Original lyrics
Baden-Baden
Yks päivä olin surullinen ja rahaton
Olin saanut potkut töistä, kun tää lama on
Mä päätä raavin, mistä käärin edes yhden setelin
En kyennyt ku itkemään, mutta siitä keksinkin
Mä pullotan mun kyyneleet ja myyn ne Saharaan
Missä niitä tarvitsee tuo kuiva karu maa
Mun ideasta kuuli itse presidenttikin
Tuumi, tässä ratkaisu ois vientiongelmiin
Tuotanto halpaa ois, on Suomi varsin masentunut maa
Ja Afrikan sijaan Euroopasta isommat rahat saa
Siis pullotetaan kyyneleet
Myydään ne Baden-Badeniin
Missä Suomen murheet pumpataan suihkulähteisiin
Joo, pullotetaan kyyneleet junaan Baden-Badeniin
Missä niissä kylpee turisti ja toinenkin
Niin kansa itki ja talous nousi pian jaloilleen
Ja ilo alkoi, muttei riitä pelkät onnenkyyneleet
Hallitus mietti pitkään miten tääkin kriisi ratkaistaan
Kunnes joku muisti miten alkoholivero poistetaan
Ja taas pullotetaan kyyneleet
Myydään ne Baden-Badeniin
Missä Suomen murheet pumpataan suihkulähteisiin
Joo, pullotetaan kyyneleet junalla Baden-Badeniin
Missä niissä kylpee turisti ja toinenkin
Translation
Baden-Baden
One day I was sad and broke
I had just been fired because of the economic depression
Scratched my head, I wondered where could I make just one buck
I couldn't help but to cry but then realized
I'll bottle up my tears and sell them to Sahara
That dry and bleak land must really need them
Even the president himself heard about my idea
He thought that this would be the answer to our exporting problems
The production wouldn't be too hard since Finland's such a depressed country
And instead of Africa, Europe is where we'd make the most money
So let's bottle up our tears
And sell them to Baden-Baden1
Where Finland's sorrows are pumped into fountains
Yeah, let's bottle up our tears to the train leaving to Baden-Baden1
Where tourists will bathe in them
So the people cried and our economy had never been better
And the joy began, but tears of happiness aren't enough
The government deliberated on how this crisis would be solved
Until someone remembered how to remove the alcohol tax
And again we'll bottle up our tears
And sell them to Baden-Baden1
Where Finland's sorrows are pumped into fountains
Yeah, let's bottle up our tears to the train leaving to Baden-Baden1
Where tourists will bathe in them
