Ihmisen poika [English translation]

The boy is already dreaming his boyish dream in his bed

Before I can finish his bedtime story

I sit for a moment, contemplating the world

It's waiting for the son of man

Oh, how beautiful the boy truly is

All he can do is learn new things

He turns on his side with a manly grunt

He's journeying through his universe and simply sleeps on

May your journey lead to happiness

With no pointless hate or bitterness

May you be wiser than your mother ever was

May you learn how to think

So the boy is fast asleep in his boyish dream

The lullaby remains unfinished once more

My grown-up troubles dissolve into the night

As I gaze upon the son of man

Oh how all-powerful you can be like that

We made you, but you created us

There you softly breathe, exuding sheer strength

The tears dry in my eyes as you journey on

May your journey lead to happiness

With no pointless hate or bitterness

May you be wiser than your mother ever was

May you learn how to think

May your journey lead to happiness

With no pointless hate or bitterness

May you be wiser than your mother ever was

May you learn how to think

The boy already falls asleep in his bed

Before I can finish his bedtime story
