Miinan laulu [English translation]

Blue and red roses

Grew on the rock

A beau like that

A young girl should have

Oh if I could

Trample that rose

Oh if I could

Lure that pretty boy to me

My sweetheart played the accordeon

And I went to listen

Well he put the accordion on the dresser

And we started kissing

You were mad to pay a mark

When I only payed a kopek1.

You had him in the bed under a blanket

I had him on the floor

I'm a small girl

Like a violin string

When I walk down the road

The boys want me

Give me that pretty boy, bitch

And give him without a fight

For I'll take him anyway

And make him into a man

Love burns inside us

Like cotton in oil

In our spirit during the day

In our dreams at night

1. "Mark" and "kopek" are old monetary units.
