Jossain metsäin takana [English translation]
Jossain metsäin takana [English translation]
Somewhere beyond the forests, expanses open
Seagulls circle around an old lighthouse
Ships sail to the open sea from the harbour
There, on the deck of a ship, I saw you for the last time
You said forest distresses a searcher of new things
Only inefficient wimps remain in the company of snow
You knew you could conquer the world once you try
The forest parishes shall wilt here with their roots
[Refrain:]
I hope you got the world you were looking for on the roads
That the gold hand of fortune gave you what you looked for
So that your dream wouldn't get trampled to the asphalt of the street
So that your faith in big dreams would survive
Maybe you'll remember the land of forests one day
You'll remember the white clouds over the lakes
You'll remember how a loon1cried in the loneliness of the evening
The delicate song of a willow warbler faded to the dark
[Refrain]
You just can't forget the people of the backwater land
Childhood and youth created steel bonds
You're still one of the group, you will be that forever
You'll have to remember that in the world's feast tables
[Refrain]
Ships sail to the open sea from the harbour
I'm still waiting for you, oh my dear friend
