Piru irti [English translation]

Suits1 sit in black cars

with cognac on their breasts

Speaking in such a Finnish that is not

understood in the wide woodlands, they curse: A gentleman2 is a gentleman

and a worker will always be a worker

The gentlemen talk shit and the worker

drinks vodka3 on Saturday

The gentleman's fear is the dawning4 of wisdom

Thus we were taught

It was swallowed without chewing and at the same time

thinking was stopped

The heads rattle the stars

The feet are off the ground

The same flight of fancy5 and still

it seems like hell had broken loose

Here the small poor wretch

takes the beating from the world

over and over again and still

celebrates as if all hell had broken loose

Men put on weight, women lose it

it shows that our people

live in a high and soon

will wriggle with shit in the pants

We keep our mouths shut

although we know this and still

damn ourselves:

Who broke loose all hell?
