sinä etsit kukkaa

ja löysit hedelmän

sinä etsit lähdettä

ja löysit meren

sinä etsit naista

ja löysit sielun -

olet pettynyt

Edith Södergran

look i'm standing naked before you

don't you want more than my sex

i can laugh as loud as your last one

but i can't claim innocence

Tori Amos: Leather

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Keane: Somewhere only we know

Olen onnellinen nainen

en tee mitään

en katso telkkaria

en vuokraa videoita

en paiski hommia

en solmi tuttavuuksia

mulla on vain yksi ilme

se ei ole surullinen

eikä se ole iloinen

se vain jäi kasvoilleni eilen

enkä viitsinyt sitä enää muuttaa

Olen onnellinen

olen onnellinen

olen onnellinen

onnellinen nainen

en tee mitään

laitan luurini kiinni

en kaipaa rakkaitani

enkä toivo että joku minua kaipaisi

mulla on vain yksi huone

se ei ole kovin suuri

syön silloin kun tulee nälkä

yleensä aina samaa

ja juhlin liikaa jos mua huvittaa

pitkään se vei

vihdoin voin sanoa hei hei

ilman että jään miettimään

niitä jotka taakseni jää

Scandinavian Music Group: Onnellinen nainen

all too often I set my life aside

all too often my dreams went sailing by

a chance of freedom, a chance of fate, a chance I'll take

oh leave it all to disappear. I'm heading anywhere but here

all too often the dreams I've dreamed have died

and all too often I'm never satisfied

a chance of freedom, a chance of fate, a chance I'll take

oh leave it all to disappear. I'm heading anywhere but here

because I want a life, a souvenir

I'll find it anywhere but here

k.d. lang: Anywhere But Here

sleeping beside you I dreamt

I woke beside you;

waking beside you

I thought I was dreaming

have you ever slept beside an ocean?

well yes,

it is like this

the whole motion of landscapes, of oceans

is within her.

she is

the innocence of any flesh sleeping,

so vulnerable

no protection is needed.

in such times

the heart opens,

contains all there is,

there being no more than her.

in what country she is

I cannot tell.

but knowing – because there is love

and it blots out all demons –

she is safe,

I can turn,

sleep well beside her.

waking beside her I am dreaming.

dreaming of such wakings

I am all love’s senses woken.
