Lapislatsulia [English translation]

Anssi say it went well tonight

He struck a tight outer spiral

Just at the last moment

In an old mens practice

Wife grunts

And looks for clothes and things to wear at her sister wedding

Deplores about her bad luck

Being born with big bones

Today Anssi has

a boys night in town

He does the lottery on his way

In his second cousins kiosk

Then he goes to Kerttus bar

Gets up on the flying time

Carries the winning numbers

In his pocket without knowing

Life is a hijacked flight

Departure gate twenty-six

A perch with silver sides that almost caught on the hook

A man sized trunk

Full of useless junk

With lucky pennies and lapis latzuli* amongst

Wife falls into sleep, clock turns four o'clock at night

Anssis cab slides into the yard, guy takes the couch willingly

And of the night stays to the morning a cannon ball on his forehead

And the lousy lottery ticket on the taxi seat

Life is a hijacked flight

Departure gate twenty-six

A perch with silver sides that almost caught on the hook

A man sized trunk

Full of useless junk

With lucky pennies and lapis latzuli amongst

And then a little later

The town was talking

that the chubby joker

Taxi driver **

Would've found an abandoned lottery ticket in his car

And in the traffic lights in the square

Left the empty Mercedes running

Life is a hijacked flight

Departure gate twenty-six

A perch with silver sides that almost caught on the hook

A man sized trunk

Full of useless junk

With lucky pennies and lapis latzuli amongst

Life is a hijacked flight

Departure gate twenty-six

A perch with silver sides that almost caught on the hook

A man sized trunk

Full of useless junk

With lucky pennies and lapis latzuli amongst

With lucky pennies and lapis latzuli amongst
