Jukka’s voice cannot be separated from his message. Musically he has stunned the Finnish music audience from his very first performances together with creative reggae musicians of Soul Captain Band and other friends. He embraces a combination of various reggae styles, dub, and folk rhythms, positively loaded roots reggae with minimal decorations being the central approach.
Jukka knows where the world is now and what is needed. Singing with devotion, sincerity and deep realization he has proved in the long term what he really is: a contemporary visionary and a sage. In his message there is all: cultural criticism, humour, feminism, spiritual truth, health advice, comfort for the mislead, prophecy and wisdom, plain everyday living and a joyful appreciation of the One Life behind this world.
Jukka lives the way he sings, and sings the way he lives.
Sotaisa rotu
Jukka Poika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maailma mikä meininki
Samako menoko jatkuu ku eilenki
Sama meno jatkuu
Kyllä, sillä
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Vaikka ruoka loppuu niin sota ei lopu
Bensa loppuu ni sota ei lopu
Ganja loppuu ni sota ei
Ei riitä konflikti ei riitä suukopu
Kun me tapellaan on tapettava joku
Ensin tulee verta, sitten vasta sopu
Ja jossei tuu sopua nii sota ei (lopu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa (rotu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Mikä niitä riivaa, miksei ne nuku
Verta ne janoaa, suussa sen maku
Vampyyrin yllä on kenraalin puku
Presidentin perseessä on pedon luku
Paholainen paimentaa - tuku tuku
Miinakentille pojat vie lepäämään, poteron pohjalle pelkäämään
Ei se pelkää puukottaa selkäänkään
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa (rotu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Vaikka ruoka loppuu niin sota ei lopu
Bensa loppuu ni sota ei lopu
Ganja loppuu ni sota ei
Ei riitä konflikti ei riitä suukopu
Kun me tapellaan on tapettava joku
Ensin tulee verta, sitten vasta sopu
Ja jossei tuu sopua nii sota ei (lopu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Isi isi isi kuoli kansalaissodassa
Isin isi kuoli talvisodassa
Suomi on keitetty monessa sopassa
Sotimisen pelko kai vaivaa jokasta
Rauhaa! Huutaa viaton vierestä
En haluu joutuu ampumaan ihmistä
Haukkaamaan palaa niiden verisestä pihvistä
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa (rotu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Vaikka ruoka loppuu niin sota ei lopu
Bensa loppuu ni sota ei lopu
Ganja loppuu ni sota ei
Ei riitä konflikti ei riitä surupuku
Kun me tapellaan on tapettava joku
Ensin tulee verta, sitten vasta sopu
Ja jossei tuu sopua nii sota ei (lopu)
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa rotu
Sotaisa rotu, tää on sotaisa
Maailma mikä meininki, maailma mikä meininki (sotaisa)
Jukka Poika's song Sotaisa rotu is a reflection on the nature of human conflict and its inherent relationship to our society. The lyrics describe a world where wars and battles continue unabated, as if the world is stuck in a cycle of violence that can never end. The repetition of the phrase "maailma mikä meininki" ("what a world we live in") emphasizes the bleakness of this worldview. The song touches on how wars affect every aspect of our lives, from basic necessities like food and fuel, to our personal relationships and our very sense of identity.
The title of the song translates to "warlike race," and the lyrics repeatedly reinforce this idea. The repetition of the phrase "tää on sotaisa rotu" ("this is a warlike race") drives this point home. Jukka Poika seems to be suggesting that war is an inherent part of our nature, that we are programmed to fight, and that we will continue to do so no matter what. He emphasizes this idea by describing how everything, from food to ganja, can run out, but war never does.
One interesting aspect of the song is the way Jukka Poika uses different examples to illustrate the destructive nature of conflict. He talks about the role of leaders, from generals to presidents, in perpetuating violence. He also refers to the experiences of his own family members, highlighting the impact that wars have on individuals and communities. By doing so, he encourages the listener to reflect on their own experiences with conflict, and how it has affected them and those around them.
Overall, Sotaisa rotu is a poignant commentary on the nature of human conflict, and its far-reaching impact on our lives. It discourages the glorification of war and encourages peace and unity.

Ei riitä konflikti ei riitä suukopu
The conflict isn't enough, the bickering isn't enough
Kun me tapellaan on tapettava joku
When we fight, someone has to be killed
Ensin tulee verta, sitten vasta sopu
First comes blood, then comes peace
Ja jossei tuu sopua nii sota ei (lopu)
And if no agreement is reached, then the war won't end
Mikä niitä riivaa, miksei ne nuku
What possesses them, why don't they sleep?
Verta ne janoaa, suussa sen maku
They crave blood, its taste in their mouths
Vampyyrin yllä on kenraalin puku
A vampire wears the uniform of a general
Presidentin perseessä on pedon luku
There's a beast in the president's ass
Paholainen paimentaa - tuku tuku
The Devil herds - tuku tuku
Miinakentille pojat vie lepäämään, poteron pohjalle pelkäämään
Boys are taken to minefields to rest, to fear in the bottom of a trench
Ei se pelkää puukottaa selkäänkään
They're not afraid to stab in the back either
Isi isi isi kuoli kansalaissodassa
Daddy daddy daddy died in the civil war
Isin isi kuoli talvisodassa
Granddaddy died in the winter war
Suomi on keitetty monessa sopassa
Finland has been cooked up in many a soup
Sotimisen pelko kai vaivaa jokasta
The fear of war must afflict everyone
Rauhaa! Huutaa viaton vierestä
Peace! Cries an innocent bystander
En haluu joutuu ampumaan ihmistä
I don't want to have to shoot a person
Haukkaamaan palaa niiden verisestä pihvistä
To take a bite from their bloody steak
