Paroles et traduction Kaija Koo - Illan tullen

Illan tullen

Illan tullen tahtoisin sut vied oopperaan
Ja juhlimaan kuin huomista ei olisikaan
Vaikka ois velle sikari ortaan
Ja jos tahtoisin naurattaa kyttisin omaa rahaa
Mutta kun illan tullen typivn tyteen saan
Niin nousen R-junaan
Min taidan olla tavallinen aivan
Ja Rhodokselle joskus taas sinut vien
Tavernaan jossa suomeksi meit palvellaan
Ja tarjoilijan hymy on kuin helminauhaa
Siit pari helme puuttuu, multa ei puutu mitn
Kun onnelliseksi tehd sut saan
Illan tullen veisin sut sellaiseen paikkaan
Jossa puhutaan ett kunkonkorve lopetti lentonsa
Mihin tss maailmassa voi en luottaa
Illan tullen veisin sut ihan mihin vaan
Mutta kun illan tullen lapset saan nukkumaan
On pakko silmt ummistaa
Min taidan olla tavallinen aivan
Ja Rhodokselle joskus taas sinut vien
Tavernaan jossa suomeksi meit palvellaan
Ja tarjoilijan hymy on kuin helminauhaa
Siit pari helme puuttuu, multa ei puutu mitn
Kun onnelliseksi tehd sut saan
Min taidan olla tavallinen aivan
Kun Itkeskukseen sut vien,
Susta eksyn, pyydn kuuluttamaan
Kovanisist nimes kuulla saan
Kumpa kaikki tiets sulle kuulun m vaan
On hyv olla tavallinen, illan tullen oon kanssas onnellinen

When the Evening Comes

When the evening comes I'd like to take you to the opera
And celebrate as if there were no tomorrow
Even if it means I have to sell my vintage cigar
And if I wanted to make you laugh, I'd throw my own money around
But when the evening comes, I'm stuck with a boring routine
So I get on the R train
I guess I'm as ordinary as they come
And one day I'll take you to Rhodes
To a tavern where they speak Finnish
And the waiter's smile is like pearls
A few of those pearls are missing, but I have everything I need
When I can make you happy
When the evening comes, I'd take you to a place
Where they say the kingfisher has stopped flying
Who can I trust in this world?
When the evening comes, I'd take you anywhere at all
But when the evening comes and the children are asleep
I have to close my eyes
I guess I'm as ordinary as they come
And one day I'll take you to Rhodes
To a tavern where they speak Finnish
And the waiter's smile is like pearls
A few of those pearls are missing, but I have everything I need
When I can make you happy
I guess I'm as ordinary as they come
When I take you to the Lost and Found
I lose track of you, and ask them to make an announcement
I'll hear your name over the loudspeaker
I wish everyone knew that you belong to me alone
It's good to be ordinary, and when the evening comes, I'm happy with you
