Tuntematon potilas [English translation]

Every night, my house is broken into

I'm sure it's the guys living upstairs

They even eat the pet food in my kitchen cabinet

And they leave Boston rollups1 in my ashtray

I have gotten tired of being afraid

That's why I sleep with a pistol under my pillow

I've gotten used to using it

It already served me on the front line

Stalin conquered Helsinki today

I informed the nurse about it

And of course I camouflaged myself under my bed

They brought me another pill again

I hid it between the mattress

This disease made me lose my mind even though I fought back

CHORUS

Please hear my wish, I want to leave

Isn't my time already up?

I've already seen this life

I got everything and even more

Please hear my wish, I want to leave

Isn't my time already up?

I'd like to die like a soldier

Best regards, The Unknown Patient

Last time I saw grandpa

He didn't recognize me anymore

His condition had deteriorated rapidly

He had lost himself back into the battle of Raate road2

Yesterday I got a call from the eldercare

Grandpa is no longer fighting wars

Even though I cry, I believe

That we'll meet again one day

When we carry your coffin

Through the churchyard

Now I understand the plea

That made me angry

CHORUS

Please hear my wish, I want to leave

Isn't my time already up?

I've already seen this life

I got everything and even more

Please hear my wish, I want to leave

Isn't my time already up?

I'd like to die like a soldier

Best regards, The Unknown Patient
