Translation of the song Elli artist Apulanta

Finnish

Elli

English translation

Elli

Viikko sitten sain kirjeen tuolta kaukaa

A week ago I got a letter from far away

Se tuli tuolta Kreikan maalta jostakin

It came from greek lands somewhere

Mun rakas vaimoni hän läksi Pepiton matkaan

My beloved wife left with Pepito

Bansku-poika suoraan Espanjasta

Banana-boy straight from Spain

Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you

Miks läksit, Elli, tumman miehen laivaan

Why did you leave, Elli, to dark mans ship

Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you

Elli sua kaipaan niin

Elli I miss you so much

Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you

Elli sua kaipaan niin

Elli I miss you so much

Jäisen puukon hän iski suoraan syädämeen

You stroke a frozen dagger straight to my hearth

Kaikki unelmani heittää saan kai roskikseen

I can throw all dreams to the garbage bin I guess

Pannahisen banskujätkä sä veit mun eukkoni jemmaan

Damn banana-boy took my wife away

Nyt tarttee tyytyy mun varmaan naapurimaamme Emmaan

I guess I have to settle for neighbour country's Emma

Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you

En jaksa Elli en kammata m tukkaa

I dont have the streight to comb my hair

Mun päähn takoo tuhat märkää ohrapuurosukkaa

Thousand barley porridge socks are pounding my head

Mun posket lykkii heinää, mun aivot rappeutuu

My cheeks are growing weeds, my brain are degerating

Oi mikset, Elli-kulta luokseni sä tuu

Oh why wont you, My dear Elli come to my side

Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
