didn't get up from the bed

Many weeks passed

Rarely the sun shined inside through the window

It was autumn

I remember that you didn't

Smile when I carried leaves next to your bed

The days crawled

Very slowly

The north wind blew leaves away

Beside your bed

I pretended to be a hare

By bouncing I tried to make you laugh

[Chorus]

I hid in a raspberry bush

I hoped that god would have a cure

I got angry at school, in P.E. class

When the guys claimed that death leans on father

There wasn't a flag in the flagpole

Even though you had a birthday and guests came over

Mother combed your hair neatly

Asked the guests to come to the table to eat cake

[Chorus]

We didn't go to the countryside on weekends

A wave hit the drawings off the dock

I watched news when Sirkus Finlandia

Ended their tour on Auroran kenttä

I hid in a raspberry bush

I hoped that fear would go away or even further away

You didn't get up from the bed

Many weeks passed

The house stood quietly, the ground started to freeze

[Chorus]

I hid in a raspberry bush
