Lyrics and translation Polyteknikkojen Kuoro - Sik-Hymni

Sik-Hymni

Kun ma fuksina tänne taapersin
En tiennyt mitä sähkö on
Meni innosta pieni pääni sekaisin
Laulukirja oli tarpeeton
Mulla kavaletti, nabla ja kosini fii oli öisinkin mielessä
Hetken taistelin, itkin sitten ymmärsin
Tässä jotakin on pielessä
Sillä arvonimi "teekkari" sovi sulle ei
Jos vain Maxwell aikasi vei
Kylmää kaljaa juo ja nauti nuoruudesta
Sillä arvonimi "teekkari" sovi sulle ei
Jos vain Maxwell aikasi vei
Kylmää kaljaa juo ja nauti nuoruudesta

Sik-Hymni (Engineer's Hymn)

When I stumbled here as a freshman,
I didn't know what electricity was.
My mind was a mess with excitement,
The songbook was unnecessary.
My mind was filled with slide rules, Nablas and cosines, day and night.
For a moment, I struggled and cried, and then I understood,
Something is wrong here.
Because the title "engineer" doesn't suit you,
If only Maxwell takes your time.
Drink cold beer and enjoy your youth,
Because the title "engineer" doesn't suit you,
If only Maxwell takes your time.
Drink cold beer and enjoy your youth.
