Kerran vain haaveeni nהhdה sain
En pienuutta alla tהhtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltה kirjettה kirjoitan

Luojani, luoksesi, anna minun tulla siksi, miksi lapseni minua luulee
Sinussa maailman kauneus, josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Luojani, luoksesi, anna minun tulla siksi, miksi lapseni minua luulee

Oman taivaan tהnne loin
Anna minun pההstה pois
Oman taivaan tהnne loin
Anna minun pההstה pois

    "Luojani" actually means "My creator" - greetings from a native speaker of Finnish.

    The translations are:

    Only once I could see my dream Didn't feel the smallness under the stars Once I got bars in my cradle As a prisoner I write a letter from there

    My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am In you is the beauty of the world, of which death made me an artist My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am

    My own heaven I created here Let me get away My own heaven I created here Let me get away

    while singing nightwish, i put so much feeling into it.. i sing from the bottom of my heart.. their songs represent strong feelings for me.. and almost every song has a deeper meaning for me.. <3 kuolema tekee taiteilijan is one of the most beautiful songs.. while singing this one.. there are no words to describe how i feel...

    First of all I want to thank BeA for the translation of the song and binni for the translation of the title!! Thank you! I looked on the official site and couldn't find a translation! Wow the lyrics are so beautiful... My favorite line is "My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am ". I don't know why it's just gorgeous and the way Tarja sings is so heartfelt.

    Taiteilija usually means painter, sculptor, or something like that, not singer. It can be said that a singer is taitelija, but that's uncommon.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
