Vanha koulukuva [English translation]

1st verse:

The old class photo from which you can barely recognize yourself.

Shivering in that picture in their skimpy, tight dresses

those girls of the front row; pressing their thighs together

until they finally went over the edge on their wild trips.

Chorus:

They never got back, I guess,

never returned to hang around at the school’s smoking place.

One of them went permanently to the La-La Land

and the other one was found on a frozen lake wearing no clothes.

2nd verse:

The other kind of girls had been taught how to curtsy.

Their hair neatly done, make-up on the rosy cheeks.

Since the front-row girls never snitched on each other

they were made to sob, and wipe their shame onto the streets.

(Chorus)
