Joutsenlaulu [English translation]

Again the children on your yard you see

under your window playing their games

In your window again in your place you stay, there in the window you stay

You fly away back the years

Those memories daily get a hold of you

They're again looking for a singer for the swan song, they're again looking for a singer

Those moments from birth to death that are being projected on the eyelids

Make some believe maybe in God, some in Satan, or in whatever

But not in this world

You also once got to find

That half-a-century lasting love

It was easy for you to be happy, to be happy

Now what will you do with your instincts

When the bird have long flown away from the nest

There are only the photographs turned yellow, you go through them again, and again

You probably don't need my pity, it doesn't make the pain go away

That pain writes this song That pain can catch anyone

That pain will catch

Your veil of sorrow I see, five years ago it got to breath

The swan song made you cry then, made you cry

You would like to be like back then, when you were all veiled in white

It's been all left in time, as are you

(solo)

I would like to try to be left on the surface of the water

When I see the river overflowing, the river overflowing

Those women in the market with their carts and the men in their pubs

Dreaming of the source of youth I guess, and the pain languishes, or whatever

Again a moment closer to death, the pain never fades

That pain writes this song, that pain can catch anyone

Anyone, that pain will catch anyone it wants
