Silta [English translation]

you can paint the walls black

or collapse in the rush hour bus

you can believe that spring will never come

and wear a veil in your hair

but longing is a burden that leaks

it gets lighter over time

until you carry it all the way through

I can be a bridge

built with the strongest planks

I can be a bridge

over dark waters

but you have to step forward

you have to endure the tears

for all I can do

is be a bridge

(all I can do)

sadness is a block of concrete in your shoe

it can drown you if you slip

sadness is the five hardest steps of your life

and your knees already hurt

but longing is a burden that leaks

it gets lighter over time

until you carry it all the way through

I can be a bridge

built with the strongest planks

I can be a bridge

over dark waters

but you have to step forward

you have to endure the tears

for all I can do

is be a bridge

we must keep moving

keep looking ahead

focus on the opposite shore

stay under a beam of light

I can be a bridge

I can be a bridge

I can be a bridge

built with the strongest planks

I can be a bridge

over dark waters

but you have to step forward

you have to endure the tears

for all I can do

is be a bridge

all I can do

is be a bridge

you have to step forward

you have to endure the tears

for all I can do

is be a bridge
