Finnish

Jos elämä ois helppoo

Mä tiedän et mun pitäis katsoo muualle kun seisot edessä
Metron liukuportaissa sun oman onnes kanssa
Mä tiedän ettei pitäs kuunnella kun kerrot hiljaa huomisesta
Jossa mua ei ole edes olemassa
En tekis niin, jossei kiinnostais
En tekis niin, jollet epätoivoiseks sais

Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit pelkkä paskiainen
Pettäjä, jättäjä ja sanansyöjä
Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit paha ihminen
Helposti vihattava, heikomman lyöjä
Jos elämä ois helppoo
Jos elämä ois helppoo

Tietenkin pitäis tyytyy siihen mitä mä oon saanut aiemmin
Ettei koti ole joku aamu pommitettu
Tietenkin pitäs osaa olla onnellinen sunkin puolesta
ja sulkee korvat katkeruuden kuiskinnalta
Tekisin sen, jos en ois palasina
Tekisin sen, jos en ois rikkinäinen

Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit pelkkä paskiainen
Pettäjä, jättäjä ja sanansyöjä
Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit paha ihminen
Helposti vihattava, heikomman lyöjä
Helposti vihattava, heikomman lyöjä

Jos elämä ois helppoo
Hei
Ei maailma vaikeammaksi
Satuttavaksi, haluttavaksi

Jos elämä ois helppoo sä olisit pelkkä paskiainen
Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit paha ihminen
Pettäjä, jättäjä ja sanansyöjä
Jos elämä ois helppoo, sä olisit täysin toisenlainen
Sisältä ruma sekä ulkoa kylmä
Helposti vihattava, heikomman lyöjä
Pettäjä, jättäjä ja sanansyöjä
Pettäjä, jättäjä ja sanansyöjä

Jos elämä ois helppoo
Jos elämä ois helppoo

English

If Life Were Easy

I know I should look away when you stand in front of me
In the escalators of the metro station with your own happiness
I know I shouldn't listen when you quietly tell about tomorrow
Where I don't even exist
I wouldn't do that, if I didn't care
I wouldn't do that, if you didn't make me desperate

If life were easy, you would be just an asshole
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words
If life were easy, you would be a bad person
Easily hated, beater of the weaker
If life were easy
If life were easy

Of course I should be satisfied with what I've gotten before
That my home hasn't been bombed one morning
Of course I should be happy for you as well
and close my ears from the whispering of bitterness
I would do that, if I weren't in pieces
I would do that, if I weren't broken

If life were easy, you would be just an asshole
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words
If life were easy, you would be a bad person
Easily hated, beater of the weaker
Easily hated, beater of the weaker

If life were easy
Hey
The world won't more difficult
Hurtful, desirable

If life were easy, you would be just an asshole
If life were easy, you would be a bad person
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words
If life were easy, you would be entirely different
Ugly inside and cold outside
Easily hated, beater of the weaker
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words

If life were easy
If life were easy


Author's comment: I realize the verse third to last doesn't make sense, and that's because it doesn't make sense in Finnish either.
