Tomorrow - orig. "Huomenna"
Beyond the river I carry a heavy burden
Feeling the wind carrying the scenery
Hoping the burden will get lighter tomorrow
You won't guess or open my memories
Remembering only the picture of me from the past
Cold is your picture of me
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Illusion, my sweet illusion
When I look, when I look at you
I hope my mind calms down tomorrow
The end is the end, and will always be too far to reach
I stumble powerless along the river bank
You squeeze my hand with love, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
My Darkest Dear (The Joy of Life) - orig. "Elämäniloa"
My dear, my darkest dear, the bottle sends the bill
You pay the whole weight, twisting the cap with care
Weighing perhaps 40 kilos of your joy of life
You scratch in delirium the softness of your flesh
On the wrong path, following fairytales
Only to bow your head in the morning light of lost dreams
Touching only scars, for love won’t ever reach you
Please offer some peace, before the last call
To my darkest dear, his spirit to find rest
Closed to the world, maybe in jest, on the brink of death
The Giant - orig. "Jättiläinen"
Big eyes, head like Hard Haid Moe
Counts his fingers and toes while dancing
Crazy and ancient though aching inside
Singing songs about jolly fools,
Hearses and flower herbs
About the living and the dead
Won't ever hurt you, or lose out on life
The gigantic giant
Beard growing inches every hour,
Until it reaches his toes
Smells like sweat and old booze
This starry-eyed bouyant giant
Yes, he sings songs
About the unfortunate ones,
Forest fairies and the gnomes
About the living and the dead
Won't ever hurt you, or lose out on life
The gigantic giant
Hair growing out of ears,
Every hour until the singing stops
Licks his beard and braids it like a funny looking bow
Now is the Time - orig. "Aika on"
Now is the time, time must stop
For the time of burning has begun
Burning all that has come and gone
Now is the time, the time of burning has begun
Now is the time, time must stop
For nostalgia, there is no time
So cremate the old, off your shoulders shake the dust
Now is the time, for the time of burning has begun
Hell won’t answer if you call for advice
And our earthly powers have no grace
Heaven won’t ever make your skin look nice
You’ve got only one good choice
Now is the time, for time must stop
In sanctuary I listen, and find my way to the limitless
Forgetting is the only thing that comes for free
Now is the time, for the time of burning has begun
Chemical People - orig. "Kemikaalikansa"
Women talking dirty
Male eyes licking their bodies
The foolish, forever in need,
and never will it change, not even for money
Their glances won't ever dishearten us
And wicked words will never sting us
But this life just feels so fucking tough to me,
And never will I get any wiser, not even with a shot of booze
Useless to you is my nagging
But I understand where we are heading
My paycheck pours from the local tap
And hangovers treated with Cipralex
Perhaps tomorrow
The hands start to shake
Through chemicals
The commoners kept on a leash
It may be possible that ugly is beautiful
The optimist's gift-list reads
peace and love in chaos
Useless to you is my nagging
But I understand where we are heading
My paycheck pours from the local tap
And hangovers treated with Cipralex
Perhaps tomorrow
The hands start to shake
Through chemicals
The commoners kept on a leash
Perhaps tomorrow
The hands start to shake
Through chemicals
The commoners kept on a leash
I don’t mind - orig. "En välitä"
I don't mind where this day leads
I won't argue where you bring me today
Hey, hey, did you hear that restless tune?
‘Cause I don't mind, i don’t mind.
I wander my feet out of sync
I want to dance i want to dance with you.
Hey, hey, did you hear that sorrowful tune?
‘Cause I don't mind, I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
Into Black - orig. "Into Black"
Into black, but not dark,
Tranquil water I descend
Into torment, but not hatred
Tranquil water I descend
Surrendering only to tears
But not to mourning
From my beloved one, I keep a secret
Descending to tears in the end
Dancing in the night,
Embracing in the dawn
Dancing in the night,
Embracing in the dawn
Into black, but not dark,
Tranquil water I descend
Into torment, but not hatred,
Tranquil water I descend
Quiet - orig. "Aivan hiljaa"
The night consumes you quietly
The moon paints a shadow and I watch
I watch this and stay awake, far too long
Wasting myself over a thought of a her, far too long
I cross my fingers, I cross everything, quietly
The days turn their backs, afraid of the night
I dwell on this and stay awake far too long
´ Wasting the budding of life, far too long
The night consumes me quietly
Remembering the face of my guardian whispering quietly
Watching this all, and staying awake far too long
Watching this all, and staying awake far too long
The Material of Emotion - orig. "Tunteen materia"
Into tomorrow, fear shall subside for the moment
Worries shall be gone at my request
Worries shall be gone at my request
So I wish in secret
Return to childhood, again and again
Return to these worn dreams of mine
Time disappears unnoticeably
Time shall be gone at my request
Stars shall be gone at my request
Yes, this is certain
Stronger than bone is the material of emotion
Even bigger dreams burning in the sky above
Words won't ever comfort the reason of cuckolds
Yes, this is certain
Stronger than bone is the material of emotion
Even bigger dreams burning in the sky above
To My Brother - orig. "To my brother"
You will no longer have to carry lies, to my brother
You will not ever be beside me singing, to my brother
No sighing anymore, no returning anymore
You lie with no pain, no longing for life, to my brother
From your sick bones, your spirit ascends to my brother
You will not ever be beside me singing, to my brother
No sighing anymore, no returning anymore
