Etsijät [English translation]

I saw from far away when he arrived

beside my door

and hitched his horse on my wooden rail

He didn't come in

just looked from there

when I retrieved his clothes into the hallway

He said

Life is short

and I haven't found

what I'm looking for

He had thirsty eyes

and even though I saw it

I took him beside me in my life

and standing there I heard

as the prairie called him

further to south

Life is short

and he hadn't yet found

what he was looking for

Before he mounted his horse

he laid a hand on my cheek

and asked, oh girl, will you wait for me?

and although my heart still hoped

my sense predicted: there's still someone

without someone like me

I said

Life is short

and I cannot wait

the day is setting soon, go now!

So he went and took his love

far away with him

under his chest to a bigger world

I swept the porch and left the door open

for another, a new searcher

who already misses home

I think

Life is short

but has anyone yet still found

what they've been looking for?
