Pohjois-Karjala [English translation]

I wanted to meet Anneli

for I knew she was still searching for me

well, life didn't turn out that well

there was only a sausage stand at the end of the rainbow

people who threw up on a bar table got laughed at

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans

for my home region of North Karelia

I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise

Walking the side alleys of life

I hope I'll yet find happiness somewhere

It's not like I'm asking that much

just enough to offer rounds at the bar

To pay for alimony I could buy her a lottery ticket

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans

for my home region of North Karelia

I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise

Though I lost my path

I'm still holding on to the shards of my happiness

for if I treated you badly

I could've acted even worse

now I at least kept trying

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam

I'm leaving for North Karelia

I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans

for my home region of North Karelia

I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise

My North Karelian girl...
