Vieras mies
Olin kaikkialla vieras mies,
he katsoivat minua pitkään.
Joka paikasta halusin paeta pois,
mutta minne ikänä pakenin,
olin sielläkin vieras mies.
Koko maailman piirissä minulle
ei ollut rauhan sijaa.
Ja minua minussa raahasi
joku minulle vieras mies.
Unknown Man
Everywhere I was an unknown man,
they took a long look at me.
In every place I wanted to run away,
but wherever I ran,
I was again an unknown man.
I did not find a peaceful place
in the whole wide world.
And deep down I was always
drawn by some unknown man.
from Uni ja kuolema (Dream and Death, 1931)
