Tuuli on kylmä, tuuli puhaltaa taukoamatta
Sade piiskantuu ihoon ja lihaksiin pureutuu viima
Missä oot kulta?
Kaipaan lämpöäs nyt lauantaina
Kun vain tuijotan tuoppiini, lämpimän katseesi siellä nään.
Watching the sky, watching the shining river
Watching the fields, wild as the wind blows
Watching the sun, behind the dark cloudy weather
As it whispers in your ear, that the world has a fear
Kiire on aina
Baarin ikkunaan tuijotan
Vihaiset ihmiset viistävät kaukainen katse kasvoillaan
Missä oot ystävä?
Jossain kaukana maailmalla
Kuljen Kauppatorin rantaan, käännän katseeni merelle päin.
Traveling around with my hometown on my mind
I think ’bout my friends with a frown on the face
Remember the sky, watching the shining river
Watching the fields, wild as the wind blows
Watching the sun behind the dark cloudy weather
How they could carry on with their black minds
I would ask them to move away, out from the ice
Helsinki on my mind!
Rainy days, the disgrace
It was a long time ago
Since I saw the sunshine in your halo
Been trying to escape those lies:
“Darkness inside my simple mind!”
Now this foaming pint keeps me warm
As it fades the memories into this swamp
The grey day when I was left alone
In this foggy hometown: sorrow
Watching the sky, watching the shining river
Watching the fields, wild as the wind blows
Watching the sun behind the dark cloudy weather
How they could carry on with that black in their minds?
…as it whispers in your ear
That this world has a fear…
(…as I’ve been fading my past
As it blows thru my song…)
