Särkyneiden sydänten tie [English translation]

1 This land is where we'll settle.

Time won't wear us off.

Despite sometimes treading

The brighter side of Broken Heart Way.

5 You naturally come up with good reasons,

but if made an offer, you'd sell your soul.

Everything is in place

as we're treading

the brighter side of Broken Heart Way.

refrain:

10 We're like a leafless tree

that falls in the wind of life.

We're like the freezing ground:

on its way only staying in its place.

We're like cold May,

15 when all beautiful things freeze.

We're like a mere mirror image

as we gaze into the night.

You sold that rusty BMW

and all the yellowed comics.

20 Thus even if we sometimes tread

the brighter side of Broken Heart Way.

refrain

A little way before Heinola

we look in the rear view mirror.

I won't ever regain the sleepless nights.

25 A little way before Heinola

all pieces fall in place

if they're about to fall at all.

refrain

All falls in the wind of life

30 and all else freezes

as we gaze into the night.
