|
En saa unta, makaan riippukeinussa
|
I can't sleep; I'm lying in a hammock
|
|
Hiekkatie vie merenrantaan. Lapsena
|
A dirt road leads to the seashore. As children,
|
|
Mille rannalle voin mun lapset tuoda?
|
To which beach can I bring my children?
|
|
No kurvaan huoltoasemalle.
|
Well, I pull into the gas station.
|
|
Taitaa olla vikaa taustapeilissä.
|
I think the problem is in the rearview mirror.
|
|
Mille rannalle voin mun lapset tuoda?
|
To which beach can I bring my children?
|
|
Mille rannalle aiot lapses tuoda?
|
To which beach do you intend to bring your children?
