Elämää [English translation]

Life, life, life,

it's just life.

Poor boy doesn't understand why girls won't accept his kisses.

Even tears won't help.

Girls can't abide

a boy who still believes in feelings,

though his dreams have faded away -

follies of modern times

or what ever diseases may they be.

One can't get drunk on life these days.

Follies of modern times,

we hardly consider the consequences,

however, I'll never throw my life away.

Life, life, life,

it's just life.

Poor boy doesn't know how to appeal to the feelings of a bank.

Even tears won't help.

One doesn't simply walk away with the money,

unless there are guarantors to sign the papers.

Futile dreams have faded away -

follies of modern times

or what ever diseases may they be.

One can't get drunk on life these days.

Follies of modern times,

we hardly consider the consequences,

however, I'll never throw my life away.

Life, life, life,

it's just life.
