This was a very popular Finnish group in the 1990´s. Their music was influenced by earlier left-wing political agitation even though the motifs for the lyrics were mostly found from individual life. I like some of their songs. Sinä lähdit pois is basically a sad song but in it setbacks of life are handled with Finnish calmness. I could watch the video a hundred times (maybe it´s the airplanes). I thought I could add it here as a souvenir.
Ultra Bra:
Sinä lähdit pois You went away
Aamuyöllä kumpikaan meistä ei jaksa enää juhlia. In the small hours neither of has enough strength to celebrate.
Aamuyöllä kumpikaan meistä ei jaksa enää juhlia. In the small hours neither of has enough strength to celebrate.
Väsyneet katseet, käheät äänet, taustalla aurinko, joka ei lämmitä. Tired glances, raspy voices, in the background the sun that doesn’t warm.
Taustalla aurinko joka ei lämmitä. In the background the sun that doesn’t warm.
Sinä lähdit pois, You went away,
minä katselin parvekkeelta loittonevaa selkääsi. I was in the balcony watching your back which moved further away.
Kiersit vesilammikot, ja arvaan, ettet murehdi You walked round the puddles, and I guess you are not going to mourn
tätä eroa. this farewell.
Pensaiden kaikki laulavat linnut aamulla ennen seitsemää. All the singing birds in the bushes before seven in the morning.

Sinä lähdit pois…You went away…
Yön viimeinen drinkki The last drink of the night
aamiaiseksi vaihtuu. changes into a breakfast.
Lisäsin siihen kahvia. I added some coffee into it.
Sinä lähdit pois…You went away…
(Music Kerkko Koskinen, Lyrics Anni Sinnemäki)
