Tarja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hyvyyden varjo peittaa kyyneleen,
loytaneen luo vie askeleen.
Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa.
Toivo jaa, tie rakkauteen.
Tie syvaan vaupauteen




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tarja's song Oasis are written in Finnish and can be translated as follows - "The shadow of goodness covers the tear, takes a step towards the one who has found. Peace comes, cradles to sleep. Hope remains, the road to love. The road to deep freedom." This song speaks about finding solace in times of trouble and how hope and love can lead one to a place of deep freedom.


The opening line "The shadow of goodness covers the tear" refers to a situation where someone is crying, but their tears are covered by the shadow of goodness. This can be seen as a metaphor for how even in times of sadness or trouble, there is always hope and goodness available to help us through. The line "takes a step towards the one who has found" tells us that we must take action to find this goodness and hope. The next line "Peace comes, cradles to sleep" speaks about finding peace in these times and feeling comforted like a child being cradled to sleep. The final line "The road to deep freedom" is the ultimate goal, where we can find true freedom by choosing the road of hope and love.

Hyvyyden varjo peittää kyyneleen,
löytäneen luo vie askeleen.
Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa.
Toivo jää, tie rakkauteen.
Tie syvään vaupauteen.


[English translation:]


The shadow of goodness covers the tear,
Takes the step to the one found.
Peace may, rock the cradle to sleep.
Hope remains, a way to love.
A way to a deep freedom.

There's nothing like this dark, beautiful, jewel of a song. Thank you, Tarja, for a deeply emotional, religious experience of music. Sends one's heart soaring through the crystal ice of dream clouds.

This is my mother’s song. I listened to this the whole way to work after dropping my mom off at home after finding out she had cancer. This song kept me focused and calm. I saw her perform this live 6 months after she passed away. Still a calming beautiful calming song.
