| Kun olin pieni poika, kuulin isn tarinoita
| When I was a little boy, I heard isn stories
|
| Sankareista, joille kumarrellaan
| Of the heroes to whom they bow
|
| Kertoi kaikki suuret retket ja tyttymyksen hetket
| Told all the great excursions and moments of fullness
|
| Jota saaneet on he matkoillaan
| What they have received on their travels
|
| Jotenkin m kaiken uskoin, niin hienolta ne tuntui
| Somehow m everything I thought so great they felt
|
| Olla esimerkkiaikuinen
| Be an example adult
|
| Ja vaikka menis henki l ole toisen renki
| And even if you go to the spirit l not another servant
|
| Nyrkit pystyss hn mulle vakuuttaa
| His fists upright him to convince me
|
| Sitten kasvoin vanhemmaksi, kait hankalammaksi
| Then I grew older, looking harder
|
| Kun en tarinoihin uskonutkaan
| When I didn't believe the stories
|
| Pist poika hienot vaatteet ja isnmaasi aatteet
| Pist the boy in great clothes and the ideas of your homeland
|
| Muista poika mit kertonut oon
| Remember what the boy said
|
| Ole esimerkkilapsi niin kasvat vahvemmaksi
| Be an example child and you will grow stronger
|
| Pset maatasi puolustamaan
| Pset your country to defend
|
| Ja vaikka menis henki l kenenkn renki
| And even if the spirit goes to anyone's servant
|
| Muista nyrkit, joita tytyy heiluttaa
| Remember the fists you want to wave
|
| Nyt se poika tll menee menojaan
| Now that boy is going to spend it
|
| Hakkaa ptn seinn ja laulaa laulujaan
| Hit ptn seinn and sing his songs
|
| Nyt se poika nauraa ja muita naurattaa
| Now that boy is laughing and making others laugh
|
| Eik muuta tahdo oppiakkaan
| And I don't want to learn anything else
|
| T mulle riittkn, muut sotansa sotikoon
| T me enough, the rest of the war warfare
|
| T mulle riittkn, ennemmn oppinut oon kuin uskotkaan
| That's enough for me, I've learned rather than you think
|
| Ei hienot sanat sovi, sivistyksessk lovi
| Not great words fit, notch in civilization
|
| On tn hienon perheen kauhukakaran
| There is this great family of horror
|
| Ei se mennyt armeijaan, opetellut puolustamaan
| It did not go into the army, learned to defend
|
| Vaikka hnt niin opetettiin
| Although hnt so was taught
|
| Niin paljon rahaa sai aina joka lauantai
| I always got so much money every Saturday
|
| Is murtuneena pillitt
| Is a broken whistle
|
| Ja jotain syvemmlt kuin pintaelmlt
| And something deeper than the surface
|
| Halusin ja sen lytnyt oon
| I wanted it and found it
|
| Tahdoin itse jotain ptt, tahdoin itse jotain nytt
| I wanted something myself, I wanted something now
|
| Joka hetken elmll tytt
| Every moment is gone
|
| Ja vaikka kylm valtatie usein synkkkin lie
| And even a cold highway is often a gloomy place
|
| Niin paljon m oppinut oon
| I have learned so much
|
| Ett toinen ihminen kullan arvoinen, sit kertonut et ollenkaan
| That another person worth gold, you said you did not at all
|
| Tt tahdon elmlt, koska tuntuu hyvlt
| I want this out of my life because I feel good
|
| Eik tarvitse nyrkki ilmassa heiluttaa
| No need to wave your fist in the air
|
| Nyt se poika tll menee menojaan…
| Now that boy is going to spend it…
|
| Nyt se poika tll menee menojaan… | Now that boy is going to spend it… |
