Ajetaan tandemilla [English translation]

I came from the jungle, from a ditch and the bog 1

From the low deck you looked when I was searching for the way

I wandered on roads around, with briefcase full of garlands

Don't throw me away from your embrace, now that I can stand on two feet

chorus:

We are riding on a tandem2

making noise and spitting

On home town's streets

they are asking where the wedding will be hold

I have been in Tibet, Moscow, Rööperi3

I always wondered the reason why I cannot stay

When it is freezing outside, it's good to stagger home with beanie on head

Listening to the summer nights, when goddammits are ringing4 in the trees

chorus x2

I have been selling cranes, peddled tiles

traveled around lands until my mind brightened up

Village idiot5 got home from under a palm tree

Still you looked the prettiest, again I fell in love like this

chorus x2

lalaa lalaa...
