Paroles et traduction Juha Vainio - Meksikon kisat 1.

Meksikon kisat 1.

Hyvä olla on ihmisen tässä,
Kun taas unta päähän
Saa nyt vihdoinkin

Enää istuta ei kyttäämässä,
Kellä happi riittää
Muita kauemmin

Kuvaa katsellen koko kansa
Öitä vietti viikkotolkut niin
Jotkut huomaa sen kohdallansa
Päivähommat meni rokuliin

Ohi on, ohi on
Olympiakisat Meksikon

Happinaamariin hengitti siellä
Moni nimikuulu ukko alamaan
Mamo Wolde vain hiippaili tiellä
Eikä valitellut pikkuvaivojaan

Kenties Rummakkoon
Joku hetken luotti, mutta
Sitten selvis tää:
Kyllä vuoristoon hukkaretken
Teki lakeuden äijät nää

Ohi on, ohi on
Olympiakisat Meksikon

Nyrkit pystyssä
Kun musta valta
Seisoi kultamitaleita ootellen
Jalat toisilta pois oli alta
Moni Kuha oli kuha entinen

Tuli turpiin niin, että paukkui
Nenät valkeat on valkoisten
Joku helvettiin kisat khaukkui
Saapuessaan maaliin ryömien

Ohi on, ohi on
Olympiakisat Meksikon

Kangasniemi kun
Tuijotti rautaan
Piru porilainen
Kuultiin katsomoon
Meni tuokio vain jumalautaan
Sitten tanko taipui,
Taivas varjelkoon

Iski Nilssonkin mitalille
Mutta toiset sitä herkemmin
Istui iskuihin kanveesille
Matkaliput oli turistin

Ohi on, ohi on
Olympiakisat Meksikon

Hyvä olla on ihmisen tässä,
Kun taas unta päähän
Saa nyt vihdoinkin

Enää istuta ei kyttäämässä,
Kellä happi riittää
Muita kauemmin

Kuvaa katsellen koko kansa
Öitä vietti viikkotolkut niin
Jotkut huomaa sen kohdallansa
Päivähommat meni rokuliin

Ohi on, ohi on
Olympiakisat Meksikon

Mexico City Olympic Games 1.

My Darling, it is good to be a man here,
When sleep finally comes to our heads
So that we can get some rest

We will no longer sit up all night,
Watching for who
Can last the longest

Watching the images on the screen
The whole nation spent nights like these for weeks
Some noticed it on their own
That daytime jobs were starting to deteriorate

They are over, they are over
The Olympics in Mexico City

Over there, many famous men from the lowlands
Were breathing with oxygen masks
Only Mamo Wolde crept along the path
And did not complain about his minor ailments

Perhaps in Rummakko
For a moment someone trusted, but
Then this became clear:
Yes, these guys from the lowlands
Made a fool's journey to the mountains

They are over, they are over
The Olympics in Mexico City

Fists raised high
As black power
Stood waiting for the gold medals
Knocked others off their feet
Many a perch was now a dead perch

Their faces were beaten so badly they made a loud noise
The noses of the whites were white
Someone swore hell to the games
As he crawled to the finish line

They are over, they are over
The Olympics in Mexico City

When Kangasniemi
Was staring at the iron bar
Hell, you fool from Pori
Was heard from the stands
It only took a moment, my God
Then the bar bent,
Heaven preserve us

Nilsson also made it to the medal
But others more quickly
Sat down on the canvas after being hit
The tourist's travel tickets were

They are over, they are over
The Olympics in Mexico City

My Darling, it is good to be a man here,
When sleep finally comes to our heads
So that we can get some rest

We will no longer sit up all night,
Watching for who
Can last the longest

Watching the images on the screen
The whole nation spent nights like these for weeks
Some noticed it on their own
That daytime jobs were starting to deteriorate

They are over, they are over
The Olympics in Mexico City
