Lyrics of Tampere By Night - Juice Leskinen

Tampere By Night (original)

En ole Tampereen vanha hautausmaa
Missä Viidan Late moikkasi kuolemaa
Olen synnytyslaitos, käyn elämään kiinni kuin leipään
Mutta elämä on alla lumen ja jään
Se on vankina jokaisen kusipään
Joka arvossa kohoaa nieltyään rautaseipään
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
(Allright, allright, allright)
Sitä hallita ei, se hallitsee
Ja mä ihmettelen, mitä viljelee
Mies, joka kynsien altakin myynyt on maansa
Hän orpona tähtiä pyydystää
Niitä kiinni ei saa, vaan pilveen jää
Hän itsestään luopuu ja huutaa Jumalaansa
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tässä seison ja synkeitä lauluja teen
Katson joka yö tähänkin kuvastimeen
Ja on peilissä vika, jos kasvoni vetäytyy punaan
«Enkä aina ole varmaan siitä mihin meen»
Näin sanoi julkea nainen kaverilleen
«Kato, soittajapoikia, niitä on moneen junaan»
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!

(translation)

I am not the old cemetery of Tampere
Where Viidan Late greeted death
I'm a maternity ward, I catch life like bread
But life is under the snow and ice
It is a prisoner of every asshole
Who rises in value after swallowing iron soap
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
(All right, all right, all right)
It is not controlled, it controls
And I wonder what's growing
A man who has sold under his fingernails is his country
As an orphan, he catches the stars
You can't catch them, but stay in the cloud
He renounces himself and cries out to his God
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Here I stand and make dark songs
I look at this camera every night, too
And there's something wrong with the mirror if my face turns red
«And I'm not always sure where I'm going»
That's what the insolent woman said to her friend
«Kato, bellboys, there are many trains»
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
Tampere by night!
