Ei suomalaiset tanssi [English translation]

A Saturday in the summer now

I've gone to my summer house

I've already chopped the firewood

The radio is broken too

The lake is tranquil

But I'm restless, oh

Then I hear the noise

My old neighbor Jack

Came from the U.S. back

Now he's coming to take me

To dance with him

We'll wear stetsons

And boots of crocodile leather

And I wonder how it'll turn out

Because Finns don't dance

What cha-cha-cha

I can only do polka

Can't dance any sambada

I can do letkajenkka

Don't dance, what boogie-boo

I can only do waltz-mood

Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance

Finns don't dance

Finns don't dance

Jack brings me there

To the dance hall

The band is unloading the van

People are waiting for to be asked to dance

Men to one side

And women to the other

And that's how it all starts to roll

When the first chord plays

Jack looked at me

He shows with his hands

Hey look, they live here this way

I asked someone to dance

I heard the orchestra

Before this day I thought

Finns don't dance

What cha-cha-cha

I can only do polka

Can't dance any sambada

I can do letkajenkka

Don't dance

What boogie-boo

I can only do waltz

Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance

Finns don't dance,

Finns don't dance

Finns don't dance,

Finns don't dance

Finns don't dance

Just polka

I want to do

Cha-cha-cha too

Don't dance just jenkka

I want to do sambada too

Don't dance even with a Tango mood

I want to do boogie-boo-mood

And dance and dance and dance

Finns don't dance
