Original Lyrics
Translation in Finnish
verse
I got two strong arms
I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
Blessings of Babylon
Time to carry on and try
Time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
So to America the brave
Wise men save
Viisas mies sanoo
chorus
Near a tree by a river
Lähellä puuta joella
There's a hole in the ground
Maassa on kolo
Where an old man of Aran
Jossa vanha mies Aranista
Goes around and around
Menee ympäri ja ympäri
And his mind is a beacon
Ja hänen mielensä on loisto
In the veil of the night
Verhossa yön
For a strange kind of fashion
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
On oikea ja väärä
But he'll never, never fight over you
But he'll never, never fight over you
verse
I got plans for us
Minulla on suunnitelmia meitä varten
Nights in the scullery
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you
Wise men fighting over you
verse
It's not me you see
It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
Pieces of valentine
And just a song of mine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold
Wise men fold
chorus
Near a tree by a river
Lähellä puuta joella
There's a hole in the ground
Maassa on kolo
Where an old man of Aran
Jossa vanha mies Aranista
Goes around and around
Menee ympäri ja ympäri
And his mind is a beacon
Ja hänen mielensä on loisto
In the veil of the night
Verhossa yön
For a strange kind of fashion
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
On oikea ja väärä
But he'll never, never fight over you
But he'll never, never fight over you
bridge
I got time to kill
I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Wise men's child
Viisaan miehen lapsi
chorus
Near a tree by a river
Lähellä puuta joella
There's a hole in the ground
Maassa on kolo
Where an old man of Aran
Jossa vanha mies Aranista
Goes around and around
Menee ympäri ja ympäri
And his mind is a beacon
Ja hänen mielensä on loisto
In the veil of the night
Verhossa yön
For a strange kind of fashion
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
On oikea ja väärä
But he'll never, never fight
But he'll never, never fight
chorus
Near a tree by a river
Lähellä puuta joella
There's a hole in the ground
Maassa on kolo
Where an old man of Aran
Jossa vanha mies Aranista
Goes around and around
Menee ympäri ja ympäri
And his mind is a beacon
Ja hänen mielensä on loisto
In the veil of the night
Verhossa yön
For a strange kind of fashion
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
On oikea ja väärä
But he'll never, never fight over you
But he'll never, never fight over you
outro
No he'll never, never fight over you
No he'll never, never fight over you
