Does anybody remember,
does anybody remember,
does anybody remember that bloody man
that time in Marjaniemi,1
that time in Marjaniemi?
There on the beach we were playing,
on the beach boats were sailing,2
when screams came3 from somewhere on the sea,
it is leaking,
it is leaking.
I saw a rowboat far away on the sea,
the rowboat came from the island towards the beach.
The ambulance was wailing
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi.
Does anybody remember,
does anybody remember,
or was it all just a dream
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi?
The boat came closer and then I saw,
along with other I stayed at the beach and looked,
that sight I will never forget
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi.
In the stern of the boat sprawled a naked man,
in the stern of the boat sat the bloody man,
and the boat was half-full of blood
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi.
The boat was pulled onto the beach
and they covered4 the man in a towels,
and the towels quickly turned5 red
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi.
I heard that people spoke about the island,
on that island people drank and fighted.
Does anybody remember that bloody man
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi?
Does anybody remember,
does anybody remember,
or was it all just a dream
that time in Marjaniemi,
that time in Marjaniemi?
