My favourite song. This song was one of the reasons to visit Finland and to learn some Finish. 12 points from Berlin. Great singer, great country, great people.
Isnt it amazing when you see singers from northern european countrys so many years after there eurovision performance how amazing they still look,that lack of sun at certain times of the year has its advantages! This song despite being from 1985 is so ahead of its time,even if this revamped version was in today I dont think it would sound all that dated
I love u Sonja from Greece. Sweden sends any stupid song top5 finland sends a diamond just 9rh. Soooooo unfair. Finland and Portugal the most underrated countries
Kaupungissa on yö, en silti tähtiä nää It's night in the city but I don't see any stars Ei tähdet tuhannet tuikikkaan A thousand stars aren't shining Ne taakse harmaiden harsojen jää They're left behind a grey veil Kaupungissa on yö, puistoon kanssasi jäin It's night in the city, I stayed in the park with you Sä seisot edessäin täynnä toivoa You're standing in front me full of hope Ja silmäsi kertovat näin And your eyes are telling me this Eläköön elämä ja yö Long live life and the night Eläköön tumma taivas ja tähtien vyö Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Toivo kanssani ettei tähti tähteä lyö Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star Sitä sielujen sympatiaa The feeling of sympathy Josta isoisä kertoi sitä tarvitsee maa Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs Jotta maailman lapset tähtiä katsella saa So that the children of the world can watch the stars Kaupungissa on yö, sun tähtisilmäsi nään It's night in the city, I see your starry eyes Ja hyvän kaverin kainaloon Under a good friends arm Mä työnnän piiloon tän pörröisen pään I'll hide my furry head Mä olen onnellinen, kun sun seuraasi jäin I am happy because I stayed with you Sä seisot edessäin täynnä toivoa You're standing in front of me full of hope Ja silmäsi kertovat näin And your eyes are telling me this Eläköön elämä ja yö Long live life and the night Eläköön tumma taivas ja tähtien vyö Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Toivo kanssani ettei tähti tähteä lyö Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star Sitä sielujen sympatiaa The feeling of sympathy Josta isoisä kertoi sitä tarvitsee maa Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs Jotta maailman lapset tähtiä katsella saa So that the children of the world can watch the stars Täynnä toivoa tänne jäin I stayed here full of hope Kun silmäsi kertovan näin Because your eyes are telling me this Eläköön elämä ja yö Long live life and the night Eläköön tumma taivas ja tähtien vyö Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Toivo kanssani ettei tähti tähteä lyö Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star Sitä sielujen sympatiaa The feeling of sympathy Josta isoisä kertoi sitä tarvitsee maa Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs Jotta maailman lapset tähtiä katsella saa So that the children of the world can watch the stars
I think the Finnish lyrics are a bit convoluted because I think they tried so hard to make rhymes. Fore example what does it mean "toivo kanssani, ettei tähti tähteä lyö"? I've never heard the expression of stars hitting each others.
Long live life It's night in the city but I don't see any stars A thousand stars aren't shining They're left behind a grey veil It's night in the city, I stayed in the park with you You're standing in front me full of hope And your eyes are telling me this Long live life and the night Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star The feeling of sympathy Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs So that the children of the world can watch the stars It's night in the city, I see your starry eyes Under a good friends arm I'll hide my furry head I am happy because I stayed with you You're standing in front of me full of hope And your eyes are telling me this Long live life and the night Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star The feeling of sympathy Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs So that the children of the world can watch the stars I stayed here full of hope Because your eyes are telling me this Long live life and the night Long live the dark sky and the belt of stars Wish like I do that a star doesn't hit a star The feeling of sympathy Which grandfather told of is what the earth needs So that the children of the world can watch the stars lyricstranslate.com
This was from ”Finnish LOVE” music entertainment show where ordinary people can tell their story and how certain song has been meaningful to them. Very nice concept.
