... ballads for April

I´m feeling all lyrical... And because I enjoy using English even when not asked to (even though I don´t feel too confident about my grammar), I wanted to translate from Finnish to English the superb lyrics of the song by an awesome finnish band I´ve only recently discovered - Pariisin kevät. It would be shame if those who can´t speak Finnish would miss them.

Migrating to the South

Soon here will be no one
Let´s run away before the summer
For a while, same familiar faces and an overly small cottage
I´ve got too much of everything and
a tv-license
Here, nobody knows things could be better

Jump in and everything will still be viable
Let´s drive
Let´s escape like we were characters from a movie
Well, I don´t know, maybe everything is
needlessly usual
Let´s run away driving
Let´s now search for something to boot this life
Pretend we were migrating to the South

Soon here won´t be us either
Everything ends before the summer
Disappears, a familiar face and
by accident
one stares at me from the front seat next to me

Jump in and everything will still be viable
Let´s drive
Let´s escape like we were characters from a movie
Well, I don´t know, maybe everything is
needlessly usual
Let´s run away driving
Let´s now search for something to boot this life

Soon here will be no one
Let´s run away before the summer

Well, I don´t know, maybe everything is
still viable
Let´s run away driving
Let´s now search for something to boot this life
Pretend we were migrating

Pretend we were migrating to the South

I have a thing about domestic music right now. So, if you please excuse me, for translating also the next song by the same band.

Island

We stand hat in hand on the edge of the world
We wait for everything to stop by a billow
Maybe it´d be easier if it was easier to be
If thoughts were not hurricanes but shooting stars

When I close my eyes I hear a scream: Run
over the water to the lost island

Don´t look back, there is someone breathing down your neck
Dance, dance, do not fear as the Death shoes his horses

 When I close my eyes I hear a scream: Run

over the water to the lost island

God speaks to me on TV, street and car radio
I always take things seriously, though never actually care
I just want to love but don´t manage to lift my lids

When I close my eyes I hear a scream: Run

over the water to the lost island

And I start to run, but blood, it runs out of head down the veins

In the sky, the moon glows and reflects from the ice

Frequently, I have a bad feeling

I won´t survive 

life

I imagine I see beings of the spiritual world everywhere

The Reaper is chasing me, we always share company 

Maybe it´d be easier, if we could get to now each other just a little bit

But a voice in my head is warning: I may fall in love

And I start to run, but blood, it runs out of head down the veins

In the sky, the moon glows and reflects from the ice

Frequently, I have a bad feeling

I won´t survive 

life

Enough about the Finnish now, go no with the Universal (=English).

I haven´t seen Kill Bill (not aiming to, either), but I love the mystery of this song.

Simply brilliant.
