Tähdet Meaning & Lyrics (Ahti | Behm)
Ahti Peltonen writes about beautiful eyes crying in the evenings, calling them the brightest stars. He mentions writing a song about the person, and describes their face as a painting with angelic pain.
Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminThe stars that shine the brightest.
Sun Kauniit Silmat Itkee IltaisinYour beautiful eyes cry in the evenings.
Kun Yksin Kotiin LahdetWhen you go home alone,
Muista Ne On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminRemember, they’re the stars that shine the brightest.
Joskus Viela Naat SenOne day, you’ll see it too.
Sun Kasvot On Ku Maalaus Enkelin Sisal TuskaaYour face is like a painting, with an angel’s pain inside.
Ma Kirjotan Laulun Kirjotan Sita SustaI’m writing a song, I’m writing it about you.
Sun Silmat On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminYour eyes are the stars that shine the brightest.
Kysy Miten Mulla MeneeAsk me how I’m doing,
Ja Ma Sanon: “En Ma Tiia Mul On Ollu Paljon Mielen Paal”And I’ll say, “I don’t know, I’ve had a lot on my mind.”
Opetellu Olee Itekseni Mutten Tee Sita VielakaanI’ve been learning to be on my own, but I’m still not doing it yet.
Jos Sa Oisit Mun Ja Ma Oisin Nyt Sun VierellaIf you were mine and I were by your side right now.
Voitaisko Me Viel MuuttuuCould we still change?
Oon Lahempana Maalii Mut Kauemmas Meen SustaI’m closer to the finish line, but I’m moving further from you.
Rakkautta Pitaa Vaalii Istuttaa AjatustaLove must be cherished, a seed of thought must be planted.
Sina Ja Mina Ja Kaksin Katotaan KangastustaYou and I, together we’re watching a mirage.
Valkoset Nahkapenkit Ja Ulkoo KokomustaWhite leather seats and all black on the outside.
Sun Kauniit Silmat Itkee IltaisinYour beautiful eyes cry in the evenings.
Kun Yksin Kotiin LahdetWhen you go home alone,
Muista Ne On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminRemember, they’re the stars that shine the brightest.
Joskus Viela Naat SenOne day, you’ll see it too.
Sun Kasvot On Ku Maalaus Enkelin Sisal TuskaaYour face is like a painting, with an angel’s pain inside.
Ma Kirjotan Laulun Kirjotan Sita SustaI’m writing a song, I’m writing it about you.
Sun Silmat On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminYour eyes are the stars that shine the brightest.
Oot Oottanu Mua Niin Paljon KauemminYou’ve waited for me so much longer.
Niin Paljon Kauemmin Ku Odottaa OsasinSo much longer than I ever knew how to wait.
Oon Jattanyt Ovenkin Auki Koska OletinI’ve even left the door open because I assumed,
Et Lahtisit Mut Jokin Jatti Jaljen Meihin MolempiinThat you’d leave, but something left a mark on both of us.
Sa Haluut Tietaa Milloin Olisin Vain SunYou want to know when I’ll be yours alone.
Ma Vastaan Kerta Kerran Jalkeen: “Sitten Kun”I answer time after time, “When the time’s right.”
Nyt Kysyt Multa: “Milloin On Se Sitten”Now you’re asking me, “When is that right time?”
En Ma Tieda Mutta Kulta Ala ItkeI don’t know, but darling, don’t cry.
Silti Sun Kauniit Silmat Itkee IltaisinStill, your beautiful eyes cry in the evenings.
Kun Yksin Kotiin LahdetWhen you go home alone,
Muista Ne On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminRemember, they’re the stars that shine the brightest.
Joskus Viela Naat SenOne day, you’ll see it too.
Sun Kasvot On Ku Maalaus Enkelin Sisal TuskaaYour face is like a painting, with an angel’s pain inside.
Ma Kirjotan Laulun Kirjotan Sita SustaI’m writing a song, I’m writing it about you.
Sun Silmat On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminYour eyes are the stars that shine the brightest.
Sun Silmat On Ne Tahdet Jotka Loistaa KirkkaimminYour eyes are the stars that shine the brightest.
