Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Patsaan luona
Moukarista päähäni sain
Kun sä keinuit
Ohitseni
Halki ruuhkalauantain
Ja nyt me mennään
Ett' saatais olla kahdestaan
Mut kun syttyy
Teatterin valot
Isäs ovella sua odottaa
refrain:
Ja mä seison kuutamolla
Sun ikkunas alla - on kylmä
Aivan kuutamolla
Vilu vain on seuranain
On kello kolme
Ja sataa
Ja mun jalkoja
Paleltaa
Ja pysäkiltä juoppolinja
Taa kadunkulman kaasuttaa
Ja sun isäsi
Valvoo vielä
TV: n valo valuu
Puutarhaan
Oi kunpa voisin, oi rakkain
Hiipiä sun viereen nukkumaan
refrain
Sade kastelee...
Sydämen pintaa...
Kaipuun ruoste syö rintaa...
refrain
The lyrics of Tommi Läntinen's song Kuutamolla are a poignant portrayal of unrequited love and longing. The song depicts the singer's yearning to be with someone he loves, who is waiting for him at home while he stands outside, in the cold beneath her window. The opening lines of the song describe how the singer was hit in the head with a hammer while standing by a statue of three blacksmiths, with the girl he loves walking past him. Despite this painful memory, he is still deeply in love with her and later suggests they go to the movies together to be alone, but her father will be waiting for her at the door when they return. The chorus repeats the theme of the singer's loneliness and the cold night air beneath the moon, as he is left longing for a relationship that seems unattainable.
The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and powerful emotions, making it easy to empathize with the singer's plight, and his feeling of isolation and dejection. The imagery of a cold, rainy night, and the contrast between the bright lights of the cinema or the TV in the girl's house makes the singer's emotions even more palpable. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that this is a feeling that is repeatedly felt and that the singer is trapped in.
Overall, the song Kuutamolla is a poignant ballad that captures the feelings of unrequited love beautifully, and paints a vivid picture of yearning and heartache.

Kolmen Sepän Patsaan luona
I was standing near the statue of Three Blacksmiths
Moukarista päähäni sain
I got hit on the head with a hammer
Kun sä keinuit Ohitseni Halki ruuhkalauantain
As you swung past me on a crowded Saturday
Ja nyt me mennään Elokuviin Ett' saatais olla kahdestaan
Now we're going to the movies, so we could be alone
Mut kun syttyy Teatterin valot Isäs ovella sua odottaa
But when the theater lights come on, your father is waiting at the door
refrain
And I'm standing under your window in the moonlight - it's cold. Completely in the moonlight, shivering alone
On kello kolme Ja sataa Ja mun jalkoja Paleltaa
It's three o'clock and raining, my feet are freezing
Ja pysäkiltä juoppolinja Taa kadunkulman kaasuttaa
And a drunk shuttle bus is speeding around the street corner from the station
Ja sun isäsi Valvoo vielä TV: n valo valuu Puutarhaan
And your father is still awake, the TV light streaming into the garden
Oi kunpa voisin, oi rakkain Hiipiä sun viereen nukkumaan
Oh how I wish, oh dearest, to slip next to you and sleep
refrain
And I'm standing under your window in the moonlight - it's cold. Completely in the moonlight, shivering alone
Sade kastelee... Sydämen pintaa... Kaipuun ruoste syö rintaa...
The rain soaks... The surface of my heart... The rust of longing eats at my chest...
refrain
And I'm standing under your window in the moonlight - it's cold. Completely in the moonlight, shivering alone
