Autumn of memories

It went too far without a noise
Seeing the season off alone
Anxiety tears overflow. I'm eighteen
 
Warm, though reticent
The farewell words of who I was waiting for
Hold my heart. Soon I'll be nineteen
 
Me who gets moved to tears, I became an autumn shaking its heart
Youth breaks, one gets hurt by loving
Youth is forgotten, one notices it since it's gone
 
Impulsively for the first time
That man who kissed me
Said 'sorry' and nothing more. We don't talk
 
The day before the graduation ceremony
He came to talk to my heart
He saw my worried face and shrug his shoulders
 
Everyone were passing by. You'll never come here
Youth breaks, one gets hurt by loving
Youth is forgotten, one notices it since it's gone
 
While I drink alone a black tea
I write a postcard
Are you all fine?
Let's meet someday
 
I think of the talks of the innocent spring
The jokes of the happy summer
And the things that made us roll over laughing, on an autumn day

I'm drawing you

There is a fountain and a square opposite the window.
You come here alone again.
In this window your image looks like a picture in a frame.
I'm drawing you again.
And I'm drawing me next to you
Because I don't want you to be alone.
 
I'm drawing, I'm drawing you, I'm drawing you
Sitting next to the window.
I miss, I miss you.
I wish you could know that.
All the walls in my apartment are covered with pictures of you.
I can't live a day without you.
You're looking at me happily or gently,
You're looking at me from each picture.
May the years keep your image.
Now you're with me forever.
Forever.
 
You'll understand everything when you see my apartment
Where I'm always with you.
The pictures of you are
On every wall there.
And every picture
Is my declaration of love for you...
 
I'm drawing, I'm drawing you, I'm drawing you
Sitting next to the window.
I miss, I miss you.
I wish you could know that.
All the walls in my apartment are covered with pictures of you.
I can't live a day without you.
You're looking at me happily or gently,
You're looking at me from each picture.
May the years keep your image.
Now you're with me forever.
Forever.
 

Rose of Versailles.

If a nameless flower bloomed in the forest,
I wish you could stand still in the wind.
I was born as a rose.
I live in passion and splendor and then I hide it.
Roses, roses are noble,
Roses are beautiful.
Roses, roses are noble,
Roses are beautiful.
 
A fragrant flower without a breath of wind
A beautiful flower sticking out
It's not lonely to be alone.
A joyous rose
Oskar, born as a rose.
I'm going to live in passion and glamour.
Rose, roses are blooming.
Roses, roses are pure.
Roses, roses are blooming.
Roses, roses are pure.
 

Taking too long

We were able to talk about everything, everything
But everything was about love, we forgot everything
In a letter, in a text message, in a song I wrote
I will do everything for you and I am living for your love
And I got that love, and often in excess
You could leave the thresholds of life to me
I saw those girls hating, because I had my superhero
You had told your friends about me too often
Now we are staring together at the table with mouths closed
With looks that speak for themselves in our faces
I have done the bulk of everything myself
But I am driving too long in this tunnel and I do not see any light
So close your eyes for our last set
And think back to the small house with the small bed
Shit ... but tomorrow the pain will be back
Waiting hours at the stop, the train is driving back
 
It takes too long
We have been here for a while and we have to continue
So for the last time I'm sorry, it takes too long
It takes too long, we stand still
What you want, what I want, it takes too long
 
Two silent people at the table, it looks hideous.
I can not walk that route with my eyes closed
You know exactly what I'm going to say, I know about you too
And in the end, I tell you how much I love you already
And then the doors will hit again and another glass will breaks
And then again a tear will fall and I'll grab my bag again
And, after that, I hold you firmly again
And put my clothes back in the closet
So, I'll hold you for a while
Because then you still forget how angry you were
But the pain remains, so it does not help
So it is probably the same song again tomorrow
The text is the same with the same beat
A kind of golden paint on a stone of grief
Conflicts are normal, but it should not suffocate us
My tears do not fall, so let me make the song sob
 
It takes too long
We have been here for a while and we have to continue
So for the last time I'm sorry, it takes too long
It takes too long, we stand still
What you want, what I want, it takes too long
 

Tree of wishes

Inside every dream,
the thoughts have their own power
in which with yearnings
you have to guess
what the land awaits.
 
On the tree of wishes there are already blossoms,
tells the wind.
So big is the dream,
your courage impels it.
 
In a childhood fairy tale,
when you drink from a well of fortune
you create your own destiny.
Your wish is not impossible,
you know and see that.
 
On the tree of wishes there are already blossoms,
tells the wind.
So big is the dream,
your courage impels it.
 
Then I invite you
to a secret garden before the storm.
The dream protects us,
and the most beautiful joy it is.
 
In thoughts as in feelings,
you create your path.
In thoughts, in your thoughts,
you make your own truths like that.
 
On the tree of wishes there are already blossoms,
tells the wind.
So big is the dream,
your courage impels it.
 
Then I invite you
to a secret garden before the storm.
The dream protects us,
and the most beautiful joy it is.
 
Then I invite you
to a secret garden before the storm.
On the tree of wishes there are already blossoms,
says the wind.
 

Sunday child

Tangible
What does that mean anyway?
 
Across the yard, around the house
Goes a blue and white tape
An unusually lukewarm October
 
That which is said
Is used against
 
We were those two
That no one could've guessed
You were the silent boy
Me, the sunday child
What kind of man
No one around the town knew
Had married mom
Only the boys knew that
 
What hymns will be chosen?
What will they write about us?
 
“In their own little gang”
“Occasionally with others too”
“Above average”
 
Who thought what
When wind came for a visit
 
We were those two
That no one could've guessed
You were the silent boy
Me, the sunday child
What kind of man
No one around the town knew
(x2)
Had married mom
Only the boys knew that
 
Tonight, Aaro
Keep your eyes closed
 
We were those two
That no one could've guessed
You were the silent boy
Me, the sunday child
What kind of man
No one around the village knew
Had married mom
Only the boys knew that
 

I Want You Today

You say you want
But you're afraid that if you leave
then there's no return
You know it too
this what we have
is something else
The way you look at me
when I look at you
You're so scared
I'm scared too
But this is exactly what it should feel like
 
Trust me just enough for this
I ask you to have the courage
Take a step towards me
now or never
I want you today
Let's not wait anymore
I want you today
Hey, what are we pondering
I want you today
Let's not wait anymore
I want you today
Hey, what are we pondering
 
What's stopping us
This phasing
is getting too much for me
Let's go now
Spread your wings babe
and we fly
You want me so much
I want you so much
You're heated too
I'm heated too
But this is exactly what it should feel like
 
Trust me just enough for this
I ask you to have the courage
Take a step towards me
now or never
I want you today
Let's not wait anymore
I want you today
Hey, what are we pondering
I want you today
Let's not wait anymore
I want you today
Hey, what are we pondering
 
Let me be yours completely
Maybe this will last forever
We have nothing to lose if we try
to fight our fears
 
Let me be yours completely
Maybe this will last forever

No Talking

Did I wake up again
here to watch
Empty faces,
listen to promises
 
The taste of devil's piss
rolls in my mouth
It eats my will,
my desires
 
In my iron boots I go around
the mountain of abyss
The boy of winter in me
doesn't want to die
 
I'm searching for a place,
where it's quiet
peaceful...
 
I breath slowly,
the view is silent
Quietly, there isn't even a word being said
No talking!
 
The souls are resting
under the rocks
in tranquility
in peace
 
Surrounded by the birds' singing
and the verdant nature
Here I could stay...

Mania

Nights,
days,
quiet moments
don't exist
There's only a burden
that has a weight
which is getting too heavy
 
Under the death hill I'm digging
the sun, the moon, silence
In the circle of life
inexplicable intensity,
hope, desire
 
Maniamaniamaniamaniamaniamania
maniamaniamaniamaniamaniamania
maniamaniamaniamaniamaniamania
mania
 
Paths
which I could walk
are too many
I can't remember
where I'm coming from,
where I'm going
 
And sometimes inside my head
something snaps and I remember
the rowhouse,
the wife, the dog, and Saturday evenings!

The Greatest Tragedy

I can't fool even myself anymore
Winter '69 summer was what it was
To die in a hotel, too romantic
You'll live a decent life, it's real
May I have a late check-out if I still enjoy for a bit
Loneliness, like an astronaut
May I have a late check-out if I still enjoy for a bit
You lived a decent life
 
You'll live a decent life
You'll live a decent life
You'll live a decent life
You'll live a decent life
You'll live a decent life
You'll live a decent life
(You'll live a decent life)
(You'll live a decent life)

Dad's swinging the axe around

It's a cabin when it's cold
People shivering under the blankets
Freezing and the fever is shaking
Toes are cold, nose is running
The fireplace is wide open and empty
Even though it's Christmas Eve
Finally dad has had enough
He found an axe from the porch
 
Dad's swinging the axe around
The yard's fence is falling with noise
Dad's swinging the axe around
Firewood begins to be made
Dad's swinging the axe around
 
It's now warm enough in the cabin
Fire is crackling in the fireplace
The lovely fire is warming
Cheeks are glowing, eyes shining
Dad heads smiling
Into mom's armpit
'You smell like liquor again'
Says dear mom to dad
 
Dad's swinging the axe around
The yard's fence is falling with noise
Dad's swinging the axe around
Firewood begins to be made
Dad's swinging the axe around
 

Change

Do you want to get undressed with or without eyes?
Now when we're hanging on something which feels like a shackle
To be what one doesn't have to
But show me someone who doesn't dwell on themselves
A penthouse is just a room with a roof
When you have everything what you want
Even inner beauty is transient
And death is just a pause, it doesn't solve anything
We change when we move or
We move when we change always
Boys will not always be boys
And nothing will change as long as it works
You say that we're the same
I wish you wouldn't be like this
Hyperbole, hyperbole
You want to be every shape that you aren't right now
 
Don't never ever change
Stay always the way you're now
Don't never ever change
How does anyone even dare to say something stupid like that?
 
Don't never ever change
Don't never ever change
How does anyone even dare?

Táncol a menny

Táncolnak a mennyek
A világmindenség szimfónia ritmusában.
Szolmizál a mennydörgés
A szvit akkordjait megszólaltatva
Jó lenne visszahozni mindent
Én, mint egy magányos fogoly,
A láthatatlan sértések
Mély erdejében elvesztem
Tudod, világunkat a bánat hangvillája elhangolta
És nélkülünk g-mollban festi az álmunkat
 
De az ajtóm nyitva van
És a lelkem darabokra széttörve
A virtuális sikolyban
A szívem megfulladt
Talán meghallak
Most hogy lélegzel?
Közelebb szeretnék lenni
Most már elkerülve a fölös szavakat
 
Táncolnak a mennyek
Elsárgult levelek suttogásában
És az óra mutatói
Nem ütemre táncolnak keringőt
A szemeken csillog a
Szilánkos kristálytiszta gondolat
Jó lenne újra visszahozni mindent
De semmi se az, és semmi se úgy ahogy kéne!
Tudod, a számokban elveszve
Mi értelmet próbáltunk keresni
Sötétben „Bocsásd meg” napi szlogen megjelent
 
De az ajtóm nyitva van
És a lelkem darabokra széttörve
A virtuális sikolyban
A szívem megfulladt
Talán meghallak
Most hogy lélegzel?
Közelebb szeretnék lenni
Most már elkerülve a fölös szavakat
 
Szikrázik az eső,
Az arcokat elmosva
Veled ma az összes
Határt szétmossuk
Szavakkal áthúzzuk, kitöröljük,
És magunk mögött hagyjuk
A szomorúság skáláját
ezúttal is…
Szavakkal áthúzzuk, kitöröljük,
És magunk mögött hagyjuk
A szomorúság skáláját
Most már kihagyva a fölös szavakat
 

Lightless

Lights above a city
In the middle of the night
From the window of the plane
Look like a great ocean
 
The world called and I answered yes
I didn't return
Even though I promised
many times
 
I've seen the neon lights of Tokyo
Danced under million disco balls
But without you I'm lightless inside
Without you I'm lightless
Without you I'm lightless inside
Without you I'm lightless
 
Lights above a city
are like an endless pearl string
Still a while before reaching home
 
The world called and I answered yes
And you waited for my return
many times
 
I've seen the neon lights of Tokyo
Danced under million disco balls
But without you I'm lightless inside
Without you I'm lightless
Without you I'm lightless inside
Without you I'm lightless

The Body Talks

Press your ear against my chest
Listen to the voice of the heart
It tells a story about loneliness
Hear the voice of my heart
 
It doesn't have words
One just has to know
When I get angry with you
I need to be hugged for a long time
Take me next to you
It's time to learn
How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk
 
Breath
At the same pace as me
Don't slack
Let's go in the same rhythm
Breath
Soon you can learn
How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk
 
(How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk)
 
How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk
 
Look into my eyes and deeper
And from there straight to my soul
You'll see why I've been so sad
Look straight into my soul
 
It doesn't have words
One just has to know
When I get angry with you
I need to be hugged for a long time
Take me next to you
It's time to learn
How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk
 
Breath
At the same pace as me
Don't slack
Let's go in the same rhythm
Breath
Soon you can learn
How I need to be read
When the body starts to talk

Gold Lining

I could talk only bad about you
But it doesn't help, it doesn't help anyone
And I don't feel like hating, I don't feel like hating you anymore
 
I could say you hurt me the most
But it doesn't change, it doesn't change anything
And I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry for you
 
Now when I look at this picture
which I used to turn towards the wall
I remember all the good about you
and that beautiful day when we said 'I do'
I will never forget or experience something greater
I didn't get a happy ending
But I keep it within a gold lining
 
But what if I tell you about it
that I'm OK, everything is OK
and I'm not missing, not missing that often anymore
 
Now when I look at this picture
which I used to turn towards the wall
I remember all the good about you
and that beautiful day when we said 'I do'
I will never forget or experience something greater
I didn't get a happy ending

I didn't get a happy ending

Eternal Friendship

These stars are flickering overhead, entire night sky is full of colors,
colors of moments we sit next to each other.
Best friends, see each other as brothers,
sit and talk all night long on the doorstep
the doorstep of numerous happy and sad memories....
Smile on the lips (everytime), meeting and chatting (everytime), remains in us so much joys......un-unforgettable
One day we're apart (remember!) Memories fade away (remember!)
Realize that we need each other whenever happy or sad...
You are my best friend ever in all over the world.
You and my way, you and my way, you and me are always here.
You are my best friend ever in all over the world
Since long time ago, long ago. Let's wish our friendship will last forever.

Wind's colors

Versions: #2
I'm just a wild human to you
And no matter how hard you look, there's nothing else in front of you
I can't possibly understand
Why you are claiming so
When you're not understanding life
Understanding
 
Everything is just property to you
And you claim everything you see to your name
But I know, every creature
Has a life and spirit inside
You think that people are always the ones alike you and no one else
But you should look with a stranger's eyes
A new kind of joy comes true for you
 
And do you hear the wolf's cry for fullmoon?
The reason why a bobcat laughs?
Can you sing with the voices of the great fathermountain?
Can you paint the wind's colors?
Can you paint the winds colors?
 
Come running through these forest trails
And taste the berries of earth and sun
You can always roll in riches here
Noticing that they have a worth too
The rain and the wind are my brothers
And my friends are the ones created by forests
Here everything's connected to everything
That goes on the path of life, roaming
 
So our trees rise to heights
If you cut them down, only an empty sky will be left
 
And do you hear the wolf's cry for fullmoon?
No matter is skin white or the color of copper
We all must sing with the voices of the great fathermountain
Even you have to paint with the wind's colors
You can own land, you'll own just land
If you can't learn to paint with the wind's colors

Siamese twins

It's late
Maybe too late
Nothing is the same anymore
It's 5AM
I won't go home
Nothing is the same anymore
 
Though we've known for years
I've never felt like this for years
That I'm dizzy, my head feels dizzy
 
We're too good friends
Siamese twins
More, more, more than just friends
Maybe we're those people
Who are connected by the heart
More, more, more than just friends
 
I'll pour
Some more
Nothing will be the same anymore
When it's 5AM
And you're taking me to your place
Nothing will be the same anymore
 
Though we've got time
You made me feel a new emotion
That I'm dizzy, my head feels dizzy
 
We're too good friends
Siamese twins
More, more, more than just friends
Maybe we're those people
Who are connected by the heart
More, more, more than just friends
 
More than just friends
More, more, more than just friends
(More than just friends)
More, more, more than just friends
 
'I want to be more than just friends...'

Please don't forget

I'm standing on dry sand and waiting for you
I feel like I wait for you all the time
I'm just waiting for you to come back
 
Summer went by and I miss you
I feel like all I do is miss you
I just miss you, love
I just miss and wait
I just miss and wait

You don't hear me, love
It's no use even if I scream
You don't hear even though I scream
 
Wherever you are, please don't forget me
Wherever you are, please don't forget (oo-o, please don't forget)
I wonder what you're doing

Seclusion Waltz

It's all boringly similar
Let me love it til the end
This irreplaceable life
I want to live it with you
 
Spring and summer repeat
The new seasons when I go to meet you
You're so cute in your overwashed, and faded clothes
 
La, la, la
 
Fill the chipped bowl full
And your form is reflected
 
Aah, God, Buddha, please don't take her
Any further from me
 
Nice to meet you, what's your name?
What kind of sky do you like?
The colors of the campsis grandiflora blooming in the garden are beautiful
 
Where have I seen you before?
I'm sorry, I don't remember
But it seem to me that you look so sad
 
Fall and winter close in
The seasons when I taste purity
That sideways glance and smile are strangely familiar
 
La, la, la
 
Waxing and softly deceiving
It steals my form
 
Aah, If anyone can hear me, please
Don't steal you from inside of me
 
I mourn, just like before
It's calm. Resplendent
 
It's all boringly repetitive
Let me love it til the end
This irreplaceable end
I want to spend it with you
 
Over and over, spring and summer
New when I go to meet you
 
Sinking into fall and winter
The seasons when I taste purity
 
That sideways glance and smile are terribly lovely
 
La, la, la
 
Fill the chipped bowl full
(Waxing and softly deceiving)
And your form is reflected
(It steals my form)
 
Aah, God, Buddha, please don't take her
 
Aah, The you within me
 
Come, the vivid cadence
This waltz that suits us so well

Have you heard what they're talking about in St. Petersburg?

ENSEMBLE:
St. Petersburg is so dark and very hopeless
As underwear gets frozen on my body
Even a revolution didn't bring us relief
Thank goodness the gossip is the small comfort we've got
 
Hey, have you heard what they're talking about in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard about the newest rumor?
Thought they took the czar's life, his daughter may be still alive
Oh, I wish Anastasia was - the rumor's a secret
 
Is it a rumor or a legend or a mystery
Somewhere they've been secretly whispering the whole night
It's probably just a rumor but so important to us
And the grandmother will gift her price for it
If she just gets her princess back
 
This painting costs only one ruble, he's the real Romanov
And the czar's former pajama to my comrades
Here, I found this old fur coat from the palace
If it belonged to the princess, it's worth the price
 
DIMITRI:
May it be a rumor or a legend or a mystery
But our princess will open our way to riches
My friend, that means we're making history
When we find the right girl to play the role of princess
Our road takes us to Paris
And the grandmother has to pay her price for it
This must be the greatest fraud of all
 
The riches!
 
VLADIMIR:
The riches!
 
DIMITRI:
Are waiting for us!
 
VLADIMIR:
Are waiting for us!
 
DIMITRI & VLADIMIR:
Then the whole St. Petersburg is gonna rumor about us, I guess
 
ENSEMBLE:
Hey, have you heard what they're talking about in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard about the newest rumor?
Hey, have you heard what they're talking about in St. Petersburg?
Of the gossip, what's going on, comrades?
 
Such a strange mystery
 
DIMITRI:
And the biggest fraud of all
 
ENSEMBLE:
If Anastasia is still alive after all

Cherry blossom​s, dancing in the moonlight

The voice that anxiously waits for the spring quietly resounds in the darkness
The song of the passing seasons slowly starts to awaken
 
On the water illuminated by the moonlight lightly float the cherry blossoms
With a faint smile I excitedly reach my hand to the crimson scenery
 
As the spring wind blows through the west the rustling breeze carries my feelings and I offer my prayers to the distant sky
 
As the flower buds unravel, beautifully fluttering, flower petals swoop down and dance clad in the moonlight
Wearing a fancy kimono, I watch the glimmer of impermanent worldly things as the third lunar month is enveloped in a pink scenery that begins to overflow
Dancing in this fleeting reddening world
 
I suddenly let out a sigh ​and dye my concealed anxiety
As I gracefully fold the sleeves of my garments
 
Now blooming to their fullest, the cherry blossom​s light up the night
'Is it a dream or reality' I faintly whisper, being entranced by the flowers
 
Hearing the silent voice regretting the time's passage, I rest my eyes on the view and bid it farewell as the season changes again
 
The dancing storm of falling cherry blossoms​ under the moonlight are like a flickering illusion
Glamorously fluttering, continuing to dye this transient world
The flowers in the wind accept the sadness that they will obscurely wear out and through the tears I see a hazy moon dyed in a tender pink
They keep blooming and falling, unable to escape their fate
 
Inviting me into a dream, beautifully fluttering the flower petals swoop down into disorder clad in the moonlight
Wearing a fancy kimono, I watch the short lived things burn up as the third lunar month is enveloped in a pink scenery that begins to overflow
Dancing in this fleeting reddening world
 

It's No Good

I woke up from a dream
Where everything was better
But no, but no
 
I deleted the number
and deleted all the photos too
But no, but no, but no, but no
 
My mind already knew it
Knew it a long time ago
Days turn into months
The journey from head to heart
takes a long time with its twists and turns
I'm never getting over you
It's no good, no good, no good
It's no good, no good, no good
 
I drank and smoked and partied
I thought that I'd forget that way
But no, but no
I changed the sheets
Tried having others lying next to me too
But no, but no, but no, but no
 
My mind already knew it
Knew it a long time ago
Days turn into months
The journey from head to heart
takes a long time with its twists and turns
I'm never getting over you
 
Even though I move into a different city
Fall for different people, it's still no good
No good, no good, no good
I marry another
Have three kids, of course, no good
No good, no good, no good
 
My mind already knew it
Knew it a long time ago
Days turn into months
The journey from head to heart
takes a long time with its twists and turns
I'm never getting over you
 
It's no good, no good, no good
 

I Wish You Had a Girlfriend

I wish you had a girlfriend
I wish she was here, is she here
That way I wouldn't have to avoid
Those eyes of yours, green eyes
 
What's your name, I don't have to know
What phone number, I don't need it
Please don't get angry if I don't want to talk with you
I pretend like you're someone else's, this is only self-defense
 
I keep to the other side of the floor
I dance like you don't exist
Because I have someone waiting for me at home
And even though I'm sure you would be lovely too
 
It's still better
Something better
Something much better
My baby, it's better
 
I wish you had a girlfriend
She would come to get you, to take you home
That way I wouldn't have to look
At my own feet because I don't dare to look at you
 
What's your name, I don't have to know
What phone number, I don't need it
Please don't get angry if I don't want to talk with you
I pretend like you're someone else's, this is only self-defense
 
I keep to the other side of the floor
I dance like you don't exist
Because I have someone waiting for me at home
And even though I'm sure you would be lovely too
 
It's still better
Something better
Something much better
My baby, it's better
 
Someone who loves and they love me
Nobody else will be good enough for me and they want me
Someone who loves and they love me
Nobody else will be good enough for me and they want me
Someone who loves and they love me
Nobody else will be good enough for me and they want me
Someone who loves and they love me
Nobody else will be good enough for me and they want me
 

Naive

On the latest Weekend festival it was kind of blurry
somehow your number ended up in my phone
we met Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun, didn't sleep much
after that you disappeared
well but you work
your iPhone must be dead
 
chorus
Baby I believe
that you are the sweetest thing on earth
with you it's so easy
to fall in love blindly
 
Everyone says that you are ice cold
and that you don't care about me at all
but baby I believe
that you are the sweetest thing on earth
I'm so naive
 
Last Saturday we were supposed to cook together
but you didn't come, I ate skillet nachos alone
hey I get that you were tired
nothing's wrong
but I'm just thinking of what I heard
about you staying out late
 
chorus
 
Oh you live with someone else
oh you have been together for four years
would you like to go to movies tomorrow
or to eat ice cream to the Kaivopuisto shore
oh you cannot make it
well it's fine
 
chorus
 

Seventeen

There's nobody at the beach
Wanting to be sure about our love
I looked to slip from your arms
The radiance of the waterside where I run
Leaves me breathless
Soon, strong, come to catch me
Because I like you
Now I'm living
 
Under the blue sky
Wanting to embrace our love
I looked to melt into the light
We both become gulls
And though the wind is big
I beg you to not move
Because I like you
Now I'm living
 
Entrust your passionate life to me
You can kiss me softly
In the middle of the sky and the sea watching us
Because I like you
Now I'm living
Now I'm living

Rubik's Cube

Versions: #2
I miss
I miss your passionate speeches
Words that pour on me
As a light rain
Those who
Who I walk with now
Are pleasant to be around
But they say so little
 
Chorus:
I miss it when you could solve
A Rubik's cube fast
The ice storm first came to the movies
Then as weather
It froze all the branches of the trees
 
I seem to
I seem to miss you
Telling me the plots of books
That I haven't read
Those who
Who I walk with now
Are infuriating
Because they remember so little
 
Chorus
 
Chorus
 
As ice it glazed
All the branches of the trees
 

Wind

Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka
Weavers all of winds and weather
 
Pray I do to a black man
Raise a wind and make it whirling
 
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Make a gale that's great and growing
 
Tear up tar stumps off the roadside
Pull the pine trees off the lake shore
 
Break the tops of giant oak trees
Crash their robust roots to splinter
 
Rise thou wind to blow and bellow
Gust and gale to whirl all over
 
Rise thou wind to blow and bellow
Rage and rave, thou angry weather,
 
Blow thou wind through more than six years
Rage through summers more than seven
 
Rapids rise to rush in torrents
Aged waters to run swiftly
 
And thou self rush like the rapids
And prevail without a hindrance
 
Pray I do to a black man
Raise a wind and make it whirling
 
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Make a gale that's great and growing
 

I am losing the true faith

I am losing the true faith -
It hurts me over our USSR:
Examine Nasser's decoration -
The decoration doesn't suit Nasser!
 
One may even swear from the platform in bad language,
Distribute presents obliquely all over the place,
Call Nasser our brother. -
But give him the Medal Gold Star of the Hero* - that's to squander!
 
Why is no gold in the country?
Gave it away, the bastards, gave it away!
It would have been better to have given it during the war, -
And Nassers would later forgive us.
 

Lapislazuli Earth

'There isn't a night without a dawn'
You say in few words
At the cape where a lighthouse stands
I was watching the dark sea
There are days that I worry
And I get sad and disheartened
But because you came by my side
I could keep living
 
The dawn from the horizon
Shoots rays of light
And is wrapping us both
The Lapislazuli Earth
 
My tear-stained face becomes smiley
The tears of that moment
To the people of the whole world
I want to share with them
Competing and hearting each other
People are weak
However, the strength to love
Surely is expected to be
 
On the other side of the glass sea
The milky way spreads out
On a boat called Earth
We're all travellers
 
There's nothing but one
I want to protect our heavenly body
 
The dawn from the horizon
Shoots rays of light
And is wrapping us both
The Lapislazuli Earth
The Lapislazuli Earth
