I was walking on the beach lost in my thoughts
When she stood in front of me
A wonderlously beautiful woman said:
"I'm your mermaid"
And she took me with her to the water*
I hoped Ahti wouldn't be home
"Hey, don't be afraid, Ahti isn't here", she said
"He's somewhere far away fishing"
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
My mermaid and me
She gave me some miracle elixir
And I was able to breath in the water
And she dove down and took my hand
I gasped for air in wonderment
You never get to see such a beautiful view on dry land
"Still, beware of the fishing hooks", she said
"They are pretty bad sometimes"
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
My mermaid and me
At the same time a commotion had started above the surface
Has a popular rock star drowned?
Only an old wrist watch was found on the beach
And clothes that had belonged to him
Karjalainen couldn't stay on the surface
I can already see the headline
He must've suffered Kristian's faith
To speed up his record sales, that is
His career is at its lowest point
Staged his death by drowning
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
