Translation of the song Tule tule tyttö artist Olavi Virta

Finnish

Tule tule tyttö

English translation

Come come girl

Ootteko kuullu kun meripojat laulaa

Have you heard how sailors sing

Saimaalla Savonmaan engelskaa

on the Lake Saimaa in Savonian English

Ainakin silloin kun tyttöjä kaulaa

At least when he is cuddling girls

Haastaa hän montakin mongelskaa

He is capable of producing many kinds of gibberish

Tule sinä tyttö, tule tule vaan,

Come come girl, just come here

Tule sinä Prinsessa Armaadaan

Come aboard on Princess Armada

Tervahöyryn laidalla sua lullataan

We will play with you on the boards of a steamboat

Ja sormesi se kihloilla kullataan

And we will gild your fingers with engagement rings

Mistä me meripojat laulettais

What should we, the sailors, sing about

Niin että illaksi heilin sais

So that we would get a girl for an evening

Selvä se seikka on ennestään,

Well that is already a clear thing

Että meripoika laulaapi lemmestään

That a sailor will sing about his loving

Tule sinä tyttö, tule sinä vaan,

Come come girl, just come here

Tule sinä Prinsessa Armaadaan

Come aboard on Princess Armada

Tervahöyryn laidalla sua lullataan

We will play with you on the boards of a steamboat

Ja sormesi se kihloilla kullataan

And we will gild your fingers with engagement rings

Tuolla on tyttö kuin enkeli

There is a girl like an angel

Ja nätti kuin Viipurin rinkeli

And she is pretty like a Vyborg bagel

Eipä se huoli mua kumminkaan,

But she won't take me anyway

Toinen siitä illaksi heilan saa

Another one will get her for an evening

Tule sinä tyttö, tule tule vaan,

Come come girl, just come here

Tule sinä Prinsessa Armaadaan

Come aboard on Princess Armada

Tervahöyryn laidalla sua lullataan

We will play with you on the boards of a steamboat

Ja sormesi se kihloilla kullataan

And we will gild your fingers with engagement rings
