Tuhlaajapoika [English translation]

When i see the road in the corner of my house

I always prefer to turn my gaze away

Or shutting my eyes

Did i have to go away

In search of a distant star

From suburban slum

How could he return to his home right now

The prodigal son is not hugged for nothing right now

The scenery is getting more familiar already

The house is no longer visible from the road

it's already decaying

Maybe that's what they're thinking at the central hospital

When my confirmation school picture in the plastic frame

Doesn't resemble me

How could he return to his home right now

The prodigal son is not hugged for nothing right now

I stop the car at crossroads

And pondering what am i doing here

Many would agree to that

When we used to go fishing at the pier

We dug the worms from the dirt for a fishing rod

Next to this entry gate

How could he return to his home right now

The prodigal son is not hugged for nothing right now
