Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eksynyttä, älä hae eksynyttä
Lammasta metsästä pois.
Eksynyttä, älä hae eksynyttä
Lammasta metsästä pois, hei.
(2x)

Kai sä olet joskus kävellyt harhaan,
Harhassa löytänyt taivaan.

Sit sut haettiin pois,
Todellisuus, oh-hoi...
Kyyneleet saa kaupungin täyttää,
Virta vieköön viisauden.
Huuhtoutukoot muukalaiset
Pois sieluistamme, irti sieluistamme,
Sieluistamme pois, pois, pois.

Kai sä olet joskus kiivennyt puuhun,
Nähnyt, tuntenut tuoksun.
Sit sut haettiin pois
Maahan taas, oh-hoi...
Puista näkee pidemmälle,
Tuuli puita horjuttaa.
Puista näkee syvemmälle
Metsään ja metsän taa.

Kaikki puihin kavutkaa
Metsään ja metsän taa.

Line by Line Meaning

Eksynyttä, älä hae eksynyttä
Don't look for what's lost

Lammasta metsästä pois
Get the sheep out of the forest

Kai sä olet joskus kävellyt harhaan,
You might have once wandered off,

Harhassa löytänyt taivaan.
Found the skies amidst the confusion

Sit sut haettiin pois,
Then you were brought back,

Todellisuus, oh-hoi...
To reality, oh-hoi...

Kyyneleet saa kaupungin täyttää,
Tears fill the city,

Virta vieköön viisauden.
The current washes away wisdom.

Huuhtoutukoot muukalaiset
Let strangers be washed away

Pois sieluistamme, irti sieluistamme,
Away from our souls, free from our souls,

Sieluistamme pois, pois, pois.
Out of our souls, away, away, away.
