Harmaja "Alla" lyrics

Translation to:enesfrru

Alla

Vie meitä varjot hiljaaUnten satamaanOlet vaiti, vaikka tiedätMyrskyn palaavan

Taivas, se näytti meilleMerkit helvetinKaarnalla ainoallaLepää ihminen

(chorus)Alla aaltojen se hiljeneeSanan huuliltansa henkäisee

Hiljaa, kuin kuollut sointuKuiskaa varoenVirtensä ainoanSen tuntee jokainen

Nousee vielä kerranPäälle aaltojenKerran kuiskausKäy päälle pilvien

(chorus)

Ja käteen kurkottaa

(chorus)

Under

The shadows silently take usTo the harbor of dreamsYou are silent, even though you knowThe storm will return

Heaven, it showed usThe signs of hellOn the only barkLies the man ["man" here as in human]

(chorus)Under the waves it quiets down ["it" here refers to a person, a common informal use of the word in Finnish]Sighs a word from its lips

Quietly, as a dead chordWhispers with care(His/Her) only hymnEveryone knows it

Rises/Stands up once moreAbove the wavesOnce the whisperCalls above the clouds ["call" here could be translated in many, many ways, but I feel this represents the feeling rather well]

(chorus)

And reaches for/(to) a hand

(chorus)
