Translation of the song Paperisiivet artist Olavi Uusivirta
Paperisiivet
Paper wings
Eläköön asfaltti
Hurrah for asphalt
Eläköön marttyyrit
Hurrah for martyrs
Sul on mieli täynnä rakkautta ja tappajan kuvia
You have a mind full of love and pictures of a killer
Olet suurin kaikista
You are the biggest of them all
Olet astronautti
You are an astronaut
Sun on pakko lentää ilmassa ja potkia kiviä
You must fly in the air and kick stones
Ja potkia kiviä
and kick stones
Sun paperisiivet on tallella [3x]
You've still got your paper wings [3x]
Puhut vieraita kieliä
You speak in foreign languages
Kunnes sanat loppuu
Until words run out
Sul on mieli täynnä autoja ja teiden varsia
You have a mind full of cars and roadsides
Älä huoli aamuja
Don't worry about mornings
Älä itke iltoja
Don't cry over evenings
Sul on veljiä maailman laidoilla ja siskoja satamissa
You have brothers on the borders of the world and sisters in harbours
Ja siskoja satamissa
and sisters in harbours
Sun paperisiivet on tallella [3x]
You've still got your paper wings [3x]
Lupasitko liikaa kun sanoit aina
Did you promise too much when you always said
Muistitko äkkiä miltä asemalaituri tuoksuu
Did you suddenly remember what the platform smells like
Reput täynnä vaihtopaitoja, painaa
Backpacks full of extra shirts, it's heavy
Telineillä lapset sotii painovoimaa vastaan
Children in the jungle gyms are fighting against gravity
Kohositko lapsena ilmaan aina
Did you always soar in the air as a child
Sun paperisiivet on tallella
You've still got your paper wings
Sun paperisiivet on tallella [4x]
You've still got your paper wings [4x]
