Totuutta ja tehtävää [English translation]

For you I will stay

even though truth or dare

they are playing and the music is bad*

and the blond girl

has sneakers on her lap

I guess she thinks that she will get a man if she exercises

When everyone looked at me

I said I want to write poems

and you said 'oh that road is difficult'

At night the floor of the bar

is horribly sticky

and I'm feeling only miserable or wistful

refrain:

And the worst are the mornings

that won't seem to end

I'm always afraid that they will get me

and that's what happens in the end

Finally it's your turn

You want a job from somewhere

and maybe move to the country when retired

You look at me while you are speaking

We would be like the animals of the forest

At night we would watch the skies in silence

The blond girl gives a laugh

she touches you briefly

when I say I don't ever want a dayjob

She says: "The years are growing shorter

Be careful that everything won't pass you by

The dreams won't feed anyone every day"
