Joutsenlaulu (translation)

Joutsenlaulu = Swan Song

Again I see those children on the yard,
In front of your window they are playing
Again I see you behind the window, where you are staring still

Your dreams fly beyond all those years,
Every day those memories return into your mind
They are searching for the one, who would sing the swansong

Those moments from cradle to grave
They make someone to believe in god..
someone to believe in satan..but no-one to believe in this world

You also found it once..the love, which last half of the century
It was so easy for you to be happy that time

What can you do now, when your children have left out from the nest
You have only those old photos, which you are browsing over and over again

I guess you might not need my pity,
because it does not ease your pain
Your pain is the writer of this song
and it catch up with everyone on its' way

You find your sorrow veil,
which you needed to wear five years ago
And at that time the swansong made you cry..made you cry

So much you would like to be like in those good old days,
when you wore the white wedding veil
..but it has been already buried by the dust of time..just like you today

I still would like to try
to keep my head above the surface of the water
when the river starts to flood and washes everything away

Once again you're closer to your death...
But the pain will never fade
Your pain is the writer of this song
and it catch up with everyone on its' way
