Lyrics of Taivaanlaiva - Marja Mattlar, Gabriel Yacoub, Patrice Clementin

Taivaanlaiva (original)

Entä jos pilvestä palan saisi
ja taivaankannesta kappaleen,
niin eikö niistä jo rakentaisi
sen taivaanlaivan itselleen?
Vois savupatsaasta maston taittaa
sen purren kannelle pystyttää,
ja tuulenpuuskasta purjeen laittaa
se varmaan kauaksi kiidättää.
Sen veden partaalle kuljettaisin
ja siihen reippaasti nousisin.
Sen sitten rannasta irrottaisin
ja virran viedä antaisin.
Se joskus liukuisi kevyesti
kuin virran kulkua seuraillen,
vaan kosken kohdalla äkäisesti
se ehkä tempoisi uhkaillen.
Sinutkin mukaani haluaisin
sen virran oikkuihin suostumaan.
Satamat kanssasi unohtaisin
ja jäisin aalloille asumaan.
Satamat kanssasi unohtaisin
ja jäisin aalloille asumaan.

(translation)

What if you could get a piece of the cloud
and a piece from heaven,
so wouldn't they already be built
that heaven ship itself?
Could the smoke column fold the mast
to set it on the deck,
and a gust of wind put the sail
it will probably take a long time to rush.
I would transport it to the water's edge
and I would rise to it briskly.
I would then detach it from the shore
and I would let the power go.
It would sometimes slide lightly
than following the flow of current,
but at the rapids suddenly
it might pace at a threat.
I think I would like you too
to the quirks of its power to agree.
I would forget the ports with you
and I would stay in the waves to live.
I would forget the ports with you
and I would stay in the waves to live.
