Ville Valo - Kun Minä Kotoani Läksin

Song is called,roughly translated,"When I Left my Home" and it can be found by the compilation album called "Synkkien Laulujen Maa"(Land of the Dark Songs).

Finnish:
Kun minä kotoani läksin niin pilvet ne varjoili (x2)
Ja katkista katkerimman kohtalon mulle maailma tarjosi (x2)

Kylän karkeloissa tulin tyttösen tuntemaan (x2)
Enkä minä loistetta sinisistä silmistä unhoita milloinkaan (x2)

Eikä mun ikäväni haiadu täällä outojen seurassa (x2)
Ennen kuin kukkii se orjan ruusu minun hautani reunalla (x2)

English:
When I left my home
clouds were casting their shadows.
And the world offered me the most bitter destiny.

At the village's feast
I came to know a girl.
And I never will forget the shine of her blue eyes.

And my longing will not fade away,
here among the strange people
before that rose of the slave will bloom
on the edge of my grave.

Great that someone has had the energy to translate this into English. Poetry is not easy to translate, but anyway. Ville`s performance tells you the main idea anyway. Thank you!

@evfan101 There is! :) Ville has sung such Finnish songs as "Valo yössä", "Ikkunaprinsessa", "Paratiisi", "Niin jykevä on rakkaus" (original: "I only wanna be with you") and a collaboration with the late Kari Tapio, "Täällä pohjantähden alla" :)
