Tavern of Longing (Kaipuun Kapakka english translation)
You wake up to my kiss and smile
Your lips still on mine
Our teeth clash together and you laugh
And grab me by the hair
Stay there a while longer, I beg
Let's pretend together
That outside this room
There's only an empty sky
The world leaks into our bed, you get up
And pick up your clothes
And as you leave I wish that like you
I could leave myself behind
But I can't escape
Here I lay, praying
That even for a moment
They would be silent
The screaming memories of you
and all of them
Weary mind, drunken heart
Beats within me and revels
In the tavern of longing it drinks and yells
That worn-down brawl seeker
Your scent is still here
Sometimes it sneaks up on me
Dashes from behind the corner
And strikes its fist on my jaw
I lay still once again
Don't know where to long for
Nothing to go back to
And inside me they scream
The memories of you, and all of them
Weary heart, intoxicated by love
Drowned in desire, beats within my chest
In a hangover of longing it curses, sweats
Cries, and vomits
The tavern of longing, the haunt of pain
I loiter around its counter once again
Sorrow has decorated these walls with pictures of you
And the radio plays your laughter
