Varjoon alta polttavan auringon
Varjoon tieltä tuskien päästävä on
Suojaan alta hehkuvan taivahan
Suojaan luokse vihreän keitahan
Yllä auringon hohde, alla on polttava maa
Mielessä varjoisa kohde, jonne yksin kulkea saan
Varjoon alta polttavan auringon
Varjoon pian pois minun päästävä on
Suojaan alta hehkuvan taivahan
Suojaan alle lehdistön tuuhean
Varjoon valokeilojen julkeain
Varjoon tahdon seurasta kuuluisain
Suojaan luota polttavan rakkauden
Suojaan luokse kaipauksen hiljaisen
Rauhaton eloni on vain, kaiken nyt kestää mä saan
Jo mainetta kylliksi sain, rauhaan mä kaipailen vaan
Varjoon valokeiloista tahdon pois
Varjoon yksinäistä vaikk’ siellä ois
Suojaan tahdon viimeinkin rauhaisaan
Silloin vasta onneni vihdoin saan
Into the shadow, from under the burning sun
Into the shadow, from the street of suffering
To safety, from under the glowing sky
To safety, to a lush oasis
Above is sunshine, below is a burning land
In my mind is a shaded getaway, to which I can stroll alone
Into the shadow, from under the burning sun
Into the shadow, I must soon go
To safety, from under the glowing sky
To safety, beneath the dense foliage*
Into the shadow, shameless spotlights
Into the shadow, free of the famous
To safety, from a burning love
To safety, to a silent longing
My life is restless, I’ve had all I can take
I’ve had enough of fame, peace is all I long for
Into the shadow, I want to be out of the spotlight
Into the shadow, although I’ll be lonely there
To safety, I want peace finally
And then I’d be happy at last
