Mikan faijan BMW [English translation]

Lauri, after all these years

Called to ask

"Should we get the gang together?

We haven't seen in ages

And do you remember that beemer

The dude still has it

Why wouldn't we go to the city?

Do all the things just like before"

And so once again I sit

On the bench of an old BMW

Mika's driving of course

It's his dad's car

Mika's the most quiet one of us

Lauri's the loudest

Rami's a pedigree maniac

I'm the romantic

chorus:

The wheels of Mika's dad's BMW

Roll once again

It drives the old gang

To party once more

The wheels of Mika's dad's BMW

Roll once again

Even though everything's right

Nothing's the same anymore

The last time we met

With Rami, we sure fought a lot

Now he pats my back

"It's so nice to see my old friend"

Mika's still quiet

Rumors tell that he got

HIV from his wife

But no one asks about it

And Lauri's now a businessman

Maybe he's making millions, who knows

Before he didn't drink at all

Now he's the first of us slurring

And cursing his shitty life

Saying he doesn't have the power to continue

And everyone's quiet

So unusually quiet

chorus

We did have a lot of fun though

Went to all the places we used to go

Many of them just don't exist anymore

Even the music hall grows hay these days

The night got an deserved ending

When Rami hit on a horrible hag

We yelled after each other

"We have to do this again"

A week after this

I saw Mika at the town

Tears in his eyes

He said: "Lauri took his own life"

He was found yesterday

Lauri was found dead

No messages

Nothing

chorus

Never ever

Will anything be the same
