Pappi puhuu [English translation]

You escorted your son

to a crowded train

stayed at the platform, heart

broken

you escorted your son

you didn't expect

it was his journeys

destination

You travelled in fog

a year or two

waited for letters

for nothing

and your mood changed

only worse

as you saw how

they mourn at neighbour

The sky is silent

the priest talks, although seen

for the silence

many can cry here

the sky is silent

it won't offer comfort

easen the desire

it won't share warmth

and the priest still talks

Your yard paces

the dark figure

which you expected

to arrive

your son fell

without regret

and by claimed

a place in heaven

The sky is silent

the priest talks, although seen

for the silence

many can cry here

the sky is silent

it won't offer comfort

easen the desire

it won't share warmth

and the priest still talks

Humble

the people are and they praise

a poor

harvest they reap

they mill

bread from bark

sermon

of tenuous they hear

Oh fatherland

the priest talks, although seen

for the insistence

many mothers grieve again

fatherland

you demand love

no Rokka nor Susi

can bullets harm

so the priest talks
