Alla Lyrics English translation

The shadows silently take us
To the harbor of dreams
You are silent, even though you know
The storm will return

Heaven, it showed us
The signs of hell
On the only bark
Lies the man ["man" here as in human]

(chorus)
Under the waves it quiets down ["it" here refers to a person, a common informal use of the word in Finnish]Harmaja - Alla - http://motolyrics.com/harmaja/alla-lyrics-english-translation.html
Sighs a word from its lips

Quietly, as a dead chord
Whispers with care
(His/Her) only hymn
Everyone knows it

Rises/Stands up once more
Above the waves
Once the whisper
Calls above the clouds ["call" here could be translated in many, many ways, but I feel this represents the feeling rather well]

(chorus)

And reaches for/(to) a hand

(chorus)
