I AM LEAVING

Song: I Am Leaving
Music: Maini Sorri
Lyrics: Barbara Helsingius
Original lyrics: Marjo-Riitta Oksanen

Snow on the ground, snow all around
Where we buried the past and the feelings we found
Storms in the night, prayers for light
Wishes for wonders to make wrong turn right

I may long for your touch once tender
But don’t think I’ll ever surrender
I must try the taste of living
Among those warm and forgiving
I must change the ice for fire
See the sun and feel desire
Now I’m leaving, yes, I’m leaving
Oh I’m leaving, I am leaving

Doubt in the air, mem’ries we share
Truth or illusion? I really don’t care!
This is my way, right or astray
I’ll manage, I’ll make it or else I must pay

I may long for your touch once tender
But don’t think I’ll ever surrender
I must try the taste of living
Among those warm and forgiving
I must change the ice for fire
See the sun and feel desire
Now I’m leaving, yes, I’m leaving
I am leaving, oh I’m leaving [I am leaving]

[Leaving, I am leaving]
[I am leaving]
[Leaving, I am leaving]
[Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving, I am leaving]
[Leaving, I am leaving]

SOMEDAY

Song: Someday
Music: Maini Sorri
English lyrics: Barbara Helsingius
Original lyrics: Mikko Anttila

Morning sprinkles gold dust on the trees
Every step brings peace that we denied us
Softly it caresses in the breeze
Like a gentle power there to guide us

Many are the eyes I meet
And only few I’ll really greet
But long ago we got the gift of smiling
So here we walk through joy and strife
Thanks to the one who gave us life
When we’ve paid all that we owe
We travel safely where we all go someday
Someday, someday
We travel safely where we all go someday

Images of morning in my heart
Sounds of silence that I wish to borrow
Dreams I own from which I’ll never part
All I’m saving for a new tomorrow

Many are the eyes I meet [The eyes I meet]
And only few I’ll really greet [Really greet]
But long ago we got the gift of smiling [Long ago we got the gift of smiling]
So here we walk through joy and strife [Joy and strife]
Thanks to the one who gave us life [Gave us life]
When we’ve paid all that we owe
We travel safely where we all go someday
Someday, someday
We travel safely where we all go someday

Day is slowly settling for the night
To a land of dreams the twilight sends us
Soon our thoughts are resting, safe and light
Waiting for the beauty morning lends us

Many are the eyes I meet [The eyes I meet]
And only few I’ll really greet [Really greet]
But long ago we got the gift of smiling [Long ago we got the gift of smiling]
So here we walk through joy and strife [Joy and strife]
Thanks to the one who gave us life [Gave us life]
When we’ve paid all that we owe
We travel safely where we all go someday
Someday, someday
We travel safely where we all go
Travel safely where we all go
Travel safely where we all go someday, someday
Aaahhhhh
Someday, someday, someday

I SHOULDN’T HAVE TRUSTED YOU

Song: I Shouldn’t Have Trusted You
Music and original lyrics: Maini Sorri
English lyrics: Barbara Helsingius

Spring is here so fair and sweet
Everywhere is trill and tweet
Suddenly I can tell
I must leave what I know so well

Here with you I can’t remain
But the birds will sing again
Shadows stay on my trail
But the wind is my boat and sail

You had told me you were sad and lonely [So lonely]
That I was the one and absolutely only [The only]
Truth is you were selfish and a phoney [A phoney]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney [No, no, no, no]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney

Happiness I searched in vain
All I found was lots of pain
When a gift from above
Brought me you my own precious love [My own precious love]

But all changed and here for me
Is regret, a memory
Winds will blow, tears will dry
And I know memories may die

You had told me you were sad and lonely [So lonely]
That I was the one and absolutely only [The only]
Truth is you were selfish and a phoney [A phoney]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney [No, no, no, no]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney

Lost my love, don’t know why
But for sure won’t stay and cry
Love is found, love is lost
Do we know what our love will cost? [Our love will cost]

Truth is cruel and truth is cold
But with luck it turns to gold [It turns to, it turns to gold]
Now the roads lead away
Had it all but I couldn’t stay

You had told me you were sad and lonely [So lonely]
That I was the one and absolutely only [The only]
Truth is you were selfish and a phoney [A phoney]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney [No, no, no, no]
I shouldn’t have trusted you and your baloney

I shouldn’t have trusted you
I shouldn’t have trusted you
No, I shouldn’t have
No, no, no

I shouldn’t have trusted you
I shouldn’t have trusted you
I shouldn’t have trusted you
No, no, no

I shouldn’t have trusted you
I shouldn’t have trusted you
No, I shouldn’t have trusted you

LIKE AN ANGEL

Song: Like An Angel
Music: Maini Sorri
English lyrics: Barbara Helsingius
Original lyrics: Marjo-Riitta Oksanen

High in the sky I see birds that fly in the morning breeze
Two and two in the endless blue they do as they please
But then one headed for the sun and kept sailing on
Like an angel beyond the clouds was forever gone

Once, I too lost a friend I knew was my one and all
Life is grey, love is far away and no birds will call
All I own is a precious lone of a memory
Why, oh why did you take goodbye for eternity?

Rains won’t give me the answer singing their lullaby
And the whispering summer winds never tell me why
In my soul there’s an empty hole but forevermore
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before

Life has taught that it may be short and you had to go…
Still you’re here almost everywhere and I miss you so
Happiness is a thing to bless while it’s in your hand
I move on and the birds have gone to another land

Mem’ries live, flatter and forgive and I won’t forget
Still I know other winds will blow, life goes on and yet
I will learn when the birds return you will come along
Like an angel you stay with me in their morning song

Rains won’t give me the answer singing their lullaby
And the whispering summer winds never tell me why
In my soul there’s an empty hole but forevermore
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before

High in the sky I see birds that fly in the morning breeze
Two and two in the endless blue they do as they please
But then one headed for the sun and kept sailing on
Like an angel beyond the clouds was forever gone

[Once, I too lost a friend I knew was my one and all]
[Life is grey, love is far away and no birds will call]
All I own is a precious lone of a memory
Why, oh why did you take goodbye for eternity?

Rains won’t give me the answer singing their lullaby [Lullaby]
And the whispering summer winds never tell me why [Never tell my why]
In my soul there’s an empty hole but forevermore [But forevermore]
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before

Lähden Yksin (Finnish version of I Am Leaving)
