Anna ja merikarhu [English translation]

He is far away and missing me

he sails the ocean with his ship

towards the storms, through the dangerous waters

He promised to bring me something

a pearl necklace or an exotic parfume

but I don't care about those, as long as he comes home, please.

Every night I wait in the harbour and look at the sea

if a ship would arrive swaying to the horizon.

She's carrying my sailor on her deck.

Listen to me stars, stars stars,

Direct the ship to the home port.

I admit I am superstitious

I read the horoscope, I trust in destiny

If I walk under a ladder I'm afraid

that he will be in shipwreck.

You must not light a cigarette with a candle

you know that's foretelling the death of a sailor

I see omens where ever I turn my head

Every night I wait in the harbour and look at the sea...
