Lyrics of Miksi Ne Neijot - White Owl

Miksi Ne Neijot (original)

Miksi ne neijot, miksi ne neijot, miksi ne neijot vetta kantaa, miksi ne neijot
vetta kantaa.
Lapi jo linnan, lapi jo linnan: lapi jo linnan lahtehesta:
Isolleni, isolleni: isolleni silmie pesta:
Pese jo iso, pese jo iso: pese jo iso silmiasi:
Mane jo iso, mane jo iso: mane jo iso markkinoille:
Osta jo iso, osta jo iso: osta jo iso ilveshattu:
Pojallesi, pojallsesi: pojallesi puolahattu:
(Ja) tyttarelle, ja tyttarelle: tyttarelle tyynyliina:
Emannalle, emannalle: emannalle esiliina:
Karelian trad.

(translation)

Why do they go, why do they go, why do they carry water, why do they go
to carry water.
Lapland is already a city, Lapland is already a city: Lapland is already a city
To my big, my big: my big eyes wash:
Wash already big, wash already big: Wash your big eyes:
Mane is already big, Mane is already big: Mane is already big
Buy Already Big, Buy Already Big: Buy Already Big Lynx Hat:
For your son, for your son: for your son a polka dot hat:
(And) for the daughter, and for the daughter: for the daughter, a pillowcase:
For the mother, for the mother: for the mother Apron:
