Lyrics[]
Varjoon alta polttavan auringon
Varjoon tieltä tuskien päästävä on
Suojaan alta hehkuvan taivahan
Suojaan luokse vihreän keitahan
Yllä auringon hohde, alla on polttava maa
Mielessä varjoisa kohde, jonne yksin kulkea saan
Varjoon alta polttavan auringon
Varjoon pian pois minun päästävä on
Suojaan alta hehkuvan taivahan
Suojaan alle lehdistön tuuhean
Varjoon valokeilojen julkeain
Varjoon tahdon seurasta kuuluisain
Suojaan luota polttavan rakkauden
Suojaan luokse kaipauksen hiljaisen
Rauhaton eloni on vain, kaiken nyt kestää mä saan
Jo mainetta kylliksi sain, rauhaan mä kaipailen vaan
Varjoon valokeiloista tahdon pois
Varjoon yksinäistä vaikk' siellä ois
Suojaan tahdon viimeinkin rauhaisaan
Silloin vasta onneni vihdoin ѕaаn
Into the shadow from under the burning sun
I must get into the shadow from the street of pain
To safety from under the glowing sky
To safety, to a green oasis
Above is the shining sun, underneath is the burning ground
In the mind the shady resort, where I can go by myself
Into the shadow from under the burning sun
I must soon get away, into the shadow
To safety from under the glowing sky
To safety under bushy leaves
Into the shadow from the shameless spotlights
I want to get into the shadow, away from the company of the famous
To safety, away from the burning love
To safety of silent longing
My life is just restless, now I have to stand everything
I already got enough fame, rest is all I miss
I want to get into the shadow, away from the spotlights
Into the shadow, although it would be lonely there
I want to go to the peaceful safety, eventually
That's when I could finally find my hаppinesѕ
