Hello,

can someone translate this song:

Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan by Nightwish

Kerran vain haaveeni nahda sain
En pienuutta alla tahtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sielta kirjetta kirjoitan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Oman taivaan tanne loin
Anna minun paasta pois

Thanks in advance

Only once I got to see my dream
I didn't feel the smallness under the stars
Once I got bars to my cradle
From there I'm writing a letter as a prisoner
My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for*
In you, the beauty of the world
From which the death made me an artist
My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for
Created my own heaven here
Let me get away

* Even though I'm Finnish... I don't really get what the person who wrote the lyrics wanted to say Sorry if it's hard to understand the translation, it's because the original one in Finnish is really hard to understand too

Thank you!

Tell me just one more thing, how would you translate the song's title? Kuolema means "death" or "dying"... AFAIK

[lollipop]

Kuolema tekee taiteilijan = Death makes an Artist

[gotterdamerung]

I am amazed by these extremely poetic lyrics :O
Really beautiful song... I thought it's about nature and it's dying and decomposition due to all this pollution BS and stuff... nevertheless, amazing verses. Thanks to both of you for explanation / translation

Tuomas is a genius!

Could someone please translate into Finnish: "I wish beautiful black winged angels take care of your sleeping"?

Thank you!

[lollipop]

"I wish beautiful black winged angels take care of your sleeping"
Toivon, että kauniit mustasiipiset enkelit pitävät huolta unestasi

[Aletheia]

Thank you so much!!
