Bäkkiin Stadiin [English translation]

I have been touring since I got signed

This may not make you rich, but I'm having fun at least

This land has become well-known, I have been in every place

From Lappeenranta to Lapland and back via Vaasa

Pantsu drives, dogs bark, the caravan moves on

Every night the whole night until the bars close

To Kuopio to bring it in Puikkari or Henkka 1

Basic stuff, to remember you have to do your best

Then up to Oulu, where people brawl a lot

As a place for a gig it nearly outdoes other places in Finland

If Helsinki causes stress, traveling helps

And wherever we go, we go via Pohjanmaa 2

There's a legend circling Jyväskylä that we are coming

I couldn't get in to Bleiz even on my feet, let alone get out

In the club our crew is going hard all night

But the real carneval doesn't start until we get to the hotel

It won't stop until six am, hardly even then

In the morning sleeping as long as possible, and then again

Let's go, let's go, back to, back to, Helsinki, Helsinki

I don't limit my game only to the homeland

If the same faces bug me, I will jump on the right plane

Cosmopolitan- holic 3, it's always cool in Stockholm

When me and Peewee 4 chill in the east

Then the trip continues, more kronas into my pocket 5

Spending money with the Mastercard

Tee-productions take care of me in Oslo

That country is so expensive I can't brag with my salary

In Denmark people kind of have the sisu of Finland 6

We are not going further than the ocean to fish, when we go to Krisu 7

Have chilled many summer days in the Nemoland

With Tjes Boogie and Clemens, my men 8

I have performed in Amsterdam, believe it or not

We were on the red light district with Uniikki, watching live women

There's more, let's see

The best place I've been to is Fatobar in Paris

On the land, on sea or in the air, costs or not,

I want to visit every corner on Earth

I have done this my whole youth

Toured around my best years

Still blood draws 9 me home, wherever I am

Inside of my head, the spirit of Helsinki talks to me, saying

Let's go, let's go, back to, back to, Helsinki, Helsinki

To every town, village or parish

I may arrive to have fun

Summer or winter, outdoors or indoors

Doesn't matter, I'm here only for the day

I'm coming to your town, village or parish

But in the morning always homesickness hits me and then

Let's go, let's go, back to, back to, Helsinki, Helsinki

If we go back to Helsinki, Hesa 10, then

Very seldom I come home from Hesari 11 before Hesari 12

This is the place, where yuppies and yokels together stress

About what they look like, I change clothes and let's go, let's go

The drinking culture we also handle well here

Getting shit-faced or rat-arsed, it's basic stuff

And as a base this is the only one and right for me

The bars are within walking distance from home

Have explored bars since I was sixteen

All of the pubs and clubs, wouldn't even stand it anymore

Highlight, Tiger, Roba, Viva, Opera 13

And it isn't our thing to wait in queue

If there's hiphop clubs, we'll be there for sure

In Nosturi or Gloria I may get up on stage

Little metropolis in our little country

There's always something happening if you're depressed

The language won't probably make sense to you once again 14

But you can't challenge Helsinki even in your mind

All the way from the pubs in the hoods to the clubs in the centre

There's an own place for hippies, yokels, yuppies

And to everyone else, even a spot for you

I just love this small city of mine, so

let's go, let's go, back to, back to, Helsinki, Helsinki

To every town, village or parish

I may arrive to have fun

Summer or winter, outdoors or indoors

Doesn't matter, I'm here only for the day

I'm coming to your town, village or parish

But in the morning always homesickness hits me and then

Let's go, let's go, back to, back to, Helsinki, Helsinki

1. some bars 2. when you say "via Pohjanmaa", (which is a place) it's like finnish for bottoms up 3. doesn't mean the drink :D 4. swedish rapper 5. swedish currency 6. sisu is a word that has no translation into english, but it's like determination, bravery, persistence 7. this word fisu, also means to go drinking, because fisu is a drink in Finland. I assume Krisu is a place in Denmark 8. danish rappers 9. I don't know if you can say this in english, but it's a saying in Finland that blood draws you somewhere, meaning you can't escape from doing something because it's your passion and in your blood. 10. nickname 11. a street 12. newspaper of Helsinki, comes in the morning 13. bars 14. in Helsinki there's an own slang, sometimes hard to understand by people who don't live near it
