Maasta maahan
Raappana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maasta maahan
Ja maassa maan tavalla
Saarelt saareen
Mä sukellan pinnan alla
Palatsilt palatsille
Mä pistän palatsit palasiks
Ja moni muukin tekis täysin samalla kaavalla
(2x)

Joo mä pakkaan pakkaukseen sen mitä minä tartten
Se on rytmi, mies, reppu ja maailma mua varten
Joo mä eteenpäin meen, taakse en ikinä
En mä yön takia ota pakkia
Joo mä täytän hakemuksen, jätän kohtia tyhjiä
Otan hammastahnaa joo, ja tietenkin pyyhkeitä
En oo varas, mut mä vaan pidän varani
En oo myöskään paras, mutten mä oo myöskään huonoimpii

Refrain

Refrain2:
Maasta maahan ja maassa maan tavalla
Saarelt saareen, mä sukellan pinnan alla
Palatsilt palatsille mä pistän palatsit palasiks

Otan elämän seikkailun, en kilpailun
Ulkomaalaisiin naisiin tutustun, kulkuneuvois istun
Katson korkeeta keltaista kuuta
Jos se tietää, et mä olen täällä, no ilman muuta
Kahenkymmenentuhannen euron budjetti
Mut silti sanoo että vaan "tinki tinki"
Kauppiaan kädet ne on rikki ne on poikki
Ei voi ymmärtää, ei

Refrain

Refrain2

Lahdesta Helsinkiin, Helsingistä Englantiin
Englannista mä lennän köyhän miehen helvettiin
Rikkaan miehen paratiisiin, systeemin pyörteisiin
Jopa rauhan miestä viedään siellä oranssiin
Joo ei ne ajat ole ohi, me vaan oletetaan niin
Niinkun alaspäin istuu penkkiin mustaan kiillottaan kenkii
Mä näen kun systeemi luo väkivaltaisuuksii
Ei voi ymmärtää, ei

Chorus x2:
From country to country
Behave as the locals do
Island to island, I dive underneath the surface
Pieces of a palace with which I break apart palaces
And many others would do as I do

Yes I'm packing what it is I need
It's a rhythm, a man, a backpack and a world for me
Yeah I go forward, never backwards
I'm not stepping back simply because of the night
I'm filling the application, leaving spots empty
I'll grab the toothpaste, yeah and of course towels
I'm not a thief, I simply look out for myself
I'm not the best, though also not one of the worse ones

Chorus x2:
From country to country
Behave as the locals do
Island to island, I dive underneath the surface
Pieces of a palace with which I break apart palaces
And many others would do as I do

I take life as an adventure, not a competition
Meet up with foreign women, move along in vehicles
I gaze upon the high yellow moon
Whether it knows that I'm here, well of course
A budget of twenty thousand euros
Still they say "haggle haggle"
The hands of a salesman are broken if they've snapped
Can't understand, no

Chorus x2:
From country to country
Behave as the locals do
Island to island, I dive underneath the surface
Pieces of a palace with which I break apart palaces
And many others would do as I do

From Lahti to Helsinki, Helsinki to England
From England I fly to poor man's hell
Rich man's paradise, the swirls of the system
Even a man of peace there is taken to the orange (jumpsuit)
Yeah those times aren't over, we just assume so
Like sitting down on a black bench for a shoe shine
I see when the system brings forth violence
Can't understand, no
