Translation of the song Dolorosa artist Olavi Virta

Kun ensi kerran sinut kohtasin

When I met you for the first time

ja silmin mua katsoit sinisin

and you looked at me with your blue eyes

Kohtalos omaksein tunsin,

I felt your destiny/fate was mine,

olin maan onnellisin.

I was the happiest person on this earth.

Kun kerallani silloin astelit,

When you walked with me then,

en tiennyt että minut hylkäisit.

I didn’t know that you would abandon me.

Unelmain kaikki on luhistuneet,

All my dreams have been crushed,

pilvilinnat sortuneet.

castles in the air have come crumbling down.

Nyt elän ain muistelmissain,

Now I’ll live forever in my memories,

kauas kun läksit pois

since you have gone far away.

Yksin oon ain ma aatoksissain,

I’m always alone with my thoughts,

elo kuin kahle ois

life feels like a chore (literally: life feels like a shackle/chain).

Kun kerran auer yöksi tummentuu,

As the evening mist darkens to night,

tuol taivahalle tähdet asettuu

the stars will appear up there in the sky.

Ma kuvastasi yksin lohdun saan,

Your picture is the only thing that consoles me/ gives me comfort/solace,

mulle tarkoituksetont' on kaikki muu.

everything else is meaningless to me.
