Huolettomat [English translation]

Back then the carefree rooms were full here

Always the same: tell them that we were here

Spent the night, the ceiling beams rocked around 1

No, we were certainly not sad

Back then the carefree rooms were full here

Those who drank for pleasure tasted every pint

Those who drank for pleasure tasted every pint

The stairs remain awake like a creaking

Every boy steps past rather than being left without

If the old man hears, the sheriff's cart will come

Back then the carefree rooms were full here

Those who drank for pleasure tasted every pint

And in every corner they created their own joys!

Be silent on the edge, or it will begin before us

The waves carry us, like ice carrying feet

Once when it was windy, he rowed ashore

The echoing reeds brought the Reaper2

Our legs are straightened by eternal running

The overseer has strong legs, but ours grow younger

The boy gets lost, or he flees up into a tree

The contagious laughter may reach even the mouth of the Reaper

The boy does not feel fear, he grows up into a rogue

All kinds of people always tag along

Today is today, and who knows what tomorrow may bring

Back then the carefree rooms were full here

Those who drank for pleasure tasted every pint

Back then the carefree rooms were full here

Those who drank for pleasure tasted every pint

And in every corner they created their own joys!

The weight of the place awaits, but the singing will not cease

But the singing will not cease: cease disease, cease!

1. This phrase probably means that there was a lot of energetic dancing and partying.2. The Finnish word "noutaja" literally means "taker", but it's a common nickname for death similar to the English "reaper".
