North Karelia
I wanted to meet Anneli
for I knew she was still searching for me
well, life didn't turn out that well
there was only a sausage stand at the end of the rainbow
people who threw up on a bar table got laughed at
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
I'm leaving for North Karelia
I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans
for my home region of North Karelia
I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise
Walking the side alleys of life
I hope I'll yet find happiness somewhere
It's not like I'm asking that much
just enough to offer rounds at the bar
To pay for alimony I could buy her a lottery ticket
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
I'm leaving for North Karelia
I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans
for my home region of North Karelia
I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise
Though I lost my path
I'm still holding on to the shards of my happiness
for if I treated you badly
I could've acted even worse
now I at least kept trying
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
Dam-dididam-dididam-dididamdamdamdam-dam
I'm leaving for North Karelia
I'll wear sweatpants instead of jeans
for my home region of North Karelia
I'll drink beer all night 'til the sunrise
My North Karelian girl...
