Sisko
Katri Ylander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silti pystyt lainaamaan, pyydä, niin tulen
Nukkumaan sun viereesi sielunveljen siskoksi
Heikon hetken niskaasi voisin silittää
Mutten pidempään jäädä
Refrain:
Vain käymään vierailulle tuun
Voin näyttää tutulta, mut viivy en aamuun
Kun nään, niin hiivin käytävään
Ja puen hiljaa
Helppoa, ei vaikeempaa, jos ei mietitä
Sido ei se kumpaakaan, kun on ystävä
Kiinni kierryn kylkeesi sielunveljen siskoksi
Ikuisuuden niskaasi voisin silittää
Mutten pidempään jäädä
Refrain x 2
The lyrics to Katri Ylander's song "Sisko" contain a story of a complicated relationship between two people who may have been very close at one point in time but have grown apart. The first verse talks about how the singer doesn't belong to the other person anymore, but is still willing to come to their aid if called upon. The singer offers to sleep beside the other person and soothe them when they're feeling weak, but only for a brief moment in time. The following chorus speaks about how the singer will only come to visit and won't stay long enough to be a burden.
The second verse is a bit more cryptic, talking about how the singer likes to sneak around when they know the other person is around, and how they can make things easy if they stop thinking too hard about their relationship. They go on to say that even though they're not "both tied up", they hug the other person as a spiritual sibling, and they're willing to caress their neck, but only for a moment. The chorus repeats itself twice, reinforcing the idea that the singer only wants to come for a short visit.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sisko" describe a complicated relationship that's gone through some ups and downs, but still has an unbreakable bond. The singer offers comfort and support to the other person, but only for a brief moment in time. The song is a beautiful testament to the idea that no matter what happens, some connections can never be severed.

Ei se oo sen kummempaa, sulle kuulu en
I may not be anything significant to you, I don't belong to you.
Silti pystyt lainaamaan, pyydä, niin tulen
Even so, you can ask for my help, and I'll show up.
Nukkumaan sun viereesi sielunveljen siskoksi
To sleep beside you as a sister of the soul.
Heikon hetken niskaasi voisin silittää
I could caress your neck during a moment of weakness.
Mutten pidempään jäädä
But I won't stay for too long.
Vain käymään vierailulle tuun
I'll just come for a visit.
Voin näyttää tutulta, mut viivy en aamuun
I'll seem familiar, but won't stay until morning.
Kun nään, niin hiivin käytävään
When I see you, I'll slip into the hallway.
Ja puen hiljaa
And put on a quiet demeanor.
Helppoa, ei vaikeempaa, jos ei mietitä
It's easy, not difficult, if we don't overthink it.
Sido ei se kumpaakaan, kun on ystävä
It doesn't matter who gets tied up when it's just a friend.
Kiinni kierryn kylkeesi sielunveljen siskoksi
I'll wrap myself around you as a sister of the soul.
Ikuisuuden niskaasi voisin silittää
I could caress your neck for eternity.
Mutten pidempään jäädä
But I won't stay for too long.
