Kun me diskossa suudeltiin [English translation]

I saw you first time in a new light

it was the summer of our confirmation school

You had visited a hairdresses in Salo (1)

You'd gotten a cool permanent nest (2)

I came on to you with coke bottle glasses

There were no laser (surgeries) back then

Tchernobyl created a safety hazard

but it was a wonderful time

When we fell in love, there was gun powder in it (3)

We closed our eyes from the phenomena of the time

Your little brother got the Commodore

We listened to that strumming every night

Gorbatchov visited "Manu" (Mauno Koivisto) (4)

Finland was a door to the world for him.

Bon Jovi drove girls crazy when we kissed at the disco

The depression came and we fought about everything

Money can press down love

We used to thank mum for some crisp bread

when we had no money at all

In the end, my career cost me my family

You can't have everything in life

But the whole 80's you endured me

and it was a wonderful time

When we fell in love, there was gun powder in it

We closed our eyes from the phenomena of the time

Your little brother got the Commodore

We listened to that strumming every night

Gorbatchov visited "Manu" (Mauno Koivisto)

Finland was a door to the world for him.

Bon Jovi drove girls crazy when we kissed at the disco

We saw each other again at the Lohja beach jam

in 2008

Exactly 15 years had passed

I was still crazy about you

We had both grown up

yet there was some magic in your eyes

The whole 80's you endured me

and it was a wonderful time

When we fell in love, there was gun powder in it

We closed our eyes from the phenomena of the time

Your little brother got the Commodore

We listened to that strumming every night

Gorbatchov visited "Manu" (Mauno Koivisto)

Finland was a door to the world for him.
