(Kaisa)
Hait sun kamasi pois täältä eilen palautit pakun ja avaimen elämä jatkuu silti halusin tai en |
(Kaisa)
You picked up your stuff from here yesterday you returned the van and the key life goes on anyway whether I wanted it to or not |
|
(Markus)
matkalla jonnekin perusbaariin taas sataa mutta kenen laariin tää on niin dramaattista että naurattaa |
(Markus)
heading to some basic bar it's raining again but who's getting anything out of it this is so dramatic it's got to make you laugh |
|
(together)
tää on kerho särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin kanssa yksinäisten salaseura särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin |
(together)
this is the broken hearts club you are not alone among the lonely secret society of broken hearts you are not alone |
|
(Anna)
mulla on aina huono tuuri valomerkkikin tuli juuri on tullut taas laskun aika se liian suuri on |
(Anna)
I always have bad luck it's time for the bill again it is too steep |
|
(Markus)
ei meän pöyässä juttu luista en tunnuslukua edes muista sinä minun pääni täytät yhä edelleen |
(Markus)
conversation doesn't glide at our table I don't even remember the PIN you fill my head still even now |
|
(together)
tää on kerho särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin kanssa yksinäisten salaseura särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin et ole yksin et ole yksin |
(together)
this is the broken hearts club you are not alone among the lonely secret society of broken hearts you are not alone you are not alone you are not alone |
|
(Kaisa)
voit silmäkulmastas kyyneleet pyyhkii kun puoli kaupunkii puolestas nyyhkii ketä huijaat kun sanot kyllä tää tästä joka toinen etsii valoa pimeästä |
(Kaisa)
you wipe tears from the corner of your eye while half the town sobs for you who are you fooling when you say it will get better every second person is looking for light in the dark |
|
(Anna)
tää on kerho särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin kanssa yksinäisten (together) salaseura särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin |
(Anna)
this is the broken hearts club you are not alone among the lonely (together) secret society of broken hearts you are not alone |
|
(together)
tää on kerho särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin kanssa yksinäisten salaseura särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin |
(together)
this is the broken hearts club you are not alone among the lonely secret society of broken hearts you are not alone |
|
(together)
tää on kerho särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin kanssa yksinäisten salaseura särkyneiden sydänten et ole yksin et ole yksin et ole yksin et ole yksin en ole yksin et ole yksin |
(together)
this is the broken hearts club you are not alone among the lonely secret society of broken hearts you are not alone you are not alone you are not alone you are not alone I am not alone you are not alone |
Notes
Melody
As noted by lilli m, the keyboard melody in the beginning of the song bears some resemblance to the whistled opening to Dom Andra, a 2002 single from the Swedish alternative rock band Kent, which disbanded in 2016. If intentional, such a reference could be a sort of double homage, not only to Kent, but to Maustetytöt, who are known for their references and borrowing, including of at least one melody.
“who’s getting anything out of it”
Playing with the idiom “to rain into someone’s grain bin” (sataa jonkun laariin), meaning to provide a benefit or a windfall.
“last call just came too”
Literally, “the light signal just came on,” meaning lights were flashed to indicate that last orders are being taken.
“conversation doesn’t glide”
Meaning it doesn't flow, from the Finnish luistaa, meaning to slide surely, quickly, and with elegance. Maustetytöt used this same construction in one of their earliest songs; a longer explanation of it is under that song here.
“remember the PIN”
In Finland and most of Europe, a PIN is required whenever you pay with a card, including at a bar or restaurant.
Transcription/translation credits
Thanks lilli m for important correction to the tense in "whether I wanted it to or not" and for correcting the transcription of laughing, wiping tears from eyes, and the city sobbing.
