Kerran vain haaveeni nahda sain
|
En pienuutta alla tahtien tuntenut
|
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
|
Vankina sielta kirjetta kirjoitan
|
|
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
|
|
Sinussa maailman kauneus
|
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
|
|
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
|
|
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
|
|
Oman taivaan tanne loin
|
Anna minun paasta pois
|
|
Oman taivaan tanne loin
|
Anna minun paasta pois
|

(ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

|
Death Makes An Artist
|
|
Only once I could see my dream
|
Didn't feel the smallness under the stars
|
Once I got bars in my cradle
|
As a prisoner I write a letter from there
|
|
My Lord, let me come to you, let me become what my child thinks I am *
|
In you is the beauty of the world, of which death made me an artist
|
My Lord, let me come to you, let me become what my child thinks I am
|
|
My own heaven I created here
|
Let me get away
|
My own heaven I created here
|
Let me get away
|
|
---
|
|
* This sentence contains a wordplay ("become" and "come" are the same word in Finnish, "tulla".) Literally translated it would go like this:
|
|
My Lord, to you let me (be)come what my child thinks I am
|
|
"luoksesi anna minun tulla" means "let me come to you" and "anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee" means "let me become what my child thinks I am."
