I HAVE LIVED IN THE CITY OF LOVE

Lauri Viita(1916-1965)

I have lived in the city of Love

and been happiest in the world.

Oh, moving on! In the labyrinth of memories

is the unhappiest discoverer.

Olen asunut rakkauden kaupungissa, published in 1964, is translated from Ne runot, jotka jäivät. Runoja kokoelmien ulkopuolelta(WSOY 2016), page 70.
