Ida Paul & Kalle Lindroth - Kun Tää Loppuu (When This Ends)

POETRY: Saima Harmaja: Sairas I-IV (Sick I-IV)

So I felt like translating some Finnish poems today.

---

I

The small stars in agony

take a look at the city line.

Today I'm so tired

for these silent pains of mine.

Once, long ago

I had a burning dream.

The waving stars in the sky 

dashed right on me.

It's been too long.

- Now I pray

that only for a moment

I could sleep today.

II

Only animals complain,

I don't get to.

The ground's a dark view.

And death creeps around

hunting for you.

I'm a human. Awful sobbing in my chest

and rustling, rustling steps I listen to.

I'm a human. Let God hear my heart screaming,

death, sneaking death may not hear it though.

III

Oh God, my broken wings

take them into your hands!

I've flown too far away,

I'm lost in these lands.

I've flown with victorious wings

dazzling through the air,

by a thousand solar systems,

I saw all, went everywhere.

Now on the edge of the last sky

and on the edge of the land of death

I only quietly shiver

and pray with my last breath.

IV

For so long, so long I laid this way,

drowsy head towards the light of day.

The clouds in the sky,

the forest all awry.

Since my first thoughts, already laid here,

my head towards the clouds that disappear.

Oh, are you dead, God,

I no longer long from the mud,

my broken wings don't shudder,

though I've seen the clouds ascend.

Oh God, am I already dead,

I don't care if the sun rises,

or if my eternal dusk falls

over my warm bed.
