When Our Ship Comes In

A morning will dawn
When the shadows fly
And the whistling winds rest
Like a minute of stillness
Before the storm breaks out
The day our ship comes in
Like a well-aimed blow
Through waves and sea
Our ship will make the beach shake
Through the howl of the storm
You hear the roar of the waves
And the new day has awoken
 
Under the seagulls' box
Fish are swimming around
While the waves flow and roll
And every cliff on the land
Shows the way into the beach
The day our ship comes in
And all the words they have said
Catch us in their power
Sound suddenly like stories for children
And all the chains like bands
Just broke and disappeared
To the bottom of the deep ocean
 
And a song rises up
When the flag goes up to the top
And our ship glides into the beach
And the sun itself will stand
At attention in the blue
The day our ship comes in
And the sand of gold
Is like the softest wool
For our feet, tired of journey
And the smartest on board
Say 'Mark our words
Now they will see us in the whole wide world'
 
And our enemies will stand
Like newly-awakened fools
And not understand at all what is happening
And they will push each other
And not believe that it's real
The day our ship comes in
And they will fall on their knees
And yell 'Say what you demand'
But we will answer: 'Your fate is sealed'
And like Pharoah's court
They will be drowned by a wave
And like Goliath they will be conquered
 

Shooting Star

Versions: #1
On a lonely night with no stars around
When you sat hugging your knees
Trembling all alone
When you dreamed of the future
You lost sight of it and shed a tear
I’ll protect you
My love in my arms
I’ll protect you
Forever from any kind of sadness
 
I want to be the shooting star
The one who makes your wishes come true
I want to be the shooting star
The one and only throughout the world
And that’s you
 
By causing pain to one another
Our lonely hearts will grow stronger
If tomorrow doesn’t come into view
If you’re about to break down
Turn around and look this way
I want to tell you
How passionate I’ve been my love
I want to keep my eye on you
Forever by your side
 
I want to be the shooting star
The one who carries overflowing dreams
I want to be the shooting star
The girl with the brightest eyes in the world
And that’s you
 
I want to be the shooting star
The one who makes your wishes come true
I want to be the shooting star
The one and only throughout the world
And that’s you
 

Those were the times

[Chorus]
Do you still creep out somewhere at night
Wherever your steps take you, wherever
Think sometimes, will you find your way back here again
Cuz I miss you, I miss you
 
[Verse 1]
Those were the times when I couldn't sleep at night
Those were the times when all of us were poor
Those were the times when the summers were not hot
And those were the times when there were no walls at the borders
Except in Berlin, but we managed to overcome that too
Shall we go back in time or what the hell
Those were the times when things other than just the exterior meant something
When the waters were not full of fluoride, when the seas were not full of plastic
 
[Chorus]
Do you still creep out somewhere at night
Wherever your steps take you, wherever
Think sometimes, will you find your way back here again
Cuz I miss you, I miss you
 
[Verse 2]
Those were the times when I didn't attend school much
They were the times when I was hooked on you
And those were the times when I was on a strong upswing
Those years I was trapped, ready to quit the whole thing
If could travel back in time I would have the bags packed already
I could start all over, and do everything all over again
 
[Chorus]
Do you still creep out somewhere at night
Wherever your steps take you, wherever
Think sometimes, will you find your way back here again
Cuz I miss you, I miss you
 
I miss you
 

Spanish Boots

I will journey away, my most beloved friend
I will sail away from you tomorrow
Is there something I can send back to you
From the country to where I'm going
 
No, there's nothing you can send back to me
There's nothing I wish to be owning
Just that you come back here again
The same as when you left
 
But I thought that maybe you would want something fine
Made of silver or of gemstones
Either from the mountains around Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
 
Take the stars of the sky and take the gold of the mountains
Take the most beautiful pearls in the sea
I would exchange them for a kiss from you
It's the only thing I wish for you to give me
 
But I might be gone for a long time still
And I'm just asking
Is there nothing I can send that can remind you of me
And make your days less long?
 
How can you, how can you ask me again?
You know it only makes me sad
The same thing I want today
I will want again tomorrow
 
I got a letter, it was a clear autumn day
It was from the boat she's sailing
It said: 'I don't know when I'm coming back
It depends on how I'm feeling'
 
So if you, my most beloved, feel that way
Your thoughts have well started to wander
And you're not thinking about me anymore
But of the country to where you're going
 
So take the summer's heat and take the winter's cold
Take the early spring's wildest winds
Yes, there is maybe something you can send home to me:
Spanish boots of soft, Spanish leather
 

Hero of the Working Class

I leave the bar after the last call
I ride a bike through the city
To the night shift in Mäntyluoto
From the tower crane I can see the sea
Miss October smiles on the cab wall
My wife complains in the back of my head
Our neighbour Timo has thick hair
And he's won Finnish wrestling championship
 
A ship leaves for the Bahamas
Is it time for me to leave this evil land?
Would the ship take a normal man named Kari
A hero of the working class
Would anyone notice if Kari disappeared
A hero of the working class
 
The housing cooperative's olympics
Darts and wrestling
I fought my way to the final
Timo won my gold medal with a throw
 
A ship leaves for the Bahamas
Is it time for me to leave this evil land?
Would the ship take a normal man named Kari
A hero of the working class
Would anyone notice if Kari disappeared
A hero of the working class
 
My wife moved to the neighbours'
I moved to the tower crane mattress
The foghorns echo in the night
It's time to board the ship
 
Would the ship take a normal man named Kari
A hero of the working class
Would anyone notice if Kari disappeared
A hero of the working class
 

My Favorite Person/Amazing Man

Versions: #4
Sometimes I feel I don’t belong
On this ship in outer space
But if you were here on board
I would know that’d be bizarre
Even while stuck in traffic jams
Time passes fast with you
And those disgusting instant drinks
Taste like coffee from Hawaii
 
Oh I still don’t really know ya
Nothing to say when looking at you
And once the day is over and I’m feeling sad
I’ll grab your hand on this adventure
 
Chorus [x2]
You’re an amazing man
And that’s a compliment for knowing me so very well
With you I’m myself
So dreamy and crazy
(na na na na na na)
Thanks amazin’ man
I’m so glad we met
 
No one can ever know
Yet I know I can trust you
With this secret you must keep
My own Area 51
Sometimes life just comes around
And we’re in some stupid fight
But I just can’t be mad at you, for
More than 5 minutes at a time
 
If I’m upset you’ll instantly know
You’ll make me laugh, can’t hide it from you
Life just makes me wanna cry out loud
Yet I’m just fine when I am with you
 
Chorus
You’re an amazing man
And that’s a compliment for knowing me so very well
With you I’m myself
So dreamy and crazy
(na na na na na na)
Thanks amazin’ man
I’m so glad we met
 
The clock is ticking and we’re now growing up
On this polaroid photo, you and I were so young.
The last time we met was just ages ago
But now we’re here together like you were never gone
 
You’re an amazing man
And that’s a compliment for knowing me so very well
With you I’m myself
So dreamy and crazy
(na na na na na na)
Thanks amazin’ man
I’m so glad we met
 

Je ne parle pas français (I Don't Speak French)

Versions: #2
Somehow, I got lost
I have no plan where to go
Standing there with my little suitcase
Here at the Champs-Elysees
 
Suddenly you say to me:
'Hello, what are you looking for?'
I say: 'Excuse me, I'm sorry
Unfortunately, I can't understand you'
 
But you just keep speaking
I find it somehow charming
And I draw two cups of coffee
On your hand, with a pen
 
I don't speak French
But please, do keep talking
Everything you tell me
Sounds so nice somehow
 
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French,
But please, do keep talking
 
Your long, wild hair
The little scar on your face
Even the dust on your jeans
Has spirit, when you speak
 
The cigarette tastes like liberty
As long as we both share it
You talk to me in body language
And I read between the lines
 
I hang on your lips
I don't ever want to leave here
And you keep talking and talking
But I don't understand a word
 
I don't speak French
But please, do keep talking
Everything you tell me
Sounds so nice somehow
 
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French,
But please, do keep talking
 
The sun slips behind the houses
Ships go past us
And all that we want
Is for the moment to last forever
 
Thousands of people around us
They're all talking to each other
But the language, that we speak
Only we two understand
 
I don't speak French
But please, do keep talking
Everything you tell me
Sounds so nice somehow
 
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French,
But please, do keep talking
 

Kamikaze

By my moral sense decree
I enrolled as kamikaze.
With full bomb load I'm taking flight.
Fuel - just to reach my goal,
That the one I've my sights on,
And I plan to take it out tonight.
 
Nerves are stretched to the limit -
Die - but die in strong spirit.
So I go into my last steep dive.
Those who are at battle stations,
Starring up, without sensation,
Aware of their chances to survive!
 
Parachute was left at home,
On a green of airfield lawn.
Even if I wish to - it 's one-way trip.
Clouds now are inverted,
Forehead veins are all inflated,
Chest is squeezed in overloads grip.
 
Sky is crowded with tracers,
I'm diving like a razor,
Special beauty is in my flight.
Life is ending in three seconds,
No regrets and no blessings,
Trees will blossom at my home site!
 
No, they will not be back in port.
This is it. I'm touching board.
And dilated pupils will return
All my long way to the goal -
One, that I've my sights on.
I'll save others even if I'll burn!
 
There is reason with your roll
To claim somebody's soul,
And to give yours back in return.
There is reason to reach the goal -
One that I've my sights on,
Just because others had to keep living on!
 

Deported

A sound is approaching, it says: what is it brother, what has happened,
what's the situation,
how turmoiled and bleak,
How they scream and appealed for help,
who is dead in the fountain
Another sound said:
You are dead, you have no name, no brother
But there are deported ones, they are deporting neighbours.
 

Pape Plane

The rich just grow richer,while the poor stand in the bread line
Being born in Finland is like winning five euros in the lottery*
A single parent is on the metro commuting home from work
While the child uses the eviction notice to make a paper plane
 
We're together on the internet, alone in real life
Few answers, many questions
We give Sipilä a statue
The welfare state is breaking suicide records
No, I carry a lantern to your grave
And I carry the world on my shoulders as long as I am able
Who will serve your last meal
When you're surrounded by snakes and various reptiles (No)
Money can buy material things
You can't love money, for money is just paper (No)
But that feeling
It pushes you down, never give up
This is the last day before tomorrow
If you can't get up from the chair
Stop it, don't continue drinking
You'll find no answers in the pint, no
 
The rich just grow richer, while the poor stand in the bread line
Being born in Finland is like winning five euros in the lottery*
A single parent is on the metro commuting home from work
While the child uses the eviction notice to make a paper plane
A paper plane, a paper plane
 
The bills are unpaid, your account is empty
Nothing is well, there's no such thing
And in the streets something supposedly taught you
It's heads or tails like a double win
So did I escape or would I have been trapped
When I look back I see how we got here
You have to go far back to see close
I've been running for years, now I'm learning to walk
I feel bad, how bad are you feeling?
Some drown in the lake, others drown in the bottle
You return from work, you do the same thing every week
In the evenings you cry because the kids don't get weekly pocket money
You wake up before the newspaper, the wind blows through the window
You put duct tape on it, everything fucking sucks
I feel like I'm about to fall
I've been tired and I'll come back when I have the strength
 
The rich just grow richer, while the poor stand in the bread line
Being born in Finland is like winning five euros in the lottery*
A single parent is on the metro commuting home from work
While the child uses the eviction notice to make a paper plane
A paper plane (a paper plane), a paper plane (a paper plane)
While the child uses the eviction notice to make a paper plane
A paper plane (stop the paper plane), a paper plane (a paper plane)
 

Mika's dad's BMW

Versions: #2
Lauri, after all these years
Called to ask
'Should we get the gang together?
We haven't seen in ages
And do you remember that beemer
The dude still has it
Why wouldn't we go to the city?
Do all the things just like before
 
And so once again I sit
Onto the bench of an old BMW
Mika's driving of course
It's his dad's car
Mika's the most quiet one of us
Lauri's the loudest
Rami's a pedigree maniac
I'm the romantic
 
chorus:
Mika's dad's BMW's
Wheels roll once again
It drives the old gang
To party once more
Mika's dad's BMW's
Wheels roll once again
Even though everything's right
Nothing's the same anymore
 
The last time we met
With Rami, we sure fought a lot
Now he pats my back
'It's so nice to see my old friend'
Mika's still quiet
Rumors tell that he got
HIV from his wife
But no one asks about it
And Lauri's now a businessman
Maybe he's making millions, who knows
Before he didn't drink at all
Now he's the first of us slurring
And cursing his shitty life
Saying he doesn't have the power to continue
And everyone's quiet
So unusually quiet
 
chorus
 
We did have a lot of fun though
Went to all the places we used to go
Many of them just don't exist anymore
Even the music hall grows hay these days
The night got an deserved ending
When Rami hit on a horrible hag
We yelled after each other
'We have to do this again'
A week after this
I saw Mika at the town
Tears in his eyes
He said: 'Lauri took his own life'
He was found yesterday
Lauri was found dead
No messages
Nothing
 
chorus
Never ever
Will anything be the same

Nadja

Nadja
who has taken your mittens
Nadja
what has happened with your shoe
While the flakes fall
while the shadows grow
is there something that drips
that is sticky as blood
 
Najda
have you finished playing already
Nadja
is the fun finished
You aren't allowed to belong
In the new Europe
And what is it that is running
from your torn blouse
 
Najda
who has taken your summers
Who has taken your springs
Who has stolen your time
Nadja
who fired on your dreams
Who buried your aspirations
Who has taken your life
 
Najda
where are all the wise ones
those who control and decide
those who say, they know
Nadja
where are all the strong ones
all those who rule
They want to see nothing.
 
Najda
there is no one who answers
Nadja
there is no one who hears
While the flakes fall
in the new Europe
there is a spot of blood that grows
while the dreams die.
 

Butterfly

I don't belong
I don't belong anymore to the sky
My soul can't remember. I'm searching for it
To dream
But my memory is sleeping
 
My breath is like a cell
She's imprisoning imagination
A life of wish. A breath
On a world that doesn't matter
 
I can't stand
I can't stand this silence anymore
A rock, a butterfly
Without music, without being there
I saw them preparing the party
 
And I keep hoping for a tomorrow
But I'm fooling myself
Yes, I'm fooling me
And I follow
Steps written by time
 
My breath is like a cell
She's imprisoning imagination
A life of wish. A breath
On a world that doesn't matter
 
I don't belong
I don't belong anymore to the sky
My soul can't remember. I'm searching for it
To dream
But my memory is sleeping
 

The Home

I have been and taken a blow again
at a home for people like me
They said, I needed to rest for a while
then everything should be fine
But I sleep with open eyes
and I rest with open mouth
And as widely I understand it is the opposite
that it becomes worse every second
 
LalalalaAlala..
 
The head nurse asks me nicely
'How are we today?'
I don't know at all how I feel
but she doesn't look like she feels good
So when I bow and whisper
that I feel well as I must feel
then she nods happily and gives me a laugh
and pretends like she understands
 
LalalalaAlala...
 
Today is tomorrow and yesterday is today
And there is nothing that differs them
If I have been here a month or many years
I can scarcely remember
But it is nothing, if one wishes for
something, one should want to get
they will come tomorrow, you will see
or it probably ended yesterday
 
LalalalaAlala..
 
Yes, in here everything is normal
which is abnormal outside
Therefore you must look and go carefully with
everything which you don't do.
when one plays in their game
and plays along in their game
Because in here, like there outside
the right is most often wrong
 
LalalalaAlala...
 

What Troubles

What really troubles man
When he no longer can tolerate liquor
Did you exchange the soda for a disco
Are you on the way to a soda-disco1
 
Why can't the Finnish man tolerate
That someone else only drinks water
I will torture you until
You too succumb to liquor
 
I guess you're a teetotaler
Since you don't like the taste of liquor
Hey, let's booze a little bit
Let's mess up your head
 
Why can't the Finnish man tolerate
That someone else only drinks water
I will torture you until
You too succumb to liquor
 
What really troubles man
When he no longer can tolerate liquor
Did you exchange the soda for a disco
Are you on the way to a soda-disco
 
Would you drink yourself nice
When you're sober, you're a total nazi
I give you a shot liquor
You're even nice, this is a start
 
Why can't the Finnish man tolerate
That someone else only drinks water
I will torture you until
You too succumb to liquor
 

• 1. A disco dance where only non-alcoholic beverages are served

Lighthouse

If only I could, help you out
Both of my hands, are lend out to you
(If only I could)
Be your lighthouse in the dark
A ray of light, little sister
(Come)
 
You seem different lately
Following blindly after him
Maybe, you should open up your eyes
On the sidewalk, in a sunny afternoon
You used to play Hopscotch and ride bikes
Now, you burn your own brain
 
If only I could, help you out
Both of my hands, are lend out to you
(If only I could)
Be your lighthouse in the dark
A ray of light, little sister
(Come)
 
We can hear the pain in your rolling laughter
We can see how the fear is raging over you
You should stop running away from yourself
Mom is waiting for you, standing at the window
Once you were the biggest dream in her eyes
Now, she has no strength left
 
If only I could, help you out
Both of my hands, are lend out to you
(If only I could)
Be your lighthouse in the dark
A ray of light, little sister
(Come)
 

This is not my home

Versions: #3
If this was our home, no-one would own the forests
The facts can't be seen, let me open up this text
In 2020 there'll be more plastic in the ocean than fish
The climate changed already, why are you waking up just now
Let's get back to the nature
When did this go back to the humans versus animals -fight
Look outside, you may catch the feeling too
There's nothing but grey out there, where have all the colors gone
 
Everything they've taught to us in schools is a lie
We're exploring the space so we could ruin another planet
It's getting cold in here, soon we'll realize
That we're late to make a change and still not everyone wants it
We're choosing sides, are we from east or west
And then we act as if we didn't belong in here
This is not a home, this is a money making machine
We still haven't realized that not everyone has the same skin color
 
Let me go already
I open the door, not catching my breath
Let me go already
I don't belong in here after all
This is not my home
This is not my home
 
They claim that I always know it all
But in my eyes this is just a different-kind of world
The world for me is that one group of people
I was falling, they still held onto me
I know that many of you have a good heart
But now it's time for all of us to stop
Look around you, thank for what you have - thank you
That's how to change yourself in a week
 
Help the ones who can't do anything but hide
And give from your own if they don't have anything
It's not an option to just walk by them
I realized it when my end was near
More love, less wars
When I die, I'll just go back home
They won't learn anything so I can't stay here
Neither do I fit here, this is not my home
 
Let me go already
I open the door, not catching my breath
Let me go already
I don't belong in here after all
This is not my home
This is not my home
This is not my home
This is not my home
 
Let me go already
I open the door, not catching my breath
Let me go already
I don't belong in here after all
This is not my home

Everything that matters

81 years are given to me here
50- hour working week
I smile 13 Minutes a day
Taking 1,5 kids in average
and 45.000 brutto in year.
 
Is that everything that matters?
Somehow I cannot feel it.
Everything that matters?
I can never with numbers...
And always when the day runs over me
I notice how much I miss you.
I believe everything that matters,
cannot be counted.
 
The watch has counted every step.
Tells me I should go, otherwise it gets too late
and reminds me to stay tuned, to drink water.
I have searched the word 'meaning' seven times
and Amazon recommends me that book.
But where is the meaning when we don't see each other?
 
Is that everything that matters?
Somehow I cannot feel it.
Everything that matters?
I can never with numbers...
And always when the day runs over me
I notice how much I miss you.
I believe everything that matters,
cannot be counted.
 
They have broken down on me
Six senses and 212 bones.
Tell me, when the heart stops beating, who will calculate the worth?
They have broken down on me.
30 billion cells and 212 bones.
But that one heart beats and lasts for more.
 
Is that everything that matters?
Somehow I cannot feel it.
Everything that matters?
I can never with numbers...
And always when the day runs over me
I notice how much I miss you.
I believe everything that matters,
cannot be counted.
 
And always when the day runs over me
I notice how much I miss you.
I believe everything that matters,
cannot be counted.
 

This Girl's a Scorpio

Well, this girl's a Scorpio!
Go ahead, laugh all you want!
You only want to fool around,
But I'll make you follow me into the depths of hell.
If I decide on something,
I'll risk my very life for it!
That's right, this girl's a Scorpio--
And Scorpio is an all-or-nothing sign.
 
Well, this girl's a Scorpio!
Pitiful boy, go ahead and laugh!
You didn't bother to try to understand the ways of a woman's heart,
You deceived her, dishonored her, and hurt her!
But you'll see that you're the one
Who's the fool--
That's right, this girl's a Scorpio,
And Scorpio poison works slowly!
 
Here, look, your tea is getting cold, go on!
There's no poison or anything in it!
And even if I'm bluffing,
I'm still a woman, you know!
That's right, this girl's a Scorpio
And Scorpio is an all-or-nothing sign.
 
Happy to take requests for Japanese music in particular :)

The Maiden and the Wind

The wind softly whispered
And caressed the arms of the orchard
A maiden in a white handkerchief
Spoke her heart out onto the garden
 
She told of waves and skies
That kiss one another out in the open
And of a laughing sun in the water
Prancing around with her golden rays
 
And again the wind hummed joyfully
And pampered the sleeping buds
Thus it glided between a leaf and an apple
As the twilight settled upon the orchard
 
The moon rose in the meantime
And smiled at the redness of the sun
And it wrapped the entire skies
And with a silver glow it floated
 
The maiden also told of a boy
And thought she might've heard his footsteps
Quickly she skipped from furrow to furrow
But it was just the naughty wind
 
But it was just the naughty wind
But it was just the naughty wind
But it was just the naughty wind
 

Jokela

Back home from opera to think what I did today
People are confused and I open my marker
I paint my thoughts to the wall
How the world is horrible and will fall on its wings and
How people want so much to hurt other people
Even animals are more human than us
And we believe it all, the whole Finland has been lied to
Media's the one controlling, we have been forgotten
Nobody knows where to go but still advances
Everyone's in hurry and that's why they close
Thoughts inside them, I'm trying to be brave
Everyone has dreams and everyone has sorrows
Small words and a tear to Jokela
What does this teach, everyone can think about that
Think to these all deceased friends of ours
We're lighting candles for Tuusula's tragedy
 
Guns kill, words hurt
God will bring peace to the world
So many young people have ended up dead already
So many young people couldn't be helped early
 
I want to help
To change, convert the direction our world's heading to
I don't want to scream but will light candles
I dont want to cry, I'm trying to live with this
 
Then happiness stops, you're not safe in your own home
Because even a home can be hollow
And why are you people closing your eyes from this
When you know very well what this looks like
Your helping hand is not needed
The only thing they lost were families, friends and loved ones
Poor children who have to go through this all
Too much thoughts to forget
Of course the noise about this will die down
Our country's trying to pass the burden to others
Money to their pockets, nothing else in their minds
The country of Finland is pathetic nonetheless
Nothing is safe anymore
People shoot at schools and it is popular
Young people take example and think this is right
'I can do this if he did it too'
 
Guns kill, words hurt
God will bring peace to the world
So many young people have ended up dead already
So many young people couldn't be helped early
 
I want to help
To change, convert the direction our world's heading to
I don't want to scream but will light candles
I dont want to cry, I'm trying to live with this
 
World's history full of karma
Eight murders on the lists
Innocent lives were taken for nothing
People's lives were taken for nothing
People's who tried to learn how to become a good citizen
A normal day turned into a nightmare all of sudden
What are you gonna do, how will you stop this
You have to protect your own family from other people's bad choices
And these faces tell more than thousand words could ever tell
No one can ever experience the same as them
Someone wants murder, someone wants revenge
You can buy guns in Finland just like that
Guns kill, take them away from my world
Guns revenge as much as you wish
Guns make anyone a murderer
Spread peace, that's enough daring
 
Guns kill, words hurt
God will bring peace to the world
So many young people have ended up dead already
So many young people couldn't be helped early
 
I want to help
To change, convert the direction our world's heading to
I don't want to scream but will light candles
I dont want to cry, I'm trying to live with this
 
Guns kill, words hurt
God will bring peace to the world
So many young people have ended up dead already
So many young people couldn't be helped early
 
I want to help
To change, convert the direction our world's heading to
I don't want to scream but will light candles
I dont want to cry, I'm trying to live with this

Snow made an angel to the doorway

Versions: #2
This story died when mom and dad broke up in the 90's
About the same time mom's father died of heart attack
I was crushed in school, we broke hearts
Nobody brought roses to the doorway
It was the end when dad went to jail
He couldn't run from the cops
Mom left to Siberia, she did nothing else than was against communism
Just being here is hard sometimes
Sometimes you're hurt by everything that's relevant to you
Sometimes it's hard to believe in God
I'm not sure if He's real
They say that the most important thing here is to be happy
And we laughed, but not for too long
When the song we sang to you in your funeral
Went like this:
 
And the water was black, mom wore a black dress
And the priest got coffee to drink
And dad was drunk, how else could've it been
Snow made an angel to the doorway
 
I remember when I walked by Vantaanjoki as a kid
I wondered what it feels like to drown
There has been times and stuff to think about
So much I've just wanted to fall asleep
It's familiar to many of us
I respect all of them
To everyone who tries to survive no matter how much it hurts
This only happens in movies
Or in August, so the ones stands out
Would have no problems
It's dark inside my head, no-one sees it
The only thought I have is wrong, the second one is the extremity
I've met thousands of sweet, suicidal girls
Guys just don't want to open up
And I, myself, understand that now
That the time you lose will never come back
I stood on the bridge, there was fog in the air
I thought of jumping but the water was black
 
And the water was black, mom wore a black dress
And the priest got coffee to drink
And dad was drunk, how else could've it been
Snow made an angel to the doorway
 
And the water was black, mom wore a black dress
And the priest got coffee to drink
And dad was drunk, how else could've it been
Snow made an angel to the doorway

Je ne parle pas français (Remix)

Versions: #2
[Intro: Namika]
Ey, ey, ey, ah-ah
Ey, ey, ey, ey
 
[Verse One: Namika]
Somehow, I've got lost,
I have no idea where I'm going,
Standing with my little suitcase,
Here at the Champs-Élysées
Suddenly you speak to me,
'(Hi, what are you looking for?)'
I say, 'Pardon me, I'm sorry,
Unfortunately I don't understand!'
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But you're still talking,
Somehow I find it charming,
And paint 2 cups of coffee,
With the pen in your hand.
 
[Chorus: Namika]
I don't speak French,
But please carry on.
Everything you're saying,
Sounds somehow nice.
And time simply stills still,
I wish I understood you,
I don't speak French
But please carry on.
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
[Verse 2: Black M (in French)]
Hey Miss, I don't speak German.
Come I'm gonna show you what is the French Touch is,
Give me your hand we start with a step,
Quick, it's faster here, Parisians have no time,
Trust me I'm your Aladdin,
The jealous say that I'm only good for the bullshit,
Come on, you and me we'll walk,
Stop! Close your eyes there's a crowd,
Yes, Paris is magic but Paris is also dark.
The contrast between Pigalle and the Arc,
I ain't gonna lie, everything here is pink,
That there are only flowers that are waiting to be watered.
I have no accent, but I like you.
Do you understand what I must explain,
You are charming like my city.
I'll see you like it is in my life.
 
[Pre Chorus 2: Black M]
I don't speak German.
But like you I feel the people,
Come we talk there's nothing bad,
I'll drop you off on the Champs.
 
[Chorus: Namika]
I don't speak French,
But please carry on.
Everything you're saying,
Sounds somehow nice.
And time simply stills still,
I wish I understood you,
I don't speak English
But please carry on.
 
[Post-Refrain: Namika]
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
 
[Bridge: Namika]
The sun drops behind the houses,
Ships are passing by,
And all we want,
That this moment stays something,
A thousand people around us,
They speak to each other,
But the language that we speak,
They only understand us two.
 
[Chorus: Namika]
I don't speak French,
But please carry on.
Everything you're saying,
Sounds somehow nice.
And time simply stills still,
I wish I understood you,
I don't speak French
But please carry on.
 
[Chorus: Namika]
I don't speak French,
But please carry on.
Everything you're saying,
Sounds somehow nice.
And time simply stills still,
I wish I understood you,
I don't speak French
But please carry on.
 
[Post-Refrain: Namika]
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
 

To the light

I ran away from the real world
As you change TV channels
An unseen rule ties me
Though I don’t know the meaning of liberty yet
 
I wanted to make sure the future only for me
I aroused the hidden sun, for I can’t stop going
 
Go to the light
I want to hold the hottest passion in my heart
Wherever I go, it would shine a distant dream
Go to the light
I hold the strength to cut off every chagrin
I get over every dawn
To find my own existence
 
This trip would not be over
Even someone admit it
This extended hand would go to sleep
With the result of repeated process
 
I can’t lie to the unchanging pride
There is a place I want to get even I lose
 
Go to the light
I can’t be an obedient adult
I want to believe in me even they laugh
Go to the light
I can’t reset my youth again
I try hard not to say excuses
 
I wanted to make sure the future only for me
I aroused the hidden sun, for I can’t stop going
 
Go to the light
I want to hold the hottest passion in my heart
Wherever I go, it would shine a distant dream
Go to the light
I hold the strength to cut off every chagrin
I get over every dawn
To find my own existence
 

Hold me

Been wrong in many things
The same girl in all the stories
Much to consider in my own choices
Had many friends, few of them gone
What success brings
Nobody told me either
Old mates are like they don't even know you
Every time you fall, you have to get back up
Life has kicked and given a lot
The spotlight has had a shadow also
I have stayed up nights, slept days
I have read comments, drowned in them
I myself am mad too, mad too
I have done wrong, dirtied my hands too
I have been young too and age hasn't ruined anything
Devil has been on the door, I haven't sold my soul
 
Hold me
Never let go
Hold me
Never let go
 
This song takes me back
I miss your jokes
Those times were pretty
I was right, girl you are a star
Then you fell in love with another
I fell in love with rap
And everything that happened, happened so fast
It was that first kiss of mine
I close my eyes and live it again
I was a kid from Malmi who has a dream
Hey don't wake me up from a dream
Don't ever try to change me
It would be useless
The past year was suffering for me
I'm the guy for you although we didn't even know each other
 
Hold me
Never let go
 
This is what I hated yesterday
What I love today
Hey what is this to you
Other than when should we meet
When I write for us
I write in here
And I write for you
You right there
Hold me
 
Hold me
Never let go
Hold me
Never let go
 

There is no worry

Around me are broken souls
You can't see outward what's rampaging inside
All of us have feelings that might boil over
The things that you're hiding, it secretly takes you
They say that I'm an asshole, head filled with fog
But I'm here if you need someone to talk to
I'm The Man, you can always trust me
And I'll stay, I promise you won't drown
 
There is no worry, no
I'll keep you on the surface
There is no worry, no
I'll stand by you
There is no worry
Although everyone else fades, I'll stay
I'll stay, there is no worry
There is no worry
I'll keep you on the surface
There is no worry, no
I'll stand by you
There is no worry
When no one else sees inside you
I see, there is no worry
 
I believe in today and in tomorrow too
I do this to the half a humans
The more we get lost from the truth, the more we judge it
Is anyone of use a whole
If you are today, are you anymore tomorrow
If you are a little, is it even a half
And if we see or don't see in many years
I promise to you, I promise to you
 
There is no worry, no
I'll keep you on the surface
There is no worry, no
I'll stand by you
There is no worry
Although everyone else fades, I'll stay
I'll stay, there is no worry
There is no worry
I'll keep you on the surface
There is no worry, no
I'll stand by you
There is no worry
When no one else sees inside you
I see, there is no worry
 
There is no worry
I'll keep you on the surface
There is no worry, no
I'll stand by you
There is no worry
When no one else sees inside you
I see, there is no worry
 

Rock Bill Scissors

Rock bill1 scissors
I've played for so long that I understand
That money money money
Money money
Can never beat my love for this genre
 
Let's go
I stand out from the crowd and talk about life like I'd lived through more than one
Represent the new era
Change the world by believing in your dreams
Contracts were broken
Not making a deal with the devil here
A sturdy foundation, yeah
My bible is still red brick
We are the truth and when I shoot I hit
This is my cross, I wear my piece of jewelry with pride
They didn't tell me why, they're just waiting for the next scandal
But my heart is in this game and that's why this is never ending
 
I closed my eyes because I couldn't see my dreams
And covered my ears so that I could focus on business
Rock bill scissors
I've played for so long that I understand that money money money
Can never beat my love for this genre
Rock bill scissors
 
If you're ready to work for it
You can join the crew
Rap game is Talvivaara2 for the juniors
They're looking for uranium
You can't mine skills on the net
Thugs aren't trained in chats
There used to be strict codes and hierarchies
Nobody follows them anymore
Rock already in my pocket3 before digital bills
I've always been a man of culture
Elaaksis4 is taking rocky to the grave
A rocky road from circles to the screen
If money is your motive, try lottoing
And you'll make profit faster
Here's some motto for those seagulls5
I love this game
 
Rock bill scissors
I've played for so long that I understand
That money money money
Can never beat my love for this genre
 
Rock scissors bingo
I eat your babies like a coyote
Who's the king
Rappers are hungry until somebody signs them but can't brother to grind, rollos on the dingo
PlayStation, use your brains
I don't make money, it's illegal
Rapping a detached house inside Ring One6
And after that?
I rap more
I have scissors, Sax Fifth Avenue
He is stupid, it's not his fault
Always keep the back door open
You can't buy the homesickness away
Two, but not a children's copy paste
I count twenty toes
I got rid of that shitty attitude at the latest when I
 
I closed my eyes
Because I couldn't see my dreams
And covered my ears
So that I could focus on business
 
Rock bill scissors
I've played for so long that I understand
That money money money
Can never beat my love for this genre

When you leave

If we rose from the bottom,
then we will rise from the ground too.
About where the heart is,
there is a bandage.
You’re enjoying that for me this is like sitting a life imprisonment,
these wounds you have caused, I tear open.
All of this is useless without you, without you this is impossible.
I murder myself without, without you I’m faceless.
And you’re not here anymore, anymore.
Yeah, I can’t get oxygen, I can’t even breathe,
I’m pulling these buttons so I’d stay alive.
Walk a day in my shoes and you’ll see that
I’m not ready to lose you, to no one, and still not.
I have to get myself together,
give me a provoking one.
 
Yeah, when you leave,
I can’t sleep,
it makes me go crazy.
Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah, when you leave,
I can’t sleep,
it makes me go crazy.
 
I would like to stay by your side,
because I got something that no one yet had.
Now we’re seducing,
thinking about these moments together, apart.
You’re in Levi,
and I’m on my way,
but I’m not even there yet.
What are you saying,
that we only get to see eachother when we have time?
Why did you lie to me?
Held a ball on my foot.
Made me,
trample you down.
I told you to stop,
why aren’t these mistakes teaching,
why don’t I let you go?
 
Yeah, when you leave,
I can’t sleep,
it makes me go crazy.
Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah, when you leave,
I can’t sleep,
it makes me go crazy.
 

Nothing

A hundred gigs a year, boy, you know nothing about that
Three bitches in my room, boy, you know nothing about that
A golden record on my wall, boy, you know nothing about that
The level we're on, boy, you know nothing about that

Levels, levels, levels, levels
These words are not actions but these actions are words
You know how to die but not how to live
You know how to hate but not how we do it
All we need to do is blow your walls down

How out of it do you have to be to not get it?
How we do this shit in Miami
And I'm still the one who can't rap, right?
2014 we'll see about that
 
A hundred gigs a year, boy, you know nothing about that
Three bitches in my room, boy, you know nothing about that
A golden record on my wall, boy, you know nothing about that
The level we're on, boy, you know nothing about that
 

My Youth

She had brown hair with black eyes
We grew up together
I ignored her in the mirror
I didn't like that we looked like each other
 
She annoyed me with her
Insolent little girl's face
I let her hang out by herself
I was ashamed she stuck by me this much
 
I see her flying away
Like a well-behaved child
Who only obeys
And turns pages
 
Now I'd really have
All of my time for her
I, who never
Thought her so beautiful
 
To look older than her
I used to change my voice
It's true, I thought she was
Too young for me
 
Without a word, like that
She changes her address
And here she flies away
My youth
 
With another on me
Younger, obviously
She runs away
Once again
He won't keep her very long
 
I see her flying away
Like a well-behaved child
Who only obeys
And turns pages
 
Now I'd really have
All of my time for her
I, who never
Thought her so beautiful
 
To look older than her
I used to change my voice
It's true, I thought she was
Too young for me
 
To look older than her
I used to change my voice
It's true, I thought she was
Too young for me
 
Without a word, like that
She changes her address
And here she flies away
My youth
 
Oh, and here she flies away, my youth
 

Diamonds

When stars turn into diamonds
The night isn't finished yet
You can always go back home
Or you can rise on the air without wings
 
We are eternal like diamonds
And endless like space
On the sea like pirates
Supposedly really precisely kept secret
Close your eyes
So the world will open
And the night will end
When you want it to
I make mistakes
You have to prepare for that
But I don't regret them
I have made
The imposibble possible
I've been quiet even though
I had things to say
Have been always before you
No one to catch me
I've gotten everything
To lose it
Who
Sways your tower
I'm nothing, can't give up
Always have to defend the smaller/weaker/younger ones
(and always have to defend the smaller)
 
When stars turn into diamonds
The night isn't finished yet
You can always go back home
Or you can rise on the air without wings
The world is calling but whatever
Close your eyes like your flying
 
I'm going through the stages of my life
Everyone has some bad vibes sometimes
The world creates pressures for us
You have to keep up your reputation
For me my home is on the stage
I'll do this when I'm broken
I had a break
Lights in fron of me
And the darkness behind me
More love
Less rebellion
And you can
Read my story from the stars
Every choice you make is the last
This flame won't dim
Keep on going, give me more
Nothing has broke me
The worst thing that could happen is
That nothing happened
 
When stars turn into diamonds
The night isn't finished yet
You can always go back home
Or you can rise on the air without wings
The world is calling but whatever
Close your eyes like your flying
 
This world is
Weird sometimes
Sometimes you dont have a head and a tail (a finnish saying, meaning things don't make sense)
If everyone lands on their feet
And everyone gets along
Evn though I have this dream
I'm holding on to it
The future
You can see it from the stars
 
When stars turn into diamonds
The night isn't finished yet
You can always go back home
Or you can rise on the air without wings
The world is calling but whatever
Close your eyes like your flying
 

The Neighbors Will Hear

Hola, mami

I'll conquer the world, I'll start a rebellion
But I'm the kind that goes forward, not backward

And they're yelling at our faces, I say si si
Take it easy, take it easy
Next summer, you too will be looping ths song

The neighbors are at the gates
And I'm giving them tortillas
But they're not amused
When we've got a party on your property
Hey mamacita
Hey chicks, stuff will be happening at the back yard, ay
Stay low
Watch out when I'm banging on the bass drum, hello
 
When we fight, we fight so that the neighbors will hear
We make up so that the neighbors will hear
Let's end this vendetta
Let's let the past be in the past
We'll party so that the neighbors will hear
