Kovaa Teetä [English translation]

Prohibition dries out the bubbling meadows

Widows are crying, aftershave consoles

But cries are no good, and neither are mourning ribbons

No storm winds or temperate weather

When my ship enters the cooling harbour

Pour a regular dose of hard tea at a time

We go anticlockwise with the bottle cap

We make it there before the gates are closed

Promise covers a lot: you do see that

It covers the downs and the ups

And makes you work for a place in heaven

So, pour a regular dose of hard tea at a time

You can sense wicked from an amen

The crown's ride sets one in their way

Although the cuckoo scans the night

I dunk my face in the fountain of life once more

No one gets to take their load of life with them,

when everything ends up in a container with a lid

And to be too happy to load any guns

So, a regular dose at a time

A regular dose at a time,

A regular dose at a time,

Pour the hard tea
