Текст и перевод песни Apulanta - Elli

Elli

Viikko sitten sain kirjeen tuolta kaukaa
Se tuli tuolta Kreikan maalta jostakin
Mun rakas vaimoni hän läksi Pepiton matkaan
Bansku-poika suoraan Espanjasta
Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan
Miks läksit, Elli, tumman miehen laivaan
Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan
Elli sua kaipaan niin
Jäisen puukon iski hän suoraan sydämeen
Kaikki unelmani heittää saan kai roskikseen
Pannahisen banskujätkä sä veit mun eukkoni jemmaan
Nyt tarttee tyytyä mun varmaan naapurimaamme Emmaan
Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan
En jaksa Elli enää kammata mä tukkaa
Mun päähän takoo tuhat märkää ohrapuurosukkaa
Mun posket lykkii heinää, mun aivot rappeutuu
Oi mikset, Elli-kulta luokseni sä tuu
Oi Elli, Elli, Elli sua kaipaan

Ellie

A week ago, I received a letter from afar
It came from somewhere in the land of Greece
My beloved wife, she left with Pepito
A handsome boy from Spain
Oh Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, I miss you
Why did you leave, Ellie, with a dark-skinned sailor?
Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, I miss you
Ellie, I miss you so much
He drove an icy knife straight through my heart
All my dreams, I guess I can throw them in the trash
You damn bastard, you took my wife away
Now I have to settle for Emma, my neighbor
Oh Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, I miss you
Ellie, I can't even comb my hair anymore
A thousand wet barley porridge socks are pounding in my head
My cheeks are growing hay, my brains are decaying
Oh why don't you come back to me, Ellie, my love?
Oh Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, I miss you
