Ilves [English translation]

He was named "Ilves" in school

Because he always weared a hat with the hockey team's name on it*

He red the Herra Huu books on the break

Wasn't from the same tree than the rest of us

When the captains were sharing teams

He was the one staying alone in the edge of the field

Always the last one to be picked

Always the last one to be passed the ball

The serious boy in the class photo

I pitied the odd thing

Sometimes invited him over to play Nintendo

The cigarette smoked by his parents smelled in his clothes

His dad sometimes hit him when he was drunk

I borrowed him my comic books

He recorded me Priest and Maiden

My friends laughed when they noticed him

They said "oh so you got a pet lynx"

The serious boy in the class photo

The serious boy in the class photo

When I saw Ilves for the last time

His glare told me that the winds have gotten stronger

When I saw Ilves for the last time

He said that the only thing we're gonna leave here are our tracks in the snow

Some people belong to the heroes naturally

To the student body presidents

And freaks are the different ones

The ones that will never be anything

The popular boys that the world was sugar-coated to

Became pieces of the cogwheels to machinery

But Ilves who was just air

Will be the one remembered from us

The serious boy in the class photo

The serious boy in the class photo

When I saw Ilves for the last time

His glare told me that the winds have gotten stronger

When I saw Ilves for the last time

He said that the only thing we're gonna leave here are our tracks in the snow

Ten years went by

A newspaper headline said that Ilves is number one

He sang the whole Finland to their knees

To every lonely heart

Girls yelled: "We love you"

When Ilves walked from the backstage

And from the balcony of the hotel

He spred his arms and stepped to heaven

The serious boy in the frontpage

The serious boy in the frontpage

When I saw Ilves for the last time

His glare told me that the winds have gotten stronger

When I saw Ilves for the last time

He said that the only thing we're gonna leave here are our tracks in the snow

The only thing we're gonna leave here are our tracks in the snow
