Miljoonan kilsan tennarit
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kerran käydä vois
Mut joskus parempi kääntyy kannoillaan
Ja lähtee heti pois
Jonkun tahtoo unohtaa
Toinen sydämeen jää
Tarjoo lämpöö matkalleni
Miljoonan kilsan tennarit
Muistot kulkee kanssani
Jotka ilon antaa, jotka lohduttaa
Miljoonan kilsan tennarit
Tuhannet riemut, surutkin
Pelaan tämän pelin loppuun, tie mua odottaa
Kun yksi taakse jäi
Niin mikä etten jatka
Kun mulle itse määränpää
On koko matka
Jää toki paikallesi
Mä meen eteenpäin
Kun jälleen ihmismeren takaa
Tutun kajastuksen näin
Miljoonan kilsan tennarit
Muistot kulkee kanssani
Jotka ilon antaa, jotka lohduttaa
Miljoonan kilsan tennarit
Tuhannet riemut, surutkin
Pelaan tämän pelin loppuun, tie mua odottaa

Ei niin turhaa paikkaa etteikö
Kerran käydä vois
Mut joskus parempi kääntyy kannoillaan

No place is too meaningless to visit once, but sometimes it's better to turn on your heels and leave right away.

Someone wants to forget, while another stays in their heart and offers warmth on my journey for the rest of my life.

My million-kilometer sneakers carry memories with me that bring me joy and comfort. They hold thousands of joys and sorrows as I play this game until the end, with the road waiting for me.
Kun yksi taakse jäi
Niin mikä etten jatka
Kun mulle itse määränpää
On koko matka
When one thing stayed behind, why would I not continue? My destination is the whole journey itself.
Jää toki paikallesi
Mä meen eteenpäin
Kun jälleen ihmismeren takaa
Tutun kajastuksen näin
Stay in your place if you wish, but I'm moving forward. When I saw the familiar glimmer from behind the sea of people once again.
