Ukonlintu ja virvaliekki [English translation]
Ukonlintu ja virvaliekki [English translation]
Do you remember, Johanna, when after the pouring rain
I hung up my wet clothes on your bed's headboard?
You played the piano and sang
You made coffee the Parisian way
And when I opened a button of your skirt
You said: somebody is watching us
Watching us
You were a thunderbird, strange bird
From the fells of harsh Lapland
A Germanic queen
I was a lonely will-o'-the-wisp
A wild boy from Tavastia
And if I could do everything again
I would fall asleep in a rose bed
Do you remember, Johanna, when we tried to be silent?
Your brother slept behind the wall
A coal blazed against coal
Morning came carefully through the curtains
And before you left to meet your husband at the station
You said: somebody is always watching us
Watching us
You were a thunderbird, strange bird
From the fells of harsh Lapland
A Germanic queen
I was a lonely will-o'-the-wisp
A wild boy from Tavastia
And if I could do everything again
I would stay in that rose bed
Do you remember, Johanna, when I whispered quietly in your ear
Through a dream you answered with a strange language
I caressed your head and stayed up
You were a thunderbird, strange bird...
