Vapaa [English translation]

I am tired of those

Powers that are controlling my life

That take away with them and make one fall in love with them

I don't know whether it's wrong

When I refused to die on my feet

Because that would have happened if I'd stayed stuck on yesterday

Someone held me right there

It was so awfully strong

And didn't want to let go

Almost like flesh and blood

Bigger mountains and seas

It grew into such in my head

I'm not waiting for a surprise

I'm not holding my breath

I want to leave all of it behind

My path has been run to its end

Brave I am not

Nor am I immortal

But I do know what my heart has known for so long

My path has been run to its end

I won't feel fear

Though I fear that it's not up to me

But I think that a human is stronger than it

I will let it perish

I won't give it any space to breathe

I do not, I do not owe it anything any longer

I'll build my home alone

I'll better myself alone

And force myself to stay together

I am not that pitiful rag

whose heart has been sucked dry

I won't build a room for it in my house

I'm not waiting for a surprise

I'm not holding my breath

I want to leave all of it behind

My path has been run to its end

Brave I am not

Nor am I immortal

But I do know what my heart has known for so long

My path has been run to its end

I chose to run

'Cause I thought I couldn't do anything else

I can't even recognise myself in that

That person was left behind in past times

I'm not waiting for a surprise

I'm not holding my breath

I want to leave all of it behind

My path has been run to its end

Brave I am not

Nor am I immortal

But I do know what my heart has known for so long

My path has been run to its end
