Linjuripolkka [English translation]

Motorbus is the ace of the highway

If you're heading to some place

Wave your arm as the bus approaches

It will give you a ride

Love will leave you and fancy will fail you

Motorbus won't reject anyone

It will take in everyone and devour all

You can stay by the door if you like

The mood is high on the bus too

Your trip will run smoothly on the bus

Motorbus is the ace of the highway

That's what I'm singing about in this tune

You get to see all shapes and sizes

There are both ladies and gentlemen

There are children and coots and hags

There are bundles, boxes and bags

You can find everything on the vehicle

And that's not even all of it

The mood is high on the bus too

Your trip will run smoothly on the bus

Motorbus is the ace of the highway

In all the hurly-burly and shaking

There is no end even to humor

Not even when it comes to the driver

Please step back fellows

There should be room for a woman or two

And a third one, and fourth and fifth,

A sixth one, goodness gracious

The mood is high on the bus too

Your trip will run smoothly on the bus

Motorbus is the ace of the highway

In its charming atmosphere

Travelling makes you young again

Even if you're a senior

The driver is smiling and turning the steering wheel

Grandma Mattila is feeling a little sick

Oi you, ticket collector Jussi,

Hand the grandma a bag

The mood is high on the bus too

Your trip will run smoothly on the bus

Motorbus is the ace of the highway

When you're hurrying to dance

Youth and love will fill up the bus

It looks so ??? then

The boys' lap is the place for the girls

Don't you squeeze me, Eemeli or else

People are singing a merry song

Everyone remembers it for sure

The mood is high on the bus too

Your trip will run smoothly on the bus
