Sirpa
Sirpa and I moved to the country.
We couldn't afford staying in the city.
This place was a real bargain,
The village road was completely quiet.
We got a fresh start.
We renovated the bathroom walls,
We cleaned the black spots off the tiles.
Sirpa found an Ellos1 catalog,
That kept her happy for a week.
The leaves withered, it was fall.
Where can we save another penny?
Can a dachshund survive in the wild?
In October, when the nights get colder.
Here we grow what we eat,
We spend the bottle deposit cash on gambling.
Everything was lost, but Sirpa still loves me.
Sirpa and I went looking for a job,
At the employment agency, they laughed at us.
This village has been without job openings,
Since the time before Mauno Koivisto was president.
Even the last dream went up in smoke.
At nights, I sobbed on the porch.
I prayed alone in a Russian squat pose2.
Sirpa took a shower weekly,
It gave her a rash.
The spots on the wall turned out to be mold.
Where can we save another penny?
Can a Dachshund survive in the wild?
In October, when the nights get colder.
Here we grow what we eat,
We spend the bottle deposit cash on gambling.
Everything was lost, but Sirpa still loves me.
Timo and I grieved together,
The two of us watched the demolition of our cottage.
The Caterpillar3 levelled the cabin to the ground,
Our neighbor sold his Lada4 to us.
We got a fresh start.
We drove our Samara5 to Helsinki,
The smell of gas stuck to our clothes.
Someone yelled: "goddamn hobo",
I don't care, I'm happy
Because Timppa fell in love with me.
Now we don't have to do more saving,
Once our minds are sufficiently messed up.
Sure enough, the government takes care of its own.
We often eat at the homeless shelter,
If we have money, we gamble it away.
Everything was lost, but I still love you.
Yes, I love you...
Maybe I love you...
I guess I love you....
