For My Pain...

Joutsenlaulu (translation)

For My Pain...


Joutsenlaulu = Swan Song

Again I see those children on the yard, 
In front of your window they are playing 
Again I see you behind the window, where you are staring still 

Your dreams fly beyond all those years, 
Every day those memories return into your mind 
They are searching for the one, who would sing the swansong 

Those moments from cradle to grave 
They make someone to believe in god.. 
someone to believe in satan..but no-one to believe in this world 

You also found it once..the love, which last half of the century 
It was so easy for you to be happy that time 

What can you do now, when your children have left out from the nest 
You have only those old photos, which you are browsing over and over again 

I guess you might not need my pity, 
because it does not ease your pain 
Your pain is the writer of this song 
and it catch up with everyone on its' way 

You find your sorrow veil, 
which you needed to wear five years ago 
And at that time the swansong made you cry..made you cry 

So much you would like to be like in those good old days, 
when you wore the white wedding veil 
..but it has been already buried by the dust of time..just like you today 

I still would like to try 
to keep my head above the surface of the water 
when the river starts to flood and washes everything away 

Once again you're closer to your death... 
But the pain will never fade 
Your pain is the writer of this song 
and it catch up with everyone on its' way
