Valo yössä [English translation]

Flashing on the roof of the taxi

The only spot of light in the night

The padded bench of the nut-boat awaits (Nut as in hardware, nut & bolt. The nut-boat is a metaphor for the taxi.)

I'm going

Blurry thoughts force their way through

Crude words repeat lies

A thick wallet

It's easy to ask for love

The beggar

Is chilled by the cold glow of frosty eyes (I'm not sure "himerrys" is even a real word. Cold glow is the best translation I can come up with.)

The scythes of light cut down houses

The hand reaches for the ferryman's cape

I can not blame life, nor thank it

I'll leave it behind

I don't care

From the cradle to the grave (literally: from the womb to the grave)

The tireless ferry swims

Through a thousand pubs
