SAILOR
Seemann
Come into my boat, a storm arises and night falls.Where do you want to go, so totally alone, you drift away.
Who holds your hand when it tries to pull you under?
Where do you want to go, so far from shore in the cold sea?
Come into my boat, the autumn wind keeps the sail taut.
Now there you stand by the lantern, with tears on your face.
The daylight falls below the horizon, the autumn wind sweeps the streets clean.
Now there you stand by the lantern, with tears on your face.
The evening light drives away the shadows, time stands still, and it becomes autumn.
Come into my boat, the longing is my helmsman.
Come into my boat, the best sailor, yes I am.
Now there you stand by the lantern, you have tears on your face.
You take the fire from the candle, time stands still, and it becomes autumn.
They only talk about your mother, only the night can be so merciless.
In the end I remain alone, time stands still, and I am cold.
ALIVE
En vie
Why are so many stories made for the tomorrows that sing out of tune?Why ask so many questions, do we have to be so bloody stupid?
Don't we have to just see ourselves a little more, a little less badly?
Don't we have to just want something, and this world all gone to war.
Let us reduce our sorrows, let us achieve our pleasure,
Let us distil our hatred and drink to our memories.
Let us drink to no longer tell lies, let us achieve our pleasure.
And what if one day all the flowers grow back, for love is still alive.
Why do we let ourselves take risks when our dreams are losing their memory?
Do we have to be so stupid, history keeps repeating itself.
HOW FAR
Wie weit
My life goes on, so monotonous and still, drawing a circle of eternity.I cannot escape my feelings, I will always be a permanent guest.
The gold of this world is worthless, it burns my skin.
How far must I go in order to see that the night searches for its end?
How much must I give in order to feel? Am I just damned?
Do I dare? Is it good, or am I just damned?
Why am I sad when I have more than I ever had?
My life is lonely, I am too weak to even stand up.
Stretched out and paralysed on the floor, the sky is too heavy.
My own habits are my enemy, like the lethargy in me,
And it's so difficult to change, it's a war that I'm losing.
How far must I go in order to see that the night searches for its end?
How much must I give in order to feel? Am I just damned?
How great is the yearning that I carry, I'm losing my reputation.
Should I surrender myself or should I live a life after the flood?
Do I dare? Is it good, or am I just damned?
NOTE: 'Quutamo' is Finnish for 'moonlight'.
HEROES
Helden
You could swim like dolphins can.No one gives us a chance, but we can beat them, forever and ever,
And we can be heroes, just for one day.
I am the king and you the queen, although they seem so unbeatable,
We could be heroes, just for one day.
I remember, like in a dream, the wall against our backs was cold.
The gunshots rent the air, and we kissed as if nothing were wrong,
And the shame fell to the other side.
We could defeat them for all time, we could be heroes on this day.
We could be heroes, just for one day.
