Chorale signed to Scandinavian A1 Music at winter 2003. The "Scooter of Finland" released their first album in 2005 and it entered the local album charts at #15.
Chorale's first singer was Maija-Helena Meskanen (Maikku) in 2000, but she performed only one tune (Huominen). In 2001 came Hanna-Leena Saarinen (Hansku), who sang thier few next eurodance tunes. In fall 2001 a girl from Tampere offered one of her tunes for them to remix. This is how Lydia Luoma-aho (born December 1977) found her way to Chorale and Rakkauden Maa was done.
Besides Chorale, Lydia also has a solo project called La Masina.
Jätit yksin
Chorale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
kun sä tulit mulle puhumaan,
se oli teinirakkautta parhaimmillaan,
illan viimeisen hitaan aikaan,
mä sinua hain tanssimaan,
silloin virheen suurimman kai tein,
kun pyysin yöksi tulemaan
mä itkin nimeäsi huutaen,
kun en saa sua milloinkaan,
sä yksin jätit minut huoneeseen,
ja poistuit oven kiinni sulkien,
unelmani rikkoen
kaikki kauniilta voi näyttää,
kun katsoo silmiin sinisiin,
sinä jatkoit omaa tietäs,
minä jäin haaveisiin
en mä sille mitään mahda,
kun aina sattuu sydämmeen,
aina kun sä kävelet vastaan,
mä palaan muistoihin uudelleen,
sä yksin jätit minut huoneeseen,
mä itkin nimeäsi huutaen,
kun en saa sua milloinkaan,
sä yksin jätit minut huoneeseen,
ja poistuit oven kiinni sulkien,
unelmani rikkoen (*2)
The lyrics describe a past love that the singer had with someone who left them feeling alone and heartbroken. The song reminisces about a time when the singer fell in love with the person, during a slow dance at the end of the night. The singer admits that they made a mistake by asking the person to stay the night with them, which ultimately led to their heartbreak.
The chorus repeats the phrase "you left me alone in the room", conveying the loneliness and sadness that the singer still feels towards their lost love. They cry out the person's name as they long for them, but deep down know that they can never have them back. The singer also acknowledges that they are constantly reminded of the person whenever they come across them, and that the pain still remains in their heart.
Overall, "Jätit yksin" is a melancholic song that delves into the emotions of heartbreak and the longing for a love that once was. The lyrics are simple, but impactful, and the slow, mournful melody captures the feelings of loneliness and sorrow.
Line by Line Meaning
mä sinuun taisin rakastua,
I might have fallen in love with you,
kun sä tulit mulle puhumaan,
when you came to talk to me,
se oli teinirakkautta parhaimmillaan,
it was teenage love at its best,
illan viimeisen hitaan aikaan,
in the slow end of the evening,
mä sinua hain tanssimaan,
I sought you out to dance with me,
silloin virheen suurimman kai tein,
that's when I probably made the biggest mistake,
kun pyysin yöksi tulemaan
when I asked you to come over for the night
sä yksin jätit minut huoneeseen,
you left me alone in the room,
mä itkin nimeäsi huutaen,
I cried out your name,
kun en saa sua milloinkaan,
because I will never have you,
ja poistuit oven kiinni sulkien,
and left, closing the door behind you,
unelmani rikkoen,
shattering my dream.
kaikki kauniilta voi näyttää,
everything can look beautiful,
kun katsoo silmiin sinisiin,
when looking into blue eyes,
sinä jatkoit omaa tietäs,
you continued on your own path,
minä jäin haaveisiin,
and I stayed in my dreams.
en mä sille mitään mahda,
there's nothing I can do about it,
kun aina sattuu sydämmeen,
when it always hurts my heart,
aina kun sä kävelet vastaan,
every time I see you walking towards me,
mä palaan muistoihin uudelleen,
I return to my memories again,
unelmani rikkoen (*2)
shattering my dream (*2)
