Matalii ja mustii [English translation]

Let us young girls sing

so that other will hear too

so that this village's boys don't

think us quite mute

Sorrows I'll throw along the road

and joys I'll take with me

Where I see a pretty boy

there I'll stay the night

So this is what this village's

best boys are like?

Like pigs in front of the drying-house

they're nudging each other

These boys are like

something from behind the wall

Anyone who takes that one

must be crazy

The boys in this village should be put

into a single gap in the fence

squeeze with pliers

and forge with a hammer

The girls in this village are like

the front of a boat

Our village's girls are like

figures in a painting

The girls in this village are

little balls

Short and black

like tarred shoes

The girls in this village are

Short and black

Our village's crows

are just like that

I'm that little girl

tiny like a cat

And I wouldn't be anywhere else

but in the boys' rooms

People call it a sin

and a sin I suppose it is

To go and to lie

next to that wild boy

Ui ui ui...

Just so I loved you

and just as much others

For a lark I hugged you

and gave you kisses

Sweetheart thought I was grieving

but I do nothing of the sort

A new one was in my sights

before the old was left behind

Don't you grieve, don't you worry

you poor boy

Of me you'll get a great wife

Drunk and lazy

My sweetheart chides me

because I enjoy the booze

But one doesn't have strength to embrace

if one drinks water like a pike

There comes a fine lad

Pity the poor thing

Won't know which to take

when there are so many of us

Ui ui ui ui ui ui ui...
