Tuntematon potilas [English translation]

Every night my home is broken into

I'm sure they are the blokes upstairs

They eat also the dry food from the larder

And they leave Boston-fags into the ashtray

I'm fed up with being scared

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

I am used to using it

It served me already at the front

Stalin conquered Helsinki today

I informed it the nurse

And of course I hid under my bed

They brought me another pill again

I hid it between the mattress

This malady made me lose my senses even I fought back

CHORUS

Hear my wish, I want out (of here)

Couldn't my time be up already?

I've already seen this life

I got everything and even more

Hear my wish, I want out (of here)

Couldn't my time be up already?

I'd want to leave like a soldier

Sincerely: the unknown patient

The last time I saw grandpa

He didn't know me anymore

Condition had broken down

He had vanished back into Raatteentie*

I got a phone call from the nursing home yesterday

Grandpa has got out from wars

Even I cry I believe

That we will meet again

When we are carrying your casket

We walk through the churchyard

Now I understand the request

That made me angry

CHORUS

Hear my wish, I want out (of here)

Couldn't my time be up already?

I've already seen this life

I got everything and even more

Hear my wish, I want out (of here)

Couldn't my time be up already?

I'd want to leave like a soldier

Sincerely: the unknown patient
