Risti(original) |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et olisi itse saanut työlläsi |
| Ja joka merkitsi mitään? |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et maksanut hiellä, verelläsi |
| Ja joka maksoi vaivan? |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et olisi itse voinut kieltää |
| Ja joka merkitsi mitään? |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et maksanut maineella, nimelläsi |
| Ja joka maksoi vaivan? |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et olisi itse saattanut hylätä |
| Ja joka merkitsi mitään |
| «Antoivat leivän nälkääsi |
| Ja kalan naapurin kanssa jakaa |
| Lapsille antoivat leluja |
| Lukivat imeville loruja |
| Sairaille pitivät kauan seuraa |
| Mutta almu-leipä oli kiveä |
| Ja syöpäläiset kalvoivat sitä kalaa |
| Lelusta ryömi sahaselkä mato |
| Sadusta syyllinen jumalanpelko |
| Oli sairasvuoteenkin täyte sontaa» |
| Mitä he antoivat sinulle |
| Jota et olisi itse saanut työlläsi |
| Ja joka merkitsi mitään? |
| Eivät vapautta |
| Eivät rohkeutta |
| Ei jumalan ylpeiden lapsien rakkautta |
| Eivät kauneutta |
| Eivät totuutta |
| Eivät valtaa, ymmärrystä, väkeä, voimaa |
| «Antoivat merkin turvaksi |
| Jumalansa voima jonka takaa |
| Lapsille piti olla opettaja |
| Imeville tulevan kaitsija |
| Vanhoille seppele maineen ojentaa |
| Antoivat ristin pelkoosi |
| Kuolleen jumalansa kanssa jakaa |
| Lapsille opetti valheita ja |
| Orjuuteen, totuuden sortaja |
| Kuolevat sankarit helvettiin ohjaa |
| Se ristin kiroukseen johtaa!» |
| (translation) |
| What they gave you |
| Which you wouldn't have gotten yourself at work |
| And which meant anything? |
| What they gave you |
| What you didn't pay for with your sweat, your blood |
| And who paid the trouble? |
| What they gave you |
| Which you couldn't deny yourself |
| And which meant anything? |
| What they gave you |
| Which you didn't pay for with your reputation, with your name |
| And who paid the trouble? |
| What they gave you |
| Which you could not have rejected yourself |
| And which meant nothing |
| «They gave bread to your hunger |
| And the fish with the neighbor to share |
| The children were given toys |
| They read nursery rhymes to babies |
| They kept the sick company for a long time |
| But the alms bread was a stone |
| And the crustaceans foiled that fish |
| A sawtooth worm crawled out of the toy |
| The culprit of the fairy tale is the fear of God |
| It was full of nonsense even during the sick year» |
| What they gave you |
| Which you wouldn't have gotten yourself at work |
| And which meant anything? |
| Not freedom |
| No courage |
| Not the love of God's proud children |
| Not beauty |
| Not the truth |
| Not power, understanding, people, strength |
| «They gave the sign as security |
| The power of his God which guarantees |
| There had to be a teacher for the children |
| The protector of the future suckling |
| To the old, the wreath of fame extends |
| They gave the cross to your fear |
| With his dead God to share |
| Children were taught lies and |
| To slavery, oppressor of truth |
| Dying heroes to hell guides |
| It leads to the curse of the cross!” |
