Merimiehen vaimo [English translation]

She just could not help herself

Allowed bitterness to take seed

It nested somewhere in her chest

As she never went to any school

She then had a lot of kids

As many as she has toes

Her heart would always crumple down

When departure drew near once again

But only the weak show their feelings

On the docks they wave

Everyone whose lot is to wait

The man was taken by the ship and cresting waves

Far from here and into warmth

The wife stayed to raise their kids

Years ate their trails onto her face

She was not always like she is now

So hateful and so old-fashioned

Now she only talks to walls alone

Cross-stitched pictures stare at her

As she shuffles through postcards

The kids never come to visit her

Left on the shore again

Still that holy wrath warms her heart

Oh how the years have passed since then

When the kids took her to the dock

And the ship came, but he never did

At the old hotel

In her bright blue dress

She had been doing her hair for an hour

In the attic room

He gives a long look

Walks up to her, asks for a dance

Says that every dance of the night

Is hers and hers alone

With red cheeks, she shakes her head

Makes note of every word

She is hesitant

While he is strong and determined

Takes whatever he desires

And now he desires the girl

Life is a reverie from a song

Prince of the seas and his kingdom

The orchestra plays

The violin's silence could not be sweeter

With firm grip he leads the dance

Takes care and never lets go

The hands still have strength and feeling

Old age is far and illness unknown
