The lyrics really make this song, and the translations don't do them justice. There's a deep melancholy at the bottom of this love song: in the beginning she sings of looking forward to the good and the bad years, and later there's an awareness of how the bad years will manifest - the reality of death and the possibility of losing oneself to dementia ("when my memories are gone"), and choosing to say "always" regardless. I'm typically not a lyrics person at all but these are beautiful.
@@macgyver1618 oh Dementia ! That's why she says something about if she forgets about their love, he can always listen to the song and know that she loves that person. Ugh!!! The lyrics are just amazing !!!!!!! I wish there was a way to do a staging that can somehow showcase all these emotions!
In the translation it says he can listen to the song. There is no word about "song" (laulu). In fact it translates to more like: if someday I lose my memory, know that you will always be in my heart" as in even though I would lose my memory, my heart remembers. And exactly, as this is an ultra-romantic song, very pink, the harsh reality in the end slaps your face: that would be ideal if heart would remember, but in reality, losing your memories due to a sickness, you lose pretty much every memory. Your heart is not the thinking and remembering organ. So in fact, even if this song as a whole would translate to "being eternally yours", there is not eternity. Love is just a fading memory.
Finnish is really beautiful language, points for singing in national language, even though I don't understand it. But I don't know if it's song strong enough for Eurovision, depends on how many ballads were going to have

@@Kostis_ESC There could be an old couple dancing on the stage, that would be cute
@sofiat8067 hmmm... That could actually be very cute but there's also the fear of looking a bit cheesy. But sometimes cheesy is cute..!
Laina = borrowed. Aina = Always. Sounds same 👍
@@itsgoodiewoodie oh thank you!! Makes sense ❤️
