My father's age

I remember how we watched from the hallway
as dad packed his stuff into the trunk,
and Thousand Nights echoed on the radio.
And mom sat at the kitchen table,
nothing but emptiness in her eyes,
just saying over and over that it wasn't supposed to happen like this.
But if we were supposed to meet again on Sunday,
to watch the Kalpa1 game,
but in the end we listened to it on the radio,
and didn't hear from dad for months.
Until we woke to the doorbell,
mom burst into tears in the hallway,
and I got my own toy car,
as a gift from the police.
 
Today I'm my father's age,
but I still don't get
how you didn't see any way out.
I don't know if I believe in heaven,
but I would like to see you again.
And even though I'm older than you,
I'll always be your little boy.
 
You taught me to ride a bike,
and showed me how to skate backwards.
You said that I'd be the next Selänne.2
You always managed to be happy with me,
even though Finland was windy in the 90s,
and you had a mortgage.
I got my first guitar from you,
that nylon-stringed Landola.
You also liked to play it yourself,
I learned even these chords from you.
I often wonder whether you would be proud,
if you could hear your son's songs,
they play them on the radio these days,
and this one talks about you.
 
Today I'm my father's age
but I still don't get
how you didn't see any way out.
I don't know that I believe in heaven,
but I would like to see you again.
And even though I'm older than you,
I'll always be your little boy.
 
Hey dad, hey dad.
Hey dad, hey dad.
I wonder if you can hear me, I miss you.
 
We were excited about Finnish hockey together, we celebrated with you in '95.
But after that I didn't watch, since I didn't want to do it alone.
Many moves would have been easier, if you had been my moving buddy.
I held a lot of resentment, but everything's forgiven now.
 
Today I'm my father's age,
but I still don't get
how you didn't see any way out.
I don't know that I believe in heaven,
but I would like to see you again.
And even though I'm older than you,
I'll always be your little boy.
 
Hey dad, hey dad.
Hey dad, hey dad.
I wonder if you can hear me, I miss you.
Hey dad, hey dad.
Hey dad, hey dad.
Even though I'm older than you, I'll always be your little boy.

Go, You're Free





This name of mine,
say it no more, please.
That name of yours,
I've already erased it from my heart.
 

And go, you are free,
go but remember
that, like me, one day
you will suffer this way.
 

But this name of mine
will return again to your lips
and your heart
surely will seek me out.
 

But no, don't fool yourself
that I can wait for you
and if you leave me,
no, don't return.
 

And go, you are free,
and go but remember
that it will be your fault
if you regret me.
 

~~~~~
 

But no, don't fool yourself
that I can wait for you
and if you leave me,
no, no, don't return.
 

And go, you are free,
and go but remember
that it will be your fault
if you regret me.
 

And go, you are free,
and go, you are free,
and go, you are free,
and go, you are free.

Speak to Him





You're a friend and I know it,
I trust you and therefore
if I ask you a favor,
you shouldn't say no,
you mustn't say no to me.
 

Then speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Yes, I know you're sorry,
but it's your fault that he
this evening
didn't show up with me
and you already understood why.
 

And so speak to him,
make peace between us
and don't tell me,
don't tell me that you can't.
 

Oh, speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him!

Tonight You'll Hear a Song





Tonight you'll hear a song,
a song you already know.
The woman you no longer love will sing it,
the woman who will leave you but who won't cry.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will stay with you throughout your life,
a song be will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

Tonight I'll relive for the last time
these moments that I'll no longer find
but when I disappear and only you are found,
you'll cry because you'll remember.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

A Reflection in the Water





It was
a moonlit evening,
under the bridge the river slept
and a woman sang.
 

Clear,
the water slipped away
and the image of your smile
the river mirrored.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing remained,
but I inside my mind
still see you.
 

It was
a moonlit evening,
your voice spoke
and the river silently listened.
 

And it was,
almost a year has passed
but every evening I return to look
into the river to dream.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.
