Suomi. Nyt. [English translation]

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!
