Ajallaan

Only managed to do a quick one-take recording with the phone microphone, and with ukulele this week.
Ajallaan means "In time" or maybe "in due time". This is a newer song I'm working on. I notice it brings me comfort to play it as a way to gain perspective, when having gotten caught up with daily stresses and dramas. It's a little contemplation on the nature of life, and the grander scheme of things
Ajallaan (Original finnish lyrics)
---------------------
Kaikella on aikansa
Ja ajallaan on kaikkea
Ja koko ajan jotain tapahtuu
Mitä jos mä olisinkin joku ihan muu?
Kaikella on aikansa
Ja ajallaan kaikki kuolee
Mutta ensin me eletään myös
Se panee miettimään mikä on se työ
Josta sielu unelmoi kun koittaa yö
Kaikella on aikansa
Ja ajallaan me muututaan
Vaikkei haluttaiskaan
Täytyy kai kasvaa ja avautua
Muutoksen - huomiseen
Mutta myös eilisen vaikutikseen
Minne mä meen? Minne sä meet?
Minne me mennään? Mitä sä teet?
En tiedä mitään enää
Ehkä niin onkin hyvä elää
Kaikella on aikansa
Ja ajallaan kaikki katoaa
Muttei oikeastaan, ne vaan unohdetaan
Kunnes löytyy ajallaan uudestaan
Ajallaan (lyrics translated to English)
------------------------------------
Everything has its time
And in time there is everything
And all the time something is happening
What if I would be someone totally different?
Everything has its time
And in time everything dies
But first we also live
It makes me wonder what is the work
That my soul is dreaming of when the night falls
Everything has its time
And in time we change
Even though we wouldn't want to
I guess you have to grow and open up
For change - for tomorrow
But also for the influence of yesterday
Where am I going? Where are you going?
Where are we going? What are you doing?
I don't know anything anymore
Maybe that is a good way to live
Everything has its time
And in time everything disappears
But not really, it's just forgotten
Until its found, in time, again
