Kyyhkynen ja kyykäärme [English translation]

Dove and a viper

our secret symbol

Dove and a viper

tattooed as a sign of love

on both our shoulders

And you're bossing around again

when you're hustling in the kitchen

and working like crazy

when the pea soup boiled over on the stove again

And everything you dream of

is everything you never got

This kind of man won't satisfy your needs,

a familiar shoulder and a warm blanket

Dove and a viper...

And you get bored again

or fed up to death

when all you have are crossword magazines

and The Bold and the Beautiful, and a book club

If you claim you can't get a dog

or a little kitten

then let's have that baby

and then buy it Moomin curtains on the window

Dove and a viper...
