Lapsuuden metsä [English translation]

Closed eyes, empty mind

Hums alone

Thoughts wander

like stray orphans.

Where is the castle of the past,

the forest of childhood?

I begin to call to the lost,

I don't hear them.

Once there were meadows by the rivers

Fairies frolicked

In the evening I'll come exhausted

I'll come along

Here sang the nightingale

The trumpet[?] rang

I knew the exact route how

to get there.

Behind remained the beds of strawberries

and rusty hooks,

when my steed flew across

the swamps,

waterlogged lands, took its hooves

into the air in its gallop

Oh how I would find

the golden valley again

Perhaps I still have a place

in the middle of the verdancy

So free is the child in its pasture

In the swamp the steed lies down

Nothing flies above anymore

Gray days with worries

I guess their wings were taken from them

I turn with wet feet

I must get home

Far away, so far away

This land of my childhood

How would it dare to flow

above the waterlogged swamp

When my steed too sinks there

little by little,

I can't believe anymore that dreams

carry tired feet over swamps

[Refrain]

Gallop, gallop, gallop, my steed

Appear, castle, take me over

the dark abyss,

Run

back to the forest of childhood

Gallop, gallop, gallop, my steed

Fly, jump over the gorge

Find your familiar path again

[Refrain]
