Kop kop koputin taivaanportteja
|
Knock knock I knocked on heaven's gates
|
|
en pilvillä surffaa
|
I won’t be surfing on clouds
|
|
joku rokotteen kuolemaan kehittää
|
someone will develop a vaccine for death
|
|
jos otan omiin käsiini kohtalon
|
if I take fate into my own hands
|
|
se mitä jäi sanomatta
|
what was left unsaid
|
|
joku rokotteen kuolemaan kehittää
|
someone will develop a vaccine for death
|
|
joku rokotteen kuolemaan kehittää
|
someone will develop a vaccine for death
|
|
halusin taikka en silti kuolema lähestyy
|
whether I want to or not death is still approaching
|
Notes
“Knock knock I knocked on heaven’s gates”
An echo of, and possible reference to, the chorus of Bob Dylan’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door: “Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door.” In 1992, a cover of the song by the California hard rock band Guns N’ Roses went to number 7 on the Finnish charts.
“pushing up cow parsley”
Like pushing up daisies, in Finnish. Cow parsley, or “Koiranputki,” is a sort of wildflower. Thanks lilli m!
