Palkkasoturi [English translation]

Being soldier is his occupation, he's fighting constantly

He is happy doing his job, supposedly

He's annihilating and killing, yet he's always smiling

He knows nothing of peace and love

He's a valiant man and has shown us many skills,

he fights with missiles and spears

Although he's only just turned 16 years old,

yet he's serving in his thousandth year

He fights in behalf of China and of France, Vietnam,

he is defending the USA

For behalf of war he's destroying himself and everything,

He thinks for wars to disappear that way

He's a Catholic, an Atheist, also a Jew,

and he's Protestant as well

He knows he shouldn't kill, he's killing nonetheless,

for behalf of you, me and a friend

Without him Hitler would have never gotten his victories,

without him Caesar would have stood alone

Without the likes of him, would there be any war,

Or would all the horrors shade away?

He's a soldier, nothing more, so do accuse him

Yet his orders come from far away no more

He receives them from you and me, oh brothers do you see:

This way the war will never be ending
