I hear you | I hear you/ Frosty blades bow

Minä kuulen sinut

Language: Finnish (Suomi)

Minä kuulen sinut 
Kuuranpeittämät korret kumartuvat
peittämään paljasta vihreää

Se on askeleistani sulanut
valkoisten piikkien peitto
pieni avaruus

Olet katkeamaton kilinä
kitaran kielien näppäily
helisevä kulku hevosvaunuilla

I hear you

Language: English after the Finnish (Suomi)

I hear you
Frosty blades bow
cover the naked greenness

It has melted under my feet
blanket of white prickles
a small universe

You are unbroken jingle
plucking of guitar strings
rattling ride of brougham
