IN FINNISH

Nousevan auringon maa

mä lähdin käymään siellä missä ei tähtiä näy
mä lähdin käymään siellä missä ei rannekello käy
en suinkaan tahtonut jäädä vartiksi pidempään
mut huuma tää sekoitti mun viattoman pään

japaniin,
japaniin...

tokio, osaka ja muut miljoonakaupungit
mut vei mut niiden kirkkaat neonvalosvengit
valoviima kävi mua tarkasti silmiin
ja sokeana tarvoin elämäni mittaiseen filmiin

japaniin,
japaniin...

(soolot)

lopputekstit edessäin jossain häämöttää
maa nousevan auringon valo jo hämärtää
ehkä olisi pitänyt ajoissa ymmärtää
ettei pohjoista sielua voi enää koskaan lämmittää

japaniin,
japaniin...

IN ENGLISH

Country of the rising sun

i went to visit there where the stars can't be seen
i went to visit there where the watch doesn't work/isn't proper
i never had intentions to stay any longer than a 15 minutes
but this ecstacy/speed (of the country) mixed my innocent head

to japan,
to japan...

tokyo, osaka and other metropolis
(but) i was taken by their bright neonlightrythm
breeze of light hit straight to my eyes
and as i went blind, i wandered to the movie that was size of my life

to japan,
to japan...

(solo)

the end credits are looming somewhere in front of me
the light of country of the rising sun is already blurring
maybe i should have understand on time
that this northern (finnish) soul cannot be warmed up never more

to japan,
to japan...
