I am
My father's son and I can't be anything else
Grief
Drowns in the storm of a beer mug or with Koskenkorva1
Ride
Went to Europe, I stayed at the station
Humppa2
I want to announce it and fuck the world
When little Finland is being rolled around
In feathers and tar
A tame lion3
Is dragged in a leash
Its shits are collected nicely
In a bag in the park
The seven brothers4
Are shivering in the bushes
Mannerheim5
Rides to the sunset with his pants down
Finland's
Shares turned down steeply during the night
Panic
Strikes in the market
And Finland's shares are sold with low price
Drops
Of sweat are engraved on
Every statue of notable persons
When little Finland is being rolled around
In feathers and tar
A tame lion
Is dragged in a leash
Its shits are collected nicely in a bag in the park
The swamp, the hoe and Jussi6
Rot in a museum
Finland. Now.
What is wrong with this nation?
Finland. Now.
A fire to an empty ship in the cape!
