Autumn melody

This picture makes me thinking a late Finnish musician Juice Leskinen and one of his songs. I found these lyrics in English. Thaks to him/her who has translated them.


"The street gets filled with steps
Living, it is dying
Put your hand in mine, let's be quiet
Ask me [to come] for a morning tea
Water the dried [plant ~ man]
It's August, and I am grain [~ready for harvest]

It's not joy I cry for, not sorrow I cry for
If I cry, it's just for the sake of it
I'll be elsewhere before you notice it [at all]

I loved her a lot
You, I sometimes love even more
But [please] be her, for me, for a while

Take me in your dreams
Though i get on other trains
It is October, and you can see it on me

When I come close [attached] to you
even gods believe in me
though I myself, I don't always do

It's not joy I cry for, not sorrow I cry for
If I cry, it's just for the sake of it
I'll be elsewhere before you notice it [at all]

I loved her a lot
You, I sometimes love even more
But [please] be her, for me, for a while"
