Mun tähteni [English translation]

Once more I notice the passing years

Have broken the wings of my dreams

Time is shepherding my grave without pause

The smells of spring flowers

And girls' sighs

And the melodies of songs

Will all be forever silenced by six feet

Not without cause do I worry

Since all that I get

Leaves me thirsting for more

Even a thousand years

Would hardly begin to be enough

to quench my thirst

I'll leave the devil and the Lord

To throw dice over my soul

And I'll drink my cup, bottoms up

if ever I lay my hands on it

I've gotten a little taste from it

But my strength, I fear, is not enough

To raise it yet once more to my lips

My strength of will has faded

Fate has sentenced me

to wander without destination

I'm a shooting star in the night sky

The bright lights of the city

Drown me out with their shine

So I want you to drink to my memory

As time extinguishes my star

And if a teardrop should gleam on your cheek

You will get my star to

shine in it once more

I don't know my part

When the play is set to begin

I don't understand the plot

And I can't manage to say my lines

The audience won't tolerate this

So I don't have the nerve to begin

Only the strong triumph here

Amateurs are not remembered

So my little darling

I'd like you to enclose

These verses in your heart

To keep them safe

So if you long for me, you'll have them

When others have forgotten them

I want you to drink to my memory

As time extinguishes my star

And if a teardrop should gleam on your cheek

You will get my star to

shine in it once more

I want you to drink to my memory

As time extinguishes my star

And if a teardrop should gleam on your cheek

You will get my star to

shine in it once more

You will get my star to

shine in it once more
