Baden-Baden [English translation]

One day I was sad and broke

I'd just been fired from work, this recession and all

I scratched my head thinking where I could get money

All I could do was cry but that made me think

I'll bottle my tears and sell them to Sahara

Where the dry barren lands needs them

The president heard of my idea, too

This could be a solution to our export problems, she thought

Production is cheap for Finland is quite a depressed country

And bigger money is in Europe instead of Africa

So we'll bottle our tears

and sell them to Baden-Baden

Where Finland's tears are pumped into fountains

Yeah, we'll bottle our tears, take them to Baden-Baden by train

Where tourists will bathe in them

So the nation wept and the economy rose back to its feet

And the joy started but tears of joy weren't enough

The government thought long and hard: how to solve this crisis

Until someone remembered how to remove the alcohol tax

And again we bottle tears

Sell them to Baden-Baden

Where Finland's sorrows are pumped into fountains

yeah, we'll bottle our tears, take them to Baden-Baden by train

Where tourists will bathe in them
