Nem akarlak többé
Click to see the original lyrics (Finnish)Nem akarlak többé.
Most van ideje elindulni messzire.
A vonat ablakán a szemébe kinéztelek.
Nem akarnék élni többé.
Mint alváson át, a hangodat hallhatom.
A szemem előtt
az élet filmjét elsuhanni látom.
Nem látlak többé.
A vonat sodor engem messzire.
Mégis azt érzem, ahogyan velem szemben ülnél a padon.
Se felébredek ebből az alvásból,
se megérinthetlek téged kézzel többé.
És most ez minden, mit adtam neked,
hideg jég van.

Ladder to heaven
Versions: #1I'll play a trick on you and shit in the jacuzzi. With acts of terror such as these I will drive you insane as I set the IT equipment out of tune and feed the mobile phone to the dog.
Some look for ladders to heaven while others extinguish the sun. Some commit misdeeds while others decimate the jungle - whats left of it anyway.
If it was possible to observe humanity from some other star as it devours its own head, who then would weep crocodile tears?
The earth is a gift left to the children (sarcastic tone).
Some look for ladders to heaven while others extinguish the sun. Some commit misdeeds while others decimate the jungle - whats left of it anyway.
Now the only one grinning is a skull as it's unlikely that even the most pious daydreams will ever come true. The bones of the skeleton will become rat food and the last trees will be left to the birds.
Some look for ladders to heaven while others extinguish the sun. Some commit misdeeds while others decimate the jungle - whats left of it anyway.

Yellow Scarf
Versions: #1I'm watching the train as it leaves, and I still don't know
why you are leaving and which direction
You can take all hope from me as you go
Now that I'm keeping you safe from myself
How small did people seem
somewhere down there
I stayed there, sitting on the railing
You knew that I wouldn't jump
as I still hesitated for a while
I saw your scarf in the crowd
that yellow one
The world seems two beautiful from here
the lights of the city shine
Familiar fear fills my soul and my mind
Tonight I will jump after all
How small did people seem
somewhere down there
I stayed there, sitting on the railing
You knew that I wouldn't jump
as I still hesitated for a while
I saw your scarf in the crowd
How small did people seem
somewhere down there
I stayed there, sitting on the railing
You knew that I wouldn't jump
as I still hesitated for a while
I saw your scarf in the crowd
that yellow one

Västerås
As I, deep in thought, here on the ferrymade my way home on my mind
Now I am leaving Västerås behind
Where pancakes with apple sauce
And Koskenkorva were so good
Too drunk to drive home again
But do you remember the summer of ninety-five
When I came home from Västerås
It is hardest in the beginning
I made that clear to myself
When the tears in my eyes
Are a sign of love
I already see it, all I want to see
Too drunk to drive home again
But do you remember the summer of ninety-five
When I came home from Västerås
No but that devil was Åke Örjan
I cannot remember that anymore
I guess Gamla Stygan is still in its place
As it's called little shack
The green villa in summer strand

Under a Northern Sky
Versions: #1Father earned a paltry craftsman's wage...
It's a bluntness of the saw blade,
or a roughness of the smoothing plane?
Thoughts when waking boozed again
in a never-ending line.
Got beaten every Christmas.
Just averting death by sharpened knife.
A single kiss if not your wife,
you can join the host divine.
Under a northern sky we
barely got the basics seen to.
With alms from those perched highly,
made a couple humble dreams true.
Barefooted through an Africa of flames...
We finally surrendered
that drought-beleaguered place of birth.
fatigue-becloaked and rage-begirthed,
I led the tribe toward
a land of coruscating wonder,
where lakes abound, in winters freeze.
Time for someone else to please
the servants now in turn.
Under a northern sky we
barely got the basics seen to.
With alms from those perched highly,
made a couple humble dreams true.
Pith helmet will protect you from the glare...
A postcard with a picture
saying 'Greetings from the Andes peaks,
this man is wrecked and comfort seeks
off a young girl's loins.
If anyone could tell me
how thick it is, this ozone layer.
I'm losing both the fight and hair,
'Enjoy life!', Doc enjoins.'
Under a northern sky we
barely got the basics seen to.
With alms from those perched highly,
made a couple humble dreams true.

Boy named Päivi
Versions: #3I told it all in my letter
If I won't leave this place, I'm betraying myself
I went to see the world
The streets of this small town make me anxious
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours
I couldn't get any sleep at night
Just stared the ceiling until the morning came
People told me
'If you don't change, you'll end up in Hell'
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours
Let the people stare all they want
Though sometimes it feels so difficult
Friendship is a thing we share
Distance hurts in my soul
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours

Elina, what am I going to do
Versions: #3Ellu was a cashier
In that one cafe
We lived in its backroom for some time
I didn't get a job from anywhere
We stayed up all night together
I have no idea of what I'll do
I guess I'll send the kids to facility
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the mindless twist ease up just for a moment
We even tried to make ourselves believe that
We'd get an electric stove next to the freezer
When Ellu always cried during her worktime
She got fired from that
And we freezed in the hall of the ATM all night
She was probably pregnant again
I stole her a jacket from somewhere
I have no idea of what I'll do
I'm a prisoner of the circumstances
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the constant pressure ease up just for a moment
How many times do you have to get beaten up here
How quickly does all the money and reputation vanish
And Ellu was hit by a taxi
When turning left
It didn't use the turn signal, even though they claimed so
It was a humble funeral
I'd want the same kind for myself too
I have no idea of what I'll do
I'm numb with the feeling of pain
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the mindless twist ease up just for a moment
We even tried to make ourselves believe that
We'd get an electric stove next to the freezer
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the constant pressure ease up just for a moment
How many times do you have to get beaten up here
How quickly does all the money and reputation
Vanish
Elina, what am I going to do
Thanks for reading my translation! If you approve it, remember to leave thanks :) If you want to use my translation somewhere, ask for my permission and credit me wherever you use it.

On the way to Motown
Our mom is a restless ostrichWho does her chores
And in the sauna
She puts on herbal poultices
She feels adventurous and smells of sweat
Even though she's trapped at home
Free from pressures, cleaning agents
Can find Motown music
(Chorus:)
And the porridge scoop can be used as a meat mallet
And the twill tape can be used as spaghetti
The unwavering peace of mind remains
When you ignore the risks
A powder brush or a wet kiss
Sometimes smacks the cheek
While in the middle of cooking, throwing plates
There's an explosion in the kitchen
There's crying and sauce fluids
The chicken's scorched again
But smiling gently you can handle the situation
With a proverb
(Chorus)
You can use soap to decorate the cake
And everyone can die from food poisoning
And for desert you can lick the plates
To avoid doing dishes
Our mommy is a great mommy
Who does her chores
And in the sauna
She puts on herbal poultices
She feels adventurous and smells of sweat
Even though she's trapped at home
Free from pressures, cleaning agents
Can find Motown music
Motown music
A powder brush or a wet kiss
Sometimes smacks the cheek
While in the middle of cooking, throwing plates
There's an explosion in the kitchen
There's crying and sauce fluids
The chicken's scorched again
But smiling gently you can handle the situation
With a proverb
A proverb
Our mom is a restless ostrich
Who does her chores
And in the sauna
She puts on herbal poultices
She feels adventurous and smells of sweat
Even though she's trapped at home
Free from pressures, cleaning agents
Can find Motown music
Motown music

Kyllikki
Versions: #2You were my only friend
When we spent those summers together
You were my cat woman
You didn't want to be like the others
You didn't want the stars from the sky or the moon
You were so different
I've missed you, Kyllikki
As the winds of fate rock the wooden toy boat
You were bending over on the cover of a men's magazine
And they insult me at the bar, calling me a drunkard
You ran away to the city in secret
No longer answered my letters
I guess you found someone else
Somehow I ended up here too
And read everything about you on the papers
Now, I would no longer let you go
You were my only friend
When we spent the summers together
Now, I would no longer let you go
I've missed you, Kyllikki
As the winds of fate rock the wooden toy boat
You were bending over on the cover of a men's magazine
And they insult me at the bar, calling me a drunkard
I've missed you, Kyllikki
As the winds of fate rock the wooden toy boat
You were bending over on the cover of a men's magazine
And they insult me at the bar, calling me a drunkard

Daydream
I played with her almost all of my childhoodLike a daydream
A little girl next door put that make-up on me too
Like a daydream
Too much, would it be too much
Everything - not less
Far away, as far as needed
Looking at it, like closer
Home in the city and a summer cottage in the countryside
Like a daydream
No other thing here can be weighed with a scale
Than a daydream
Too much, would it be too much
Everything - not less
Far away, as far as needed
Looking at it, like closer
Oh, how thousands of millions of tinkling bells
Were jingling on her hips
Hay was waving and the smell of earth filled the air
The homestead’s fields were still full of grain
2018.11.28.
Shit for children
If you tell me where you’ll goAnd explain what you’ll do
What you’ll do, if love runs out here
So much to give
I share everything with you
Everything, completely
From head to toe
Or is the reason why you’re leaving
That the end is nearing
And they sell you a plane ticket to Venus
And is leaving
Just a trick that cowards do
I refuse to give up too early
I don’t know what to do
If the earth stays sound asleep
I don’t know where to go
If the earth drowns in a layer of shit
You can sleep overnight
Hide your softness under blankets
You can get truly angry
Shout your pain to the world
Or take up arms and shake your fist
Or swim in a flowing stream of tears
How brash and boastful the humankind has been
And how will it be rewarded
Destruction and tomorrow’s nightmare
And just a schorched land left

Anastasia
I could cover the walls of my room with your picturesYou are the woman in the dreams of men
Yet life treats us all with the same rules
even the face most beautiful will wither
Anastasia, you can hardly see
when the time...steals your beauty away
and the pictures old, will fade in the albums
not even one, resembles you
They said your eyes were like the stars
for your beauty, have many men fallen
so many young man saw only you in their dreams
yet the years didnt treat you as fair
Anastasia, you can hardly see
when the time...steals your beauty away
and the pictures old, will fade in the albums
not even one, resembles you
Anastasia, you can hardly see
when the time...steals your beauty away
and the pictures old, will fade in the albums
not even one, resembles you
I could cover the walls of my room with your pictures
You are the woman in the dreams of men
Yet life treats us all with the same rules
even the most beautiful face will wither
Anastasia, you can hardly see
when the time...steals your beauty away
and the pictures old, will fade in the albums
anyway
Anastasia, you can hardly see
when the time...steals your beauty away
and the pictures old, will fade in the albums
anyway

Burning Love
From these streets no one will find nothing but asphalt,If i'm leaving this place i'll take everthing with me and douse us in petrol,
I did not yearn for consolation, not even if i died.
I never yearned for others, beause i'll only have you.
I've tried to search for you. I've tried everything, everything.
These streets won't be constraining me, i finally realised that.
If you care for me, you'll never ask what i needed you for.
Remain silent in my arms as i'm lighting the petrol.
I did not yearn for consolation, not even if i died.
I never yearned for others, beause i'll only have you.
I've tried to search for you. I've tried everything, everything.
These streets won't be constraining me, i finally realised that.

What would i do with those
laaaa-aa laaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaLaaaa-aaa-aaa....
Lacking wisdom, i was left without love,
I don't know either, if this is life.
It is difficult to explain.
Why can't i be satisfied,
that i get to be lonely?
And live without wealth, (aa...)
dying without belongings.
What would i do with those?
What would i collect from here? (aaa...)
What would i need those for?
What would i do with those?
I'm content with so little,
i'm happy like this,
why would i ask for more?
It remains here anyway,
when i leave subsequently.
Why can't i be satisfied,
that i get to be lonely?
And live without wealth, (aa...)
dying without belongings.
What would i do with those? (what would i do with those)
What would i collect from here? (aaa...)
What would i need those for?
What would i do with those? (what would i do with those)
Many pretty women, many sophisticated men,
portraying as something else and deluding themselves.
And having no time to live.
Why can't i be satisfied,
that i get to be lonely?
And live without wealth, (aa...)
dying without belongings.
What would i do with those?
What would i collect from here? (aaa...)
What would i need those for?
What would i do with those?
I can live without wealth, (aaa...)
die without belongings,
what would i do with those,
what would i collect from here, (aaa...)
what would i need those for
what would i do with those-what would i
what would i-what would i-what would i-what would i-what would i?
laaaaa-a-a-a-a....
What would i do with those-what would i (laaaaa-a-a-a-a....)
what would i-what would i-what would i-what would i?
laaaaa-a-a-a-a....
What would i do with those? (laaaaa-a-a-a-a....)
What would i collect from here? (laaaaa-a-a-a-a....)
What would i need those for?
What would i do with those? (laaaaa-a-a-a-a....)
Uuuuu....
What would i do with those?

Don't cry Baby Jane
Looking across the street,i can see your room:
You're sitting in the dark listening cassettes,
or standing next to window looking for an escape.
I wish i could somehow comfort you,
when nightmares are keeping you awake,
the big bad wolf won't be catching you.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry Baby Jane.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry again.
The evil stepmother locks you in your room
and behind the door listens to your weeping,
they may regret when they learn you have escaped.
You're looking at me across the street, through the tears,
i don't even know your thoughts when i can't hear you,
when you're standing next to window looking for an escape.
Don't jump Baby Jane,
please don't jump Baby Jane.
Don't jump Baby Jane,
please don't jump down.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry Baby Jane.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry again.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry Baby Jane.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry again.
Don't jump Baby Jane,
please don't jump Baby Jane.
Don't jump Baby Jane,
please don't jump down.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry Baby Jane.
Don't cry Baby Jane,
please don't cry again.

Wonderfully said
What have I gotwhen we've fought pleasantly again till morning
And when the atmosphere is
as if a valuable load has fallen bitterly
So what can I do
when wounds have been torn open again and they can bleed
And what can you do
when we haven't properly talked but squirmed
(Chorus:)
Life is a long list of needs
Once and again it's filled with kisses
Life has been given for living
and that's wonderfully said
I barely believe it myself
if I only lie to you and pick a fight
Who have you trusted
when I've been missing once for a week
Chorus
(Wonderfully said) x4
What have I got
when we've fought pleasantly again till morning
And when the atmosphere is
as if a valuable load has fallen bitterly
Chorus x2
(Wondrfully said) x8

Rascal's humppa
As I open the door to the village barAnd find myself an empty chair
I hit them with the latest jokes
I won't cave in to pointless worries
(Chorus:)
Because I'm that kind of rascal
Charmer by nature and yo ho ho!
I don't waste my money, I'd rather drink them
And I yell to the girls: 'Yippee!'
'Yippee!'
I doubt I'd be the toughest guy in the village
If I didn't start drinking every now and then
When someone calls the cops during the evening
I'll ask a glass to be brought for him, too
Chorus (x2)
Pilsner never runs out
