Polttaa [English translation]

All the songs that I've heard

All the books that I've read

Told of the love, whose

burning I felt inside

I felt in my mind and put into words

I'm burned by the words I could say

Burned by the words

Those words are unsaid

I'm burned by the words I wouldn't say otherwise1

I'm burned inside, but I'm wordless

I've never had anything in my armpit2

Anything better than my sweat

And there's no heart in front of you

No more timid one

I wrote a song to millions

Filled my drawer

Wrote to others about

how all that to you

is still left unsaid

I'm burned by the words I could say

Burned by the words

Those words are unsaid

I'm burned by the words I wouldn't say otherwise

I'm burned inside, but I'm wordless

I've never had anything in my armpit

Anything better than my sweat

And there's no heart in front of you

No more timid one

I'm burned by the words I could say

Burned by the words

Those words are unsaid

I'm burned by the words I wouldn't say otherwise

I'm burned inside, but I'm wordless

1. Pretty sure the original lyrics are actually "sanat joit' en sanoisi toisin" since as it is, they are entirely ungrammatical.2. In Finnish, 'to have something in your armpit' usually refers to hugging a loved one. A more idiomatic translation would be 'in my arms' but that wouldn't fit the following line.
