There are places I'll remember
                        All my life though some have changed
                        Some forever not for better
                        Some have gone and some remain
                        All these places have their moments
                        With lovers and friends I still can recall
                        Some are dead and some are living
                        In my life I've loved them all


                        But of all these friends and lovers
                        There is no one compares with you
                        And these memories lose their meaning
                        When I think of love as something new
                        Though I know I'll never lose affection
                        For people and things that went before
                        I know I'll often stop and think about them
                        In my life I love you more


                        Though I know I'll never lose affection
                        For people and things that went before
                        I know I'll often stop and think about them
                        In my life I love you more
                        In my life I love you more

                        I thought that this new love
                        Could push you out of my mind
                        Calming my pain
                        But these caresses from a stranger
                        Are killing me
                        They are not your lips
                        They are not your kisses


                        Two unknown arms embrace me
                        And I close my eyes thinking
                        About you, only about you
                        And I feel your soul very close to mine
                        I live thinking about you, about you.

                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan?
                        Sain kaksi silmää ja kun ne vain avaan
                        erotan tarkkaan valosta varjon
                        yön avaruuden ja tähtisen taivaan,
                        ja ihmispaljoudesta hahmon rakkaan.


                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan,
                        kun herkin korvin öin päivin kuulen
                        sirinät kaskaan ja kanarialinnun,
                        vasaran kalkkeen, sadekuuron, koiran haukun
                        ja oman rakkaimpani äänen hellän.


                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan,
                        kun sain oman äänen ja sain kielen aarteen,
                        kun sain selvän järjen ja sanojen voiman,
                        äidin, ystävän, veljen, sain valon hohteen,
                        sen joka rakkaimpani teitä ohjaa.


                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan,
                        kun uupunein jaloin sain taivalta taittaa,
                        rapakot tarvoin ja kaupungit kiersin,
                        rannikot, vuoret, karun autiomaan helteet
                        ja sinun pihallesi viimein päädyin.


                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan?
                        Sydämen sainhan pakahtuvan täyden!
                        Kun aivojen voiman näen hedelmää luovan
                        ja kun pahuus haihtuu, kun hyvyys sen voittaa,
                        kun näen silmiesi loiston kirkkaan.


                        Miten voin kyllin kiittää elämää rikkaudestaan?
                        Sain siltä itkun ja sain siltä naurun.
                        Onnen ja tuskan eron niin huomaan
                        ja niistä pystyn oman lauluni luomaan,
                        sen jota kaikki luovat kaikkialla,
                        laulun, jota luodaan kaikkialla.

                        (suom. Pentti Saaritsa)

                        There was a boy
                        a very strange enchanted boy,
                        they say he wandered very far, very far,
                        over land and sea,
                        a little shy
                        and sad alike,
                        but very wise was he.


                        And then one day,
                        a magic day he passed my way
                        and while we spoke of many things,
                        fools and kings,
                        this he said to me,
                        the greatest thing
                        you'll ever learn
                        is just to love and be loved (in return).

                       Desperado, why dont you come to your senses?
                       You been out ridin' fences for so long now
                       Oh, youre a hard one
                       I know that you got your reasons
                       These things that are pleasin' you
                       Can hurt you somehow


                       Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
                       She'll beat you if shes able
                       You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet


                       Now it seems to me, some fine things
                       Have been laid upon your table
                       But you only want the ones that you cant get


                       Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
                       Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
                       And freedom, oh freedom well,
                       that's just some people talkin'
                       Your prison is walking through this world all alone


                       Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
                       The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
                       Its hard to tell the night time from the day
                       You're loosing all your highs and lows
                       Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?


                       Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
                       Come down from your fences, open the gate
                       It may be rainin', but theres a rainbow above you
                       You better let (it) love you, before its too late

                       Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
                       are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
                       and you must treat it as a powerful stranger.
                       You must ask permission to know it and be known.
                       The forest breathes. Listen.

                       It answers, I have made this place around you.
                       If you go away, You may come back again, saying Here.
                       No two trees are the same to Raven.
                       No two branches are the same to Wren.
                       If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
                       You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
                       where you are. You must let it find you.

                       I turn to you, oh God, so that you will give me
                       what I cannot obtain myself.
                       Give me what is left with you,
                       What no one ever asks you for.

                       I ask you not for rest nor security,
                       Neither of the soul nor the body.

                       I ask you not for wealth
                       not for success nor sanctity.
                       So many have asked you for all that,
                       that you must be weary.

                       Give me, oh God, what is left with you
                       what no one ever asks you for.

                       I want risk and restlessness,
                       I want torment and battle.
                       And I want you, God, to give them to me once
                       and for all, since I may not always find the heart
                       to keep asking.

                       Useless hope
                       Flower of sorrow
                       Why do you persecute me
                       In my loneliness?
                       Why don't you let me
                       Drown my yearnings
                       In the bitter cup
                       Of reality?


                       Why don't you kill me
                       By opening my eyes?
                       Why don't you wound me
                       With unrequited love?


                       Useless hope
                       If you see that I'm fooling myself
                       Why don't you die?
                       Why don't you die
                       In my heart?


                       Useless hope,
                       Flower of my sorrow,
                       Why don't you die
                       In my heart?

                       You only live twice,
                       or so it seems,
                       one for yourself
                       and one for your dreams.


                       You drift through the years,
                       and life seems tame
                       till one dream appears,
                       and freedom is its name.


                       And freedom is a stranger,
                       who'll beckon you on,
                       don't think of the danger
                       or the stranger is gone.


                       This dream is for you
                       so pay the price,
                       make one dream come true,
                       you only live twice.


                       And freedom is a stranger,
                       who'll beckon you on,
                       don't think of the danger
                       or the stranger is gone.


                       This dream is for you,
                       so pay the price,
                       make one dream come true,
                       you only live twice.

                       Through the palm trees
                       That sleep peacefully
                       The silvery moon
                       Cuddles with the tropical sea


                       And my arms
                       Hungrily stretch out
                       Searching for you


                       In the night
                       A flowery perfume
                       Evokes your enrapturing breath
                       And the sweet kisses
                       Of your mouth,
                       And my lips thirstily wait
                       For a kiss from you


                       I feel that you are next to me
                       But it is a lie, an illusion
                       Oh! I spend hours like this
                       And nights like this
                       Asking life
                       For the miracle of being next to you
                       And perhaps not even in your dreams
                       Do you remember me

                       Yours 'till the stars have no glory
                       Yours 'till the birds fail to sing
                       Yours 'till the end of the life story
                       This pledge to you dear
                       I bring


                       Yours in the gray of December
                       Here or on far distance shores
                       I never love anyone the way I love you
                       How could I
                       When I was born to be just yours

                       Here comes the sun
                       Here comes the sun
                       And I say
                       Its alright

                       Little darling
                       Its been a long cold lonely winter
                       Little darling
                       It seems like years since its been here

                       Here comes the sun
                       Here comes the sun
                       And I say
                       Its alright

                       Little darling
                       The smiles returning to the faces
                       Little darling
                       It seems like years since its been here

                       Here comes the sun
                       Here comes the sun
                       And I say
                       Its alright

                       Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

                       Little darling
                       I see the ice is slowly melting
                       Little darling
                       It seems like years since its been clear

                       Here comes the sun
                       Here comes the sun
                       Its alright

                       Here comes the sun
                       Here comes the sun
                       Its alright
                       Its alright

                       Ikävöin maahan jota ei ole,
                       sillä kaikkea mikä on olen väsynyt himoamaan.
                       Kuu kertoo minulle hopeaisin kirjaimin
                       maasta jota ei ole.

                       Maasta, jossa kaikki toiveemme täyttyvät ihmeellisesti,
                       maasta, jossa kaikki kahleemme kirvoittuvat,
                       maasta, jossa vilvoitamme raadeltuja otsiamme
                       kuun kasteessa.

                       Elämäni oli kuuma harha.
                       Mutta yhden olen löytänyt
                       ja yhden olen totisesti voittanut -
                       tien maahan jota ei ole.

                       Maassa jota ei ole
                       kulkee rakastettuni, otsallansa sädehtivä kruunu.

                       Ken on rakastettuni? Yö on pimeä
                       ja tähdet vapisevat vastaukseksi.

                       Ken on rakastettuni? Mikä hänen nimensä?
                       Taivaat kaartuvat korkeammiksi,
                       ja ihmislapsi vajoaa äärettömiin usviin
                       vastausta tietämättä.

                       Mutta ihmislapsi ei ole mitään muuta kuin varmuus.
                       Ja se kohottaa kätensä kaikkia taivaita korkeammalle.
                       Ja vastaus tulee: Minä olen se, jota rakastat
                       ja aina olet rakastava.

                       Mitä minä pelkään? Olen osa äärettömyyttä.
                       Olen osa kaikkeuden suurta voimaa,
                       yksinäinen maailma miljoonien maailmoiden parissa,
                       niinkuin ensi luokan tähti, joka sammuu viimeksi.

                       Riemu elää, riemu hengittää, riemu olla olemassa!
                       Riemu tuntea ajan jäisen -
                       kylmänä valuvan suoniansa pitkin
                       ja kuunnella yön hiljaista virtaa
                       ja seisoa vuorella auringossa.

                       Käyskelen aurinkoa pitkin, seison auringolla,
                       en tiedä mistään muusta kuin auringosta.

                       Aika - muuntajatar, aika - hävittäjätär,
                       aika - loihtijatar, tuletko uusin juonin,
                       tuhansin kavaluuksin
                       tarjoamaan minulle olemassaolon

                       niinkuin pienen siemenen,
                       niinkuin kehään kiertyneen käärmeen,
                       niinkuin merellisen luodon?

                       Aika - sinä murhaajatar - väisty luotani!
                       Aurinko täyttää rintani suloisella hunajalla ääriä myöten
                       ja sanoo: kerran sammuvat kaikki tähdet,
                       mutta ne loistavat aina pelkoa vailla.

                       Ruislinnun laulu korvissani, tähkäpäiden päällä täysi kuu
                       kesä yön on onni omanani, kaskisavuun laaksot
                       verhoutuu.

                       En ma iloitse, en sure, huokaa
                       mutta metsän tummuus mulle tuokaa,
                       puunto pilven, johon päivä hukkuu,
                       siinto vaaran tuulisen, mi nukkuu,
                       tuoksut vanamon ja varjot veen
                       niistä sydämeni laulun teen.

                       Sulle laulan neiti, kesäheinä, sydämeni suuri hiljaisuus,
                       uskontoni, soipa säveleinä,
                       tammenlehvä-seppel vehryt, uus.

                       En ma enää aja virvatulta, onpa kädessäni onnen kulta
                       pienentyy mun ympär' elon piiri
                       aika seisoo, nukkuu tuuliviiri
                       edessäni hämäräinen tie tuntemattomahan tupaan vie.
