Just cried
We had a fight with ourselves and then we cried.
We were angry with ourselves, so we cried.
The torrent of tears was shedding from my own eyes
The condition of the heart was critical, what did you cry?
The mind was not under control, we had become stubborn at all, if we could not understand any way, then we cried.
Smile started pricking Aino too at last
We cried because of how we used to talk to the walls.
We had everything, there was no shortage of anything, just we were not with us, so we cried.
Walking on thorns had become a habit and
But there were blisters, they were compelled to do what they cried.
Now it seems as if the reason for our life
There will be no turning left, you cried ahead.
