I Found You

The rays of the morning sun dance in the blinds
And next to me purrs a drowsy cat
I have lost my keys and also my credit card
The whole wallet, and shoes and belt
 
But I found you
I found the Big Dipper and Cygnus 1 in the middle of the dark sky
I found you
I found many reasons to fall in love with the peculiar ailment of living
 
On a Sunday morning Helsinki 2 is slumberous
I, of course, don’t find coffee nor the radio
In the news they are looking for life in the galaxies
I have found it much closer
 
I found you
I found the Big Dipper and Cygnus in the middle of the dark sky
I found you
I found many reasons to fall in love with the peculiar ailment of living
 
I have looked for Eldorado, I have looked for a shoulder
I have looked in the wrong places for an honorable way out
I have looked for myself, I have looked for a touch
I have looked for a drop of expensive honey on the shores of space

I've wanted you

I've wanted you and your hoarse scream in the middle of the night when you wake up
I've wanted that mountain-breaking courage of yours
I've wanted your whole history, the pieces that you collect
To be the rock on the shore against your waves
 
I've wanted to examine the riverbeds and valleys of your curves carefully
I've wanted your books on the bedside table
I've wanted to learn your treasures so I'd have a job as your man
I've wanted the slowly waning youth of yours
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
I've wanted all your roles, wanted to nurse your bruises
and that lovely sneaking longing of yours on a summer night
I've wanted you when you get tired and wanted you when you're at your best
To always be the seal against your heart
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that

Eternal Narratives

When you look at me so, a little from below the corners1
And you pick your pashmina scarf up from the floor.
I remember the nights of the expanse, when we climbed
Up to the view tower and in there to the heavens.
 
Our one-room flat and a balcony, we fit in there well.
I took you to the city in 41.2
The days swam through the net, they go into the depths.
 
On top of shards we danced here.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.
 
And where is the heaven, how would I picture it.
It is, on top of a motorway, fiery red.
And I doubt I'll get anything along with me there.
Come closer, babe, now we'll dance.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.
Eternal narratives are told now.
 
Before and after us are the others
Of birds are heavy the trees.
Soon the yard will be desolate, please come to me today.
 
Even though the floor is slippery and sloped is the surface,
In pain there's a blessing, for the blessing a price.
And your smile in the doorway grown tired after the day.
Eternal narratives are told now.

• 1. I assumed that there's a comma like 'noin, vähän'. The meaning of the sentence changes if the comma is left out, but it didn't make as much sense.
• 2. Extremely unclear. Literally 'You in the morning I took 41 to the city' and the number 41 can mean the time xx:41, a town with the number 41 or the year 1941.

More Beautiful Than Anyone Else

This rainy year
Has been so long, hasn't it
I know that you've been
So lonely with me
 
But our sorrows have been talked away
Even our misunderstandings
Those doubts like
Jackdaws over the city
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
You are an expedition
That lasts for a lifetime
 
You are a secret
A thing that I investigate
Below the calm surface
Always something more
 
Below the calm surface
Always something more
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
You are an expedition
That lasts for a lifetime
 
I know the burden you carry
I know it even though I can't see
When your sky is darkening
Then I will come to you
Even as a tree in an icy park
If you need its protection
 
To me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
 
Because to me, you are more beautiful than anyone else
A theory my world is built on
A truth I'm looking for
A danger I won't avoid
A prayer that at night
Rises through the darkness
 

Bright Day

It was a bright and clear day
It could be in May
Nature would be birthing new life
And the mourners would wear
Something other than black
It wouldn't need to be that bleak
Friends would come to my mound
And they'd eat and remember me well
 
And the priest could tell a joke
That would describe me somehow
Maybe you'd give a speech
Where you'd tell how I loved you
Someone would sing, and through their tears
The crowd would burst into laughter
When Make would reminisce about our Nuorgam trip
They would all wish to console you
 
And closest friends
Could sit together late
The music of Hemilou Edu Kettunen
Would echo in the clear evening
And life would have to go on
Even if the longing would stay
And eventually you'd meet someone
Who could be almost like me
 

In chains with you

This evening the sun is heavy near the ground
On top of the house the weather vane is twisted with the heat
I won't waste be able to waste any more moments
I raise a white flag when war is on the loose
 
Have mercy on me one more time
This is for life
With you I would suffer if you still want me to
Have mercy on me one more time
I have learned so much:
That freedom is to end up in chains with you
 
With my tail between my legs I think about those days
That I mistook for freedom, I followed you astray
Now when I've already spent deep autumns away from you
I'm tired of pity, I'm disappointed in vanities
 
Have mercy on me one more time
This is for life
With you I would suffer if you still want me to
Have mercy on me one more time
I have learned so much:
That freedom is to end up in chains with you
 
Have mercy on me one more time
This is for life
With you I would suffer if you still want me to
Have mercy on me one more time
I have learned so much:
That freedom is to end up in chains with you

Right Here

The night goes on again
I can't be bothered to fall asleep
I stand up again
I open the door to the balcony
and stare at the air
 
Emotions are flooding again
and without asking,
I'm accompanied by them
You stand up to check on me
You say: 'In the morning everything will be easier'
 
What I get
I have to spend it
even my strength
 
That's why right here
although it's moaning inside me
everything seems to be the right way
when I get to lean on you
 
The work never seems to end
but I can't compete with
the speed of time
The years become older
but the child underneath them feels cold at times
 
I come beside you
I calm down, and silently
I follow you into your dream
 
Because right here
although it's moaning inside me
everything seems to be the right way
when I get to lean on you
 
Because right here
although it's moaning inside me
everything seems to be the right way
when I get to lean on you
 
And you know how little is required for me
to fall in pieces
But nevertheless
with the pieces I will end this day
 
Because right here
although it's moaning inside me
everything seems to be the right way
when I get to lean on you
 
Because right here
although it's moaning inside me
everything seems to be the right way
when I get to lean on you
 
I get to be
