Räsäinen Risti [English translation]

Can't drink

Can't smoke

Can't even celebrate midsummer

Soon no longer can beer be bought from the kiosk

Or hang around in the saloon until 4 AM

No wonder that heads started to turn

And faith of the ordinary citizen falter

When always bans everything right away

and takes the responsibility from the individual

Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down

Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela1

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death2

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down

Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Not allowed to do gay stuff

Not even as a joke

Can't enjoy, no fucking shit

Soon no longer celebrating in pubs during happy hour

And no roaming around Red-light districts

No wonder that heads started to turn

And faith of the ordinary citizen falter

When always bans everything right away

and takes the responsibility from the individual

Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down

Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down

Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

Beat the ragged wooden cross to death

1. Underworld in Finnish mythology2. Can also mean 'Beat the ragged wooden cross away from Päivi'.
