Kauas pilvet karkaavat [English translation]

I didn't know what I got when I fetched you to dance

A rhythmical song was playing, you said: "Come closer"

Everything else was hidden when the moon was covered by clouds,

and the park dims and a reason is found somewhere.

The band takes a pause, I ask you to let me escort you, you only laugh quietly

The others turn to look, the evening isn't over yet, a nonstop disc is playing,

I have to wait like for a rising moon.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.

I didn't know what I got when I fetched you to dance,

as if you had changed, you didn't laugh anymore.

I looked behind me, the moon sails back into sight, its glow glitters

and confuses me.

You're only standing there like the most beautiful flower

If I watch you carefully for one moment more, you will surely disappear like lovely dreams,

and the fascination will be gone, only longing is left.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.

But the clouds float far away, you try to reach them in vain

The clouds float far away, so do I.
