Paleface - Helsinki – Shangri-La Лирицс транслатион то енглисх
Translation
Helsinki – Shangri-La
When creating a welfare state in Helsinki
Workers are brought from Tallinn to build the facade1
Horahoh-hah-hey, wherever we get the cheapest
Because that's how we'll make Helsinki into Shangri-La
We'll get rid of the bats2 and other parasites
In front of the parliament house warehouses are on fire3
Hallelujah-hey, the zero tolerance is screaming
As guard companies and FPS4 celebrate
The flag of regression waves over society
With security cameras an atmosphere of fear is created
Horahoh-hah-hey, the patronizing authorities
Jailing sticker gluers and house squatters
Why does everyone know Johanna 'agricultural subsidy' Tukiainen5
Like the homeless Romanian by the Three Smiths statue
Hallelujah-hey, to the bonfire of vanities
It's Seiskapäivä6, Idols and MTV
Teen girls have credit cards, huge amounts of loan
The late Veikko Hursti7 has long since been forgotten
Horahoh-hah-hey, throw it away and buy a new one
VISA, quickie loan, collection letter, payment disturbance
And every spring the homeless are defrosted
Walking around yet never making it to rehab
Hallelujah-hey, Finland's drug policies
Diazepam, Pervitin, Subutex, Sunday
Kurtze plus Puonti with Pynnönen and Piippo8
Why, that reminds me of Lahti, Hemohes and skiing9
Horahoh-hah-hey, the whiskey bottle of the informant
It's buy-and-bust, snitch and NBI10
Our country's immigration policy recoils on itself
If it's Timo Soini's11 traumas that get the people voting
Horahoh-hah-hey, right-wing populists
Halme11, Halla-aho11, Jörg Haider12, Ku Klux Klan
The ADHD institute's mental email got mixed up
When Pekka-Eric Auvinen13 bought his .22
Horahoh-hah-hey, here's to Holmlund's rifles14
Together with Matti from Kauhajoki they slaughtered twenty15
When creating a welfare state in Helsinki
Workers are brought from Tallinn to build the facade
Horahoh-hah-hey, wherever we get the cheapest
Because that's how we'll make Helsinki into Shangri-La
