There is alot of military slang in the song which are hard to understand, if anybody know them and wants to explain them feel free to do so in the comments.

Finnish:
1. Eldankajärven jää
On taakse jäänyttä elämää.
On siellä nyt fossit ja Sassit
Puomit ja passit juu.
Korsuissa kamina,
Siellä pelataan nakkia, raminaa,
On meillä Fritzit ja Maxit
Ja Petropamaxit, juu.
On täällä tallattu, on maata vallattu.
On täällä kuokittu, ja täitä noukittu.
On sota tuimaa,
Ei Juno päätä huimaa.
Pum, pum, pum, patteri paukkuu
Ja korohorot haukkuu, juu.
2. Läskiä lotinaa
Ja peurampa pyllyä ihanaa
On römpsässä käristetty, kiristetty,
Vattahan varistettu juu.
Ei hevosilla heiniä,
Vaan syövät ne tallissa seiniä,
On toisilla suolissa santaa
Eikä tule lantaa, juu.
On täällä nopsittu, on täällä tapsittu,
Laukaistu miinoja ja annosviinoja.
On eukkoa ikävä, kun syö sitä
Vitamiinipilleriä,
Mutta se kotiloma tyssää,
Kun paperit ryskää, juu.
3. Kis-Kis-kukkulat,
On siellä munat sekä makkarat,
Mutta se Muna kun se meni,
Niin se Makkara jäi vain, juu.
Röhössä on Tiltun tie,
Se kurasena murasena Uhtualle vie,
On täällä Bieloje-, Tshirni-
Ja Tschorneje-ozerot, juu.
Varjossa honkien on lottakanttiini,
Sumppia keittävi,
Siell' lotta Lunkreeni.
Voi pojat saamari,
Nyt tuokaa naamarini,
On tänne riukuja prykätty,
On liukuja lykätty, juu.
English:
1. Ice on Lake Eldanka
Is life left well behind
Now there are Fosse to lead us and ambulances
Barriers and watchmen, right
In dugouts iron stoves
There plays like nakki and ramina are played
We got Frizes and Maxes
And Petropamax-lights, right
We have been stamping ground,have been conquering land
We have been hoeing here, and picking up lice
War is tough
Juno-tobacco does not make head dizzy
Pum, Pum artillery goes
And grenades yell, right
2. Fat make squelching noise
And the wonderful ass of wild reindeer
Has been fired and fried in the pot
Stuffed in the stomach, right
No hay for the horses
But they eat walls of stables
Some have sand in their intestines
And no manure comes out, right.
We have been stumbling here, we have been bumbling here
Launched mines and wines
Missed lady at home, as we have eaten
Vitamin pills
But that holiday at home will be cancelled
As paperwork fail, right.
3. Kis- Kis hills
There are eggs and sausages
But lost the Egg as it went
So only Sausage was left, right
In Röhö there is a road of radiopropagandist Tiltu
It is muddy and dirty leading to Uhtua
We have Bieloje, Tshirini
And Tschorneje ozeros, right
In the shadows of pines we have a canteen of lottas services
Making coffee
Does the female volunteer Lundgren
Oh hell, my boys
Now bring my mask
Here have been built poles
And pushed slides, right

The song is about how useless German allies are in the woods despite their good equipment.
I think this song is actually impossible to properly translate, since even native Finns dont understand a lot of this, if they dont know army slang and Continuation War slang.

There are two kinds of Finnish Winter/Continuation war:
Extremely patriotic songs poking at Soviets, like Njet Molotoff and Uralin
And mildly depressing songs that acknowledge the defeat, like Sakkijarven Polkka and this one
Säkkijärven polkka had nothing to do with the war. It was a prewar song, first recorded in 1928.
@@MrFinnishFury well, the version I know mourns the loss of Karelia...
@@MrFinnishFury The lyrics didnt come out at 1928 tho.
@@MrFinnishFury Really? But the lyrics of "Säkkijärven Polkka" has those words: ''Säkkijärvi se meiltä on pois, mutta jäi toki sentään Polkka!"/"We may have lost Säkkijärvi but we still have the Polka!"... Why?
@n1uk
That would make sense, I recall many Polish songs that evolved that way. Or they were first patriotic songs then folk songs
When they sing ''On täällä koukittu'' it probably refers to flanking ie going around the enemy, at least that was always my understanding.
Can mean also picking something up or take something, also digging ground and so on. I can see how our language can be literal hell for foreigners =D
Koukata = kiertää = to go round
Koukittu = there have been action of going round.😁

I like the song, much army spirit in it. I haven't been to real war, but I remember in the army service we used to sing such songs - slightly foolish, but keeping our moral after a hard day. Hats down to finnish men, who fought those wars!
Translated properly or not, I thoroughly enjoy history and this song because of the significance it all has.
My favourite part of the song is when it talks about sausages and eggs
They were army position nicknames for locations on the Kis-Kis Hills.
Yeah, funny enough. And the Kis-Kis Hills are named after "Kiss-Kiss", a candy label, too. I guess the fellas were oftentimes hungry...

In spite of the translation the music gets the message across. "War is he'll but let's make the best of it". One day it will be over.

In Eurovision the Finns are terrible, but when it comes to war songs. They are in a class of their own.
I love how this song is in format "what I see that I sing about" including passages of fat raindeers' asses and so on. That really makes us understand what was on mind of Finnish soldiers during this time and make it relatable
The deer asses was reference to shooting wildlife for food, when supply lines were cut by enemy action or just weather.

Nice music!,thanks!
Its not all that hard to figure out the slang parts of this song, especially if you are Finnish and have served in the armed forces as well. Some of the stranger words are also different foreign goods scarcely available at the time, etc, its not really all that overwhelming to look this stuff up. I was born in late-90s and yet i get most of the references and so on.
Pieniä ja suuria juttuja...
on täällä koukittu ei kuokittu ;) Suomalaisilla oli tapana koukata vihollisen selkäpuolelle, jonka tosin venäläisetkin oppivat sodan edetessä

Thanks for this, this is one of my favorites.
Also where is the first pic/Thumbnail from, the guy in the middle looks a lot like my great grandpa who served in both wars.
Lol I thought the exact same thing, he looks a lot like my grandpa too when comparing pictures, but looks a little older than what he would have been at the time (turned 18 in 1939).

The real Finnish "Voi paska, tässä mennään taas" moment
"and the wonderful ass of wild reindeer"
excuse me, what?
Only real Finn's understand.
It's not reindeer either, it's just deer. The supply lines were bad in wintertime and so soldiers would shoot wildlife to have meat to eat, and in deers, the large muscles of the legs are the best. So "hind's behind" would likely have been a better wordplay for it. The translation in general is... bad.
@@joelceda3500 It could be reindeer as well since "peura" is the finnish name for wild reindeer. The White-tailed deer, more commonly referred to as "peura" in finnish speech was brought to Finland from the Americas in the 30s and 40s. However I would say given that the song is talking about eldankajärvi, which is located quite north, it is more likely that "peura" here refers to wild reindeer.
1:53 paperit ryskää hmm yes yes
The translation into English could have been better, but some parts are a bit difficult to translate tho :)

Ok the Finnish government must know that even there language is confusing if there own people don’t know some words
Probably all significant languages still in everyday use have lots of words that aren't necessarily well known by the large public. WW2 also lasted for several years, so that alone would have given birth to a few words out of necessity. If we think back to 100 years ago, most people would have still known a whole lot of words related to old agriculture, handicrafts, and such, which modern people would have never had any connection to. However, we all know hundreds of words related to new technology/science that would be alien to a person from 100 years ago.
But yes, the language is also confusing.
It's old Finnish
@@kasper4079no its more like dated finnish its not some other language the words are just dated for modern humans and hell some of the words are just military slang with some even being still used in the Army.
