Pohjois-Karjala [English translation]

I wanted to meet Anneli

I knew she was still looking for me

life didn't give us all that much

only a sausage stand stood at the end of the rainbow

we laughed at people who threw up at the bar

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

changing my jeans for sweatpants

back home to North Karelia

I'll drink beer 'til the sunrise

Walking the side alleys of life

I still hope I'll find happiness somewhere

I'm not even asking for all that much

just enough to offer rounds at the bar

I'd cover my alimony with lottery tickets

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

changing my jeans for sweatpants

back home to North Karelia

I'll drink beer 'til the sunrise

Though I lost my path

I'm holding on to the remains of my happiness

for if I treated you badly

I could've been worse

atleast I tried

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

changing my jeans for sweatpants

back home to North Karelia

I'll drink beer 'til the sunrise

My North Karelian girl...
