Joutsenlaulu - Swan song

Again, you see the kids playing in the yard
Playing their games below your window
Again, you stay standing still next to the window,
You stay next to the window.

You fly years back
Those memories overpower you daily
Those [memories] again seek a singer for the Swan song,
Again seek a singer.

Those moments from birth to death
When reflected into eyelids
Makes others believe in God perhaps,
Others in Satan, or in anything else
But however, not in this world.

You once also found it
That love of half a century
It was easy for you to be happy,
To be happy.

What use you have for your instincts now
Now when the birds have flown from their nest
All you have are yellowed photos,
You page through them again,
And again and again.

Maybe you don't need my sympathy
It can't numb away the pain
That pain writes this song
That pain reaches anyone
That pain reaches.

I see your mourning veil,
Five years ago it got to breath
At that time the Swan song made you cry,
Made you cry.

You'd like to be as back then,
When you were cloaked in a white veil
That [moment] is already lost in time
As you are.

I'd like to try
Then I'd stay floating on the water
When i see a river flooding over the banks,
See a river flooding.

Those women in the markets with their carts
And men in their haunt[bar]s
Dreaming of the fountain of youth perhaps,
And the pain dilutes, or whatever.

Again a moment closer to death,
The pain never fades away
That pain writes this song,
That pain reaches
Anyone,
That pain reaches
Whomever it wants
