Lautturi [English translation]

I'm waiting here in the tunnel where a cold light is shining

Where the dark dogs encounter the choir of brightness, howling

Everything happened so fast when I always thought I'd go little by little

I'd regret but I don't know how, or even why

Should I wail half-aloud: lead the unfinished journey home

Where, how should I lie down?

Should I scream if you were here after all?

Take me to where that person is

Current, split in front of the oar

Take me to where that person is

Ferryman1, hear my wish

This light is hurting my eyes in the tunnel where the choir is still singing

Early on I learned how fragile happiness is, how it doesn't last long

I want to know why long ago you didn't come back

Soon I lost my way, the easy, lopsided path led me astray

Take me to where that person is

Current, split in front of the oar

Take me to where that person is

Ferryman, hear my wish

Take me to where that person is

To the dark current

Take me to where that person is one more time

Underneath ground and water, a girl is rowing

And singing in dead languages

Underneath ground and water, a girl is rowing

It's an unhurried and tranquil current

1. In Finnish mythology, the person who takes the dead to the underworld along an underground river and acts as the ferryman is Tuonen tytti, the daughter of the Master of Tuonela.
