Merenneitoni ja minä [English translation]

I was walking on the beach lost in my thoughts

When she stood in front of me

A wonderlously beautiful woman said:

"I'm your mermaid"

And she took me with her to the water*

I hoped Ahti wouldn't be home

"Hey, don't be afraid, Ahti isn't here", she said

"He's somewhere far away fishing"

Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...

Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...

We had more fun

My mermaid and me

She gave me some miracle elixir

And I was able to breath in the water

And she dove down and took my hand

I gasped for air in wonderment

You never get to see such a beautiful view on dry land

"Still, beware of the fishing hooks", she said

"They are pretty bad sometimes"

Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...

Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...

We had more fun

My mermaid and me

At the same time a commotion had started above the surface

Has a popular rock star drowned?

Only an old wrist watch was found on the beach

And clothes that had belonged to him

Karjalainen couldn't stay on the surface

I can already see the headline

He must've suffered Kristian's faith

To speed up his record sales, that is

His career is at its lowest point

Staged his death by drowning

Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...

Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...

We had more fun
