Valssaaja konepajalla [English translation]

I worked, I worked, I worked

I took my energy charge to the workshop

That's how I earned my living, yeah, and the Rein got polluted

I filed, I wedged, I cut, I guessed,

I rivetted, I just waved it off

I drilled, I wrangled, I varnished, I lyed down,

I milled and filled my stomach with bread.

I got enough, I got enough, I got enough

When I coughed iron dust from my bronchus

I sold my health cheap for nothing, yeah, for no reason

I cut, I grinded, I tinned, I argued,

I processed and played cards with Köysti

I welded, I joked, I lathed,

I lazed, I made drink, and produced and ate badly

Then once the boss said,

go off and waltz,

you've got until April the third

And goddamn it, you son of a bitch,

if that's not enough I'll put you out of job

I got carried away, I got carried away, I got carried away

With the office lady I got sucked into the swirls of waltz

And we danced, with smiles on our faces, yeah, with rattling bones

I twisted, I turned, pirouetted and pivoted

and bended, and took her into ectasy

I laboured and fell and caressed and touched

I entertained, I accelerated her into ruin

But the boss gave me shit and pulled his hair

and fired cartridges into my dick

He swore and hexed and it didn't end well

For he put me out of job
