I said to myself: this is gonna work out just fine

I suggest the context is from the lovely song by Rauli Badding Somerjoki, "Paratiisi", lyrics by Arja Tiainen.

"sä sanoit menkäämme
maalle meidän landelle
mietin nyt juttu tää onnistuu"

-(non-poetic) translation could thus be:

You said let us go to my summer cottage
I said to myself this is gonna work out just fine

I think this works

Literally
mietin - I think/I consider/
tää (tämä) - this
onnistuu - succeeds

Difficult without further context
