Lyrics of The Bosphorus Freezes Over -

The Bosphorus Freezes Over (original)

So there it was, the thing we dread the most
Time had caught up with us.
The thread ended
I felt betrayed and disappointed.
Was that really it?
And looking down at myself lying on the ground of Piraeus harbor
Snowflakes falling down on me
That night the Bosphorus froze
Sung:
Viimeistä virttään kirjoittaa
Harva meistä saa
Muistoihin jää
Laulumme tää
Päättyy ikävään
Kaiussa vuosisatojen
Haaveissa kuolleiden
Kohtaavat päät
Tähdissä näät nyt sen
Ikuisuuden
Spoken:
We watch the sand trickle, anxious about its steady flow
But what we really fail to see is that, at any minute
The glass might just burst into pieces
You see, it’s not about what you take with you, it’s about what you leave behind
And there, on the side of a lion, this story found its end
Sung:
Viimeistä virttään kirjoittaa
Harva meistä saa
Muistoihin jää
Laulumme tää
Päättyy ikävään
Kaiussa vuosisatojen
Haaveissa kuolleiden
Kohtaavat päät
Tähdissä näät nyt sen
Ikuisuuden

(translation)

So there it was, the thing we dread the now
Time had caught up with us.
The thread ended
I felt betrayed and disappointed.
Was that really it?
And looking down at myself lying on the ground of Piraeus harbor
Snowflakes falling down on me
That night the Bosphorus froze
Sung:
The last stream to write
Few of us get it
It will be remembered
We sing this
Ends sadly
Echoes of the centuries
In the dreams of the dead
Meet the heads
You'll see it in the stars now
Forever
Spoken:

And there, on the side of a lion, this story found its end
Sung:
The last stream to write
Few of us get it
It will be remembered
We sing this
Ends sadly
Echoes of the centuries
In the dreams of the dead
Meet the heads
You'll see it in the stars now
Forever
