Kop, kop, koputin taivaan portteja,
|
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
“pushing up cow parsley”
Like pushing up daisies, in Finnish. Cow parsley, or “Koiranputki,” is a sort of wildflower. Thanks lilli m!
