Scoundrel

If the boy has grown into a scoundrel
Is it any wonder
When you're born to poor parents
And your blood is dark and black
 
And we won't be tied with ropes
It's the irons 1 that jingle
And we won't be fed with sorrow
For joy keeps us alive
For joy keeps us alive
 
CHORUS:
In his youth a man mustn't be
Mournful
He must be merry
And wanton
 
And as I am so devilish
I get to mess around
And I grew up in such a house
That I have the nerve
That I have the nerve
 
CHORUS
 
CHORUS 2:
In his youth a man mustn't let himself
Be consumed by sorrow
Let the joy spark
Like sunlight through the clouds
 
In his youth a man mustn't show his sorrows
Live with a burning heart, not with sad eyes
Here my chest is kindled with joy and mirth
Which a mortal soul can't describe
 
CHORUS
 
CHORUS 2
 
Like sunlight through the clouds (4x)

Decorated Knife

Kaappoo of Ilkola house will no longer
Wander across Härmä 1
He made a young widow
Out of his bride in Murto
 
At the little Hirvelä cottage
Kaappoo was caught there
They say he slew
Antti Rauha of Hyyppä house
 
CHORUS:
And it jingles so sweetly my decorated knife 2
And the iron chimes softly
 
Into the ditch by Kangastupa pasture
Pine-Kustaa falls
In the feet of three rough boys
Ring the irons of the crown 3
 
Jussi of Porre house he says.
'Let's beat him with a fence stake
So Pine Kustaa won't need to
Suffer for long'
 
CHORUS.

Ice flowers

Let the walls crumble
Poor heart scream
Bring anything at all
 
I'll eat the words of promises
Year's first night
Everything starts over
 
I thought something like you
Would never exist here
Stars ignite tonight
In your eyes too one by one
 
Lips to your lips stick
Ice flowers in your eyelashes
You touch me so
Leaves marks in our hears
And you make me believe
Believe in anything
Make me do anything
But must not give up
 
All devils and angels
Fought in my head
You brought me back from far
 
I oath a heavy love
You told me I'd learn it too
You have time to teach
 
I believe something like you
Doesn't exist under this sky
 
I'll give my heart, I give
If you promise me
To never break it
 
Lips to your lips stick
Ice flowers in your eyelashes
You touch me so
Leaves marks in our hears
And you make me believe
Believe in anything
Make me do anything
But must not give up
 
I thought something like you
Would never exist here
I'll give my heart, I give
If you promise me to not return it
 
Lips to your lips stick
Ice flowers in your eyelashes
You touch me so
Leaves marks in our hears
And you make me believe
Believe in anything
Make me do anything
But must not give up
 

Burning water

I am alone in the world
Without you
And my heart closes down
Without you
You are soft, you are like
Flowing water
You leave a mark into me
Although my surface is hard
 
Is there love
Is there touch
That hones the surfaces of a rock
Is there burning water
Under which the heart feels, that
A rock in the heart is melting to the chest
 
Is there burning water
 
(Is there burning water)
 
Lights go on in windows
Without you
I walk not knowing to where
Without you
You are soft, you are like
Water, flowing
You easily show me that,
Which is of my own
 
Is there love
Is there touch
That hones the surfaces of a rock
Is there burning water
Under which the heart feels, that
A rock in the heart is melting to the chest
 
Is there burning water
 
Is there burning water
 
You make beautiful, you do
For me you really know, that you do
You make me strong, you do
You do the right way to me, you do the right way to me
 
You make beautiful, you do
For me you really know, that you do
You make me strong, you do
You do the right way to me, you do the right way to me
 
Is there love
Is there touch
That hones the surfaces of a rock
Is there burning water
Under which the heart feels, that
A rock in the heart is melting to the chest
 
Is there burning water
 
Is there burning water
 
Is there burning water
 

I see you everywhere

Still here, although I should be leaving already
Impossible, when you are near there
These poles are pulling together, what can you do
 
With the tip of a finger I row through your cheek
And I don't deny it, reason is far from this
But I let your hair down again
 
You always make me wake up, when you touch me
How this can happen every time
And still isn't so, that I stay
And still I can't leave
 
I like that, you don't close your eyes
There's tears in them, but you don't care
I'm as honest as well
 
We don't have anything that we should hide
Apologize for, promise or regret
These little moments, we receive the sunlight
 
You always make me wake up, when you touch me
How this can happen every time
And still isn't so, that I stay
And still I can't leave (x2)
 
And when I leave I see you everywhere (x4)
 

Let Scabbed Wounds Be

When fear sits at the end of the table
Whispering bitterness to you
And joy escapes from the window
To go party with someone else
 
When yesterday was heavy as lead
Rubbish that's being dragged
We all have our favourite wound
With which we fall in love with every day
 
Let scabbed wounds be
You can't rip them open
Humans are meant to live and die
To carry light and love
 
When tomorrow is a wildflower
Full of expectation
It rises from the ruins
Grows through the frozen ground
 
When joy sits at the end of the table
Sharing love to you
Fear escapes from the window
To sit at someone else's table
 
When tomorrow is a wildflower
Full of expectation
It rises from the ruins
Grows through the frozen ground
 

Boys Will Be Boys

Boys will be boys, they promise but they won't come
They say they love, they do whatever it takes
To get
A woman under them
 
They curse while they're drunk and disappear in the morning
Love is an ashtray, a heart that hungers
And won't get
Anything prettier
 
A man's life is beautiful and damn ugly
A perfect plan and a complete chance
A jack of all trades and a specialist
Knows his place from Ivalo to Hanko
 
Boys will be boys
God's rugs
They weave for women and leave them unfinished, delightfully neglected
Boys will be boys
God's chimed
Blue chords, deep vile melodies to women
 
Boys will be boys, they want to wrestle
And right away they're saying 'what's he looking at'
About a stranger
Who they can't recognize
 
Boys will be boys when the world burns
Secretly they desire to be on girls' laps
Again
To scorch it
 
A man's life is beautiful and damn ugly
A perfect plan and a complete chance
A jack of all trades and a specialist
Knows his place from Ivalo to Hanko
 
Boys will be boys
God's rugs
They weave for women and leave them unfinished, delightfully neglected
Boys will be boys
God's chimed
Blue chords, deep vile melodies to women

Requiem for Hintriikka Peltoniemi

There's a swamp, duckboards
They only way is the duckboards
And they take you to a small gray house
A small worry-gray house
The resident is gone
The house is barren and the wall
Will grow moss, away
They took Hintriikka Peltoniemi
 
She got poverty
Her part was poverty
As a guest at times probably frost
Probably frost
Now there is no more worry
The end of shortage and worries
Earthly troubles, away
They took Hintriikka Peltoniemi
 
And what a marvelous happiness it is
For Hintriikka
To hear once again
How they sing
So rarely from the there
The frozen swamp
A poor one has time to leave
Busy earning bread
Her mother brought
Hintriikka once
To get baptized
Already left far behind
Is playtime, as young woman into the church
A man took her
The beloved of Hintriikka Peltoniemi
 
Happiness doesn't live in the frozen swamp
Where a flower tends to die
Before its time
In the middle of its youth
So also came a day
When the bells rang for Hintriikka's spouse
A few moments
Her destiny was
The swamp and the gray small house
A small worry-gray house
The resident is gone
The house is barren and the wall
Will grow moss, away
They took Hintriikka Peltoniemi
 

I'm Not Afraid

I'm not afraid in front of this life
Even though it's slipping trough my fingers
Like sand it flies in the wind
I don't mind
I'm not afraid
 
Someday soil will swallow me
Sorrow will come and wrap your heart
In silk and you will miss me
Do me a favor then
Go somewhere high
 
Throw me in the wind
Bury me in the yard
Roses and boards
I'm not afraid
This is it
In the evening twilight
Sigh and remember me
I'm not afraid
 
I will always be your wing
I will swish as your plumage
Press your footprint on the yard
I will rasp under your shoe
 
The depression on our bed
Full of love of ours
Fill it with someone else
Let him walk
Trough our gate
 
Throw me in the wind
Bury me in the yard
Roses and boards
I'm not afraid
This is it
In the evening twilight
Sigh and remember me
I'm not afraid
 
I will hold your hand
When it's your time to leave
I will hold your hand
And I will be close
 
Throw me in the wind
Bury me in the yard
Roses and boards
I'm not afraid
This is it
In the evening twilight
Sigh and remember me
I'm not afraid
 

Chains of love

I spent this summer with you
We canoodled hand in hand
We were here day and night
I only saw you
My divine woman
Your devilish gaze
 
My word got derailed
When you enchanted me
I forgot everything
 
Your kisses made me become infatuated
That's how you ensnared me
Chains of love around my wrists
You took my last bit of sanity
One, free and crazy
Caused by your love
 
Then autumn came
I became despondent by your superiority
And you weren't here anymore
And I can't do anything about it
You made it all clear
I left, too, broke up
I know no one could compare to you
Even though I'd search, even though I'd want
 
Your kisses made me become infatuated
That's how you ensnared me
Chains of love around my wrists
You took my last bit of sanity
One, free and crazy
Caused by your love
 
Your kisses made me become infatuated
That's how you ensnared me
Chains of love around my wrists
You took my last bit of sanity
 
Your kisses made me become infatuated
That's how you ensnared me
Chains of love around my wrists
You took my last bit of sanity
One, free and crazy
Caused by your love
 

No One Will Feel Like You

There's already enough of these, old loves
And of those, every single one went wrong, at the time we swore
That our house can't be knocked down
 
Well, the weeping takes its time but you'll recover
I believe that the one will pop up from somewhere
Right when you aren't waiting for it
Right when you aren't waiting for it
 
Come to my arms now!
Hey baby, let's try!
If I am your new home, will you stay forever?
Come to my arms now
Hey baby, let's try!
I am sure that no one will ever feel like you!
Feel like you!
 
But would you forgive if I am a bit difficult?
Many have said that with me you get out of the frying pan, into the fire
And I admit that I have a windy mind
 
Would you have the same spark of temper?
Or from you, would I learn the peace I am dreaming of?
You would always silence me smiling
 
Come to my arms now!
Hey baby, let's try!
If I am your new home, will you stay forever?
Come to my arms now
Hey baby, let's try!
I am sure that no one will ever feel like you!
Feel like you!
 
You weren't yesterday, a redheaded girl
And you weren't after all the beautiful blue-eyed
Dear, I really hope that you would meet me at halfway
I would bring you home, this is not a coincidence!
Hey!
 
Come to my arms now!
Hey baby, let's try!
If I am your new home, will you stay forever?
Come to my arms now
Hey baby, let's try!
I am sure that no one will ever feel like you!
Feel like you!
