Ei suomalaiset tanssi [English translation]

It's a summer Saturday

I've gone to my summer cottage

I've already chopped the firewood

The radio broke too

The lake is calm,

But I'm restless, ah

Then I hear his voice

The old neighbor Jack

Came back from the U.S.

Now he's coming to bring me

With him to the dance

We're wearing Stetsons

And crocodile leather boots

And I wonder, how this will turn out

Because Finns don't dance

What cha-cha-cha

I can only do polka

Can't dance no sambada

I can do letkajenkka

Don't dance, no boogie mood

I can only do waltz mood

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

Finns don't dance

Finns don't dance

Jack takes me

To the dance pavillion

The band is unloading the van

The gang is waiting to be asked for a dance

Men on one side

And women on the other

And that's how it all begins

When the first chord plays

Jack looked at me

He shows with his hands

Hey look, here we live it up

I got myself a dance partner

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 no sambada

I can do letkajenkka

Don't dance

No boogie mood

I can only do waltz mood

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 also want to do

Cha-cha-cha

Don't dance just jenkka

I also want to do sambada

Don't dance, even if in tango mood

I also want to do boogie mood

And dance and dance and dance

Finns don't dance
