I've walked these roads my entire life
Because the factory has closed its doors
I've sold jallu1 and lace
I get to be proud of my region
Here are lakes where to bathe
To run naked around the forests
I can't bother to worry about tomorrow
There's drink in my glass
If they ask me anything
Then I answer
"I'm not in charge of anything"2
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Chug down everything that's left
from my tiny wage
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Even if my woman doesn't understand that either
This is basically another job, honey
Honey honey honey
Now I'll tell a story, drinking has increased
Jamppa Tuominen uses to say something similar
But this is an important issue
The holy pub must be kept open somehow
Outsiders say that's it's a dive
But to us villagers it's our entire lives
There's no time to go sleep at home
Otherwise our paradise will go bankcrupt
I can't bother to worry about tomorrow
There's drink in my glass
If they ask me anything
Then I answer
"I'm not in charge of anything"
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Chug down everything that's left
from my tiny wage
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Even if my woman doesn't understand that either
This is basically another job, honey
Honey honey honey
I'm supporting
I'm supporting
The owner of our local bar, the owner
I'm supporting
I'm supporting
The owner of our local bar
Tue paikallista
Even though it's expensive
In the local bar
In the local bar
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Chug down everything that's left
from my tiny wage
I'm supporting the owner of our local bar
Even if my woman doesn't understand that either
This is basically another job, honey
Honey honey honey
I'm supporting
I'm supporting
The owner of our local bar, the owner
I'm supporting
I'm supporting
The owner of our local bar
1. Jaloviina; a famous Finnish cut brandy2. A pun. "En vastaa" means both "I won't answer" and "I'm not in charge."
