Laivat [English translation]

From far away, masts glide out from behind the mist like from a land of past

From far away, from a wheelhouse music echoes, wind carries the melody here

From far away, the ships, the white ships glide from a land I thought to be forgotten

From behind mist veils, behind lands, oceans, behind mountains, lands and oceans

Tell me where the ships got tailwind in their sails

Are they bringing me a message from somewhere far

Tell me do the ships from childhood glide to me

When snow-white ships glide from there like clouds

When snow-white ships glide from there like clouds

Again, I see the brown of chestnuts and maidens wave to me from far away

Again, the mirages of islands allure me to them with promises

Then, the ships leave me, the wandering wind carries them far away

Behind mist veils, behind lands, oceans, behind mountains, lands and oceans

Tell me where the ships got tailwind in their sails

Are they bringing me a message from somewhere far

Tell me do the ships from childhood glide to me

When snow-white ships glide from there like clouds

Snow-white ships glide from there like clouds

Tell me do the ships from childhood glide to me

Snow-white ships glide from there like clouds
