The song I just linked. My LULLABY when I was a kid. That ALL Finn's know-
X
Vague English translation;
The bar fly bit me, but why grieve over it?
Years ago I found the medicine to take care of the bite,
Underneath a cognac bottle and underneath the happy stars,
I've had this good feeling since then,
If you can't see my cheeks from behind, where's the problem?
Social welfare should've taken care of me,
'Cause the wine goes into your cheeks (posket; mouth) first and then to your brain,
And from there it hits your arms and the rest of your body
(CHORUS) So ryyppäämään [/ the VERB for "getting hammered"] , ryyppäämään, every morning we're sännätään[/ a quick sprinting movement to a goal. Like the rush that happens when people go shop for Black Friday.]
And when the day is over we're just going to get more hammered. [kännätään; another verb for being hammered, it literally means being shit faced drunk]
I want to be juovuksissa [/ another verb for being drunk; means more 'sloshed' and 'under the influence]all days as well as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
The Police are known to 'slap me around'
They take me from the yard with their bar fly swatters,
Oh if I could just stay at the bar and fall asleep here,
Because all of my human rights have slipped away from me
(CHORUSx2)
And somewhere right now, they're plotting the rise of alcohol prices
I sit at the bar and thirst for revenge,
But it's not worth it to jump around "on all four" [/ cripple yourself to the ground yourself]
It's already far too easy for others to pick my wings off
(CHORUS x2)
