Once in a while it is necessary to volunteer
Uppruna mál: Enskt Umsett av Maribel

Once in a while it is necessary to volunteer
and lead a bad life, dare to be totally out
when you empty your head it helps you to endure
it makes the stress go away
Once in a while it is necessary to volunteer
and lead a bad life, dare to be totally out
it heals your misery and gives your soul some rest
it feels so soft
Viðmerking um umsetingina
Usually this refers to sinking your worries in the drinking and in the partying so much that you are totally out of your ordinary life and trusting that the break (and the forgetting) is a comfort/relief to your soul.

Αργά και πού είναι απαραίτητο να προσφέρεις
και να καθοδηγείς μια κακή ζωή, να τολμάς να είσαι τελείως εκτός
όταν αδειάζεις το κεφάλι σου σε βοηθά να αντέχεις
κάνει το στρες να φεύγει μακριά
Αργά και που είναι απαραίτητο να προσφέρεις
και να καθοδηγείς μια κακή ζωή, να τολμάς να είσαι τελείως εκτός
Θεραπεύει τη δυστυχία σου και δίνει στη ψυχή σου λίγη ξεκούραση
είναι τόσο ευχάριστο
Viðmerking um umsetingina
Η τελευταία γραμμή θα μπορούσε να μεταφραστεί ως:
-είναι τόσο όμορφο (το να ξεφεύγεις που και που)
-είναι τόσο ωραίο

does "it feels so soft" have something to do with the touch? It's soft/hard/... ???
Or does she wanted to say that it feels so "good" and "pleasant" when you "are totally out"???

I have no idea - this is a translation from the original Finnish. Maribel, can you help chrysso91 here?

Actually, chrysso91, you might want to take a look at Maribel's comment under the English translation.

Both of your suggestions may be right because the last line feels to me like it would be out of context - and then again it fits... I don't know the song which is why I would have liked to know what it is and check it out.

I think it is a metaphor for some kind of feeling at ease, comfort, pleasantness. It refers to the saying we use "life is hard" meaning that it is demanding, mostly unfair, treats you badly etc. On the contrary, "life is soft" is not normally said, but in a poem or song lyricist wants to play with words. Here by using a surprising adjective "soft" he makes us think the opposite to "hard", not in a concrete way but as a feeling. And the poet leaves us listeners to find a more suitable adjective in our minds, a good trick, but very difficult to translate.

Does this help at all? I think using "pleasant" or "good" would be fine to convey the meaning.
