      Mä painan nenän vasten kylmää ikkunaa
      ja katson ulos elämään
      Jos voisin peiton alle jäädä nukkumaan
      en haluaisi mennä mihinkään
      I push my nose up against the cold window
      and take a look at life outside
      If only I could stay sleeping under the blanket
      I don't feel like going anywhere
  2. cover, coverage (generally)
