Merimiehen vaimo [English translation]

She couldn't help herself

the seed of bitterness got to grow

made a nest to her chest somewhere

When she never went to schools

Made lots of kids then

as many as she has toes

Always her heart collapsed

when moment of leaving got closer

but only weak people show their feelings

They wave at the docks

all of those whose part is to wait

to wait

Laiva miestä vei, ja vaahtopäät

kauas täältä pois ja lämpimään

Vaimo jäi ja kaitsi lapsiaan

vuodet kasvoihin söi polkujaan

She wasn't always like this

angry and old fashioned

Only talks to the walls now

embroidery pictures stare

when she looks through her postcards

Kids never visit

Even though she's left on the land again

that holy anger warms her chest

how the years have gone past of it

when she took kids to the dock

and the ship came, the man did not

no

At the sociaty house

in her bright blue dress

She has put her hair for an hour

in her room in the attic

Man looks for a long time

walks to her and asks her for a dance

Says, that evening's every dance

only she'll get

With red cheeks she shakes her head

puts every word in her mind

is hesitating

the man is strong, determined

takes what he wants

and now he wants the girl

Life is a song's dream

a prince of seas and the kingdom

Orchestra plays

the violin can't go silent more beautifully

the man spins the girl with strong grip

cares, and never lets go

in his hands is still power, feeling

Oldness is a far away strange illness
