Ranta Hiljainen

I walk alone to the quiet beach
No one else in sight, pondering sadly
Just the quiet beach, no one around
I think: time is being wasted here
Just the quiet beach and I'm alone
Only fragments of happiness remain

From the wind, words of emptiness are found
Greyly embracing the human
Just the quiet beach, so quiet
I no longer hear the birds singing
Just the quiet beach, from its shore
You can find a quiet, great longing

Only a small memory remains
It can't be enough if you're in my memories
Just the quiet beach, no one around
I think: time is being wasted here
Just the quiet beach and I'm alone
Only fragments of happiness remain
Just the quiet beach, so quiet
I no longer hear the birds singing
Just the quiet beach, from its shore
You can find a quiet, great longing
