Kiitollisuutta [English translation]

Hey, Raappanaman

How's it going?

Hello hello! What's up, Jukka?

It's been a long day but

I still have patience

Yeah, I've had a lot going on as well but

let's not coplain

Let's rather make a good song, huh?

I think so!

Being happy is a difficult thing

The world is full of useless whining

Wants, wants, wants, but one doesn’t get what one wants

When one gets what one wants, one doesn't want it anymore

Until one day one may realize

Jah Jah remains, other things disappear

Only love floats, other things sink

Gratitude

It is easy to forget

That this life is not to be taken for granted

It was a close call

The road was dangerous

But we survived

It could backfire

if I

raised my head up to the clouds

or got drunk from material

and didn't appreciate the gift of life at all

Gratitude

I wanna see gratitude

You have to be more grateful

And every day, every night even more

Gratitude

I wanna see gratitude

You have to be more grateful

There's always something missing

You have to get everything possible

A material mind cannot change

But I thank the one who is to be thanked

Thank you, I say "Thank you, Jah"

Thank you, I say "Thank you, Jah"

Gratitude

I want some gratitude

You have to be more grateful

And every day, every night even more

And why do we people complain about meaningless things

Even when we know conditions elsewhere

And we're not suffering from lack of food

They're throwing it away, it's like a murder

You can't die of grief from bankruptcy

That cannot mislead you from your course

No-o

Even though everything is not perfect

Just lemonade and confetti

Sometimes it's good to take some perspective

To broaden your view

And when you see the world

Wide and cruel even, maybe you'll notice:

There's a lot that's taken for granted

I'm starting to realize it too

little byt little

I've been blessed since I was a baby

I was my mother's blessed burden

Well, it's Jukka poika and Raappana

Chief Kana playing the saxophone, here comes raw

Gratitude

I wanna see gratitude

Little more gratitude

To my heart and where ever I go

You have to be more grateful

And every day, every night even more

You have to be more grateful

Being happy is a difficult thing

The world is full of useless whining

Wants, wants, wants, but one doesn’t get what one wants

When one gets what one wants, one doesn't want it anymore

Until one day one may realize

Mhmm, Ahh, Oh, yes, yes yes…

Gratitude

I want some gratitude to my heart

Gratitude

Whatever I do

Where ever I go

Come on now
