Laulu petetyille [English translation]

From Tanger to Helsinki,

During the whole trip we talked

Above France I fell in love.

Above the bay of Finland I kissed you.

We saw each other.

Whenever we could get off from work.

We made a perfect couple.

And I thought we'd marry.

How could I have known

How could I have had a hunch

That the world could come tumbling down

When you least expect

Everything ended all of a sudden

When I saw you at the mall

And some stupid four-eyed* guy

Embraced you from behind

Of course I started shouting

To make the guilty man sing

He said: "Can't a man touch his wife

oh yeah, and who the **** were you?"

How could I have known

How could I have had a hunch

That the world could come tumbling down

When you least expect

Couple of years passes by

without seeing you

I have found a good woman

And after a week we'll have a wedding

Already you were gone from my mind

Until today I saw you on the street

You were dragging a small boy behind you

And you called him by my name

How could I have known

How could I have had a hunch

That the world could come tumbling down

When you least expect
