Scenery, the area around, in Finland is pretty bland. Grey cubes next to each other, asphalt and grass. No mountains, architectural wonders, scared people.

It makes one tough, having no sun in the wintertime and coldness reaching -30 degrees. Staying inside getting bored is nothing new for the culture.

It can boost creativity, perhaps might be biased, but I do like many Finnish reggae songs. Many even have decent lyrics, which lacks in many other musical scenes.

I like translating stuff to keep the mind occupied, and since having close to zero musical talents, can show appreciation by adjusting the words to a language understood more, than 5 million people.

How does this sound for a person, who doesn't understand the language? Rappana used to live in the same city, so I understand, where the music comes from.

English lyrics

Oy
Today, you need to rise from depression today
The only cure for this state is the inner light
Things seen above rarely keeps us on our feet
Less meat and more vegetables

The pill given by the shrink helps nothing
When should be thrown out
Someone throws in
Should keep up the physical shape
They claim you get fit doing nothing
Less hate and more love
Because negativity breeds in the society
Goes in from nose and ears

It might be caused by the scenery
No time to swipe the leaves of Autumn
The majority just takes care of themselves
Letting the other gardens to die and keep theirs blooming
Perhaps the only choice is to change the scenery
Running away from the bad news
The majority just takes care oneself

Mr Big is pissed off about my attitude I hear
But their profits are are wider than before
At ease mr General, sick leave emperor Keep the break, even the pointer tics

Going by the clock, life ain't easy
Not easy for anyone
Always damaging the wings
The thing you leave behind
Usually catches up to you
Police in the role of a robber
The robber as a police
Too rough treatment is for the people beaten by the streets
We are infected by arrogance for the weak
In which pile shall we carry our hay
No violence no violence

Perhaps it was caused by the scenery
No time to swipe the leaves of Autumn the majority just takes care of themselves
Letting the other gardens to die and keep theirs blooming
Perhaps the only choice is to change the scenery
Running away from the bad news
The majority just takes care oneself
Letting the other gardens to die

And it requires character
To live pretty much without worries
Help yourself today
The other tomorrow
Being happy living on a gold vein
A small smile cannot make the room dirty
Rarely we do stuff for others
Without a reward
I don't want to waste more time
I want it to last

My time is sold for no-one
Negativity is a rope around the neck
So I see it
So I sing it
I wanna see crystal clear
Only love guides my currents
I don't wanna burn the dear bridge behind me
But a bad card is darkening my night

Perhaps it was caused by the scenery
No time to swipe the leaves of Autumn
The majority just takes care of themselves
Letting the other gardens to die and keep theirs blooming.
Perhaps the only choice is to change the scenery
Running away from the bad news
The majority just takes care oneself
Letting the other gardens to die and keep theirs their own blooming
