Mopolla suohon
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mudassa jalkani oli nilkkaa myöten
Vieressä jätkät nauro tahtia lyöden
Apuvoimat tietysti kiiresti katosi
Kun meikäläinen suohon mahalleen latosi

Itteeki alkaa jo vähitellen naurattaa
Kun hirvi vetää pokkana viereeni papattaa
Itteeki alkaa jo vähitellen naurattaa

Kun hirvi vetää pokkana viereeni papattaa
Naurattaa vaikka mpoplla mettään vetäsin
Hyttyset inisi ja mä suossa lepäsin
Naurattaa vaikka mopolla mettään vetäsin
Hyttyset inisi ja mä suossa lepäsin
Kovin pitkän tovin mä mudassa makasin
Kauhiaa huutoa ilmoille latasin
Onneksi paikalle osu joku sieni porukka
Keulassa oli mummo hirveän tanakka

Häpeissäni mopedin tielle työnsin
Äkkiä kotia piiloon riensin
Häpeissäni mopedin tielle työnsin
Häpeissäni mopedin tielle työnsin
Äkkiä kotia piiloon riensin
Äkkiä kotia piiloon riensin
Naurattaa vaikka mpoplla mettään vetäsin
Hyttyset inisi ja mä suossa lepäsin
Naurattaa vaikka mopolla mettään vetäsin

Hyttyset inisi ja mä suossa lepäsin
Suossa lepäsin, suossa lepäsin, suossa lepäsin, suossa lepäsin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klamydia's song Mopolla suohon describe a situation where the singer gets stuck in a swamp with his moped, and his friends who were with him laugh and make fun of him instead of helping him. As the singer lies in the mud, he starts laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation and the fact that a deer comes up to him and starts talking to him. Despite being bitten by mosquitoes and lying in the swamp for a long time, the singer finds humor in the situation and eventually gets rescued by a group of mushroom pickers, including a strong old lady on the front of their vehicle. The singer then feels ashamed and hides at home, but still finds it funny that he ended up in the swamp with his moped.

The song is an example of Finnish punk rock and humoristic music, often referred to as "hullujuhla" (Mad Party) genre. The lyrics reflect the Finnish mentality of finding humor in difficult situations and not taking oneself too seriously. The song has gained cult status among Finnish youth and continues to be played at parties and student events.

Line by Line Meaning

Mudassa jalkani oli nilkkaa myöten
My feet were stuck ankle-deep in mud

Vieressä jätkät nauro tahtia lyöden
The guys next to me were laughing and keeping the beat

Apuvoimat tietysti kiiresti katosi
Help disappeared quickly as expected

Kun meikäläinen suohon mahalleen latosi
When I face-planted into the swamp

Itteeki alkaa jo vähitellen naurattaa
Even I started to laugh a little

Kun hirvi vetää pokkana viereeni papattaa
When this deer is confidently chatting next to me

Naurattaa vaikka mpoplla mettään vetäsin
It makes me laugh even though I crashed my moped in the woods

Hyttyset inisi ja mä suossa lepäsin
Mosquitos were buzzing and I was lounging in the swamp

Kovin pitkän tovin mä mudassa makasin
I was laying in the mud for a long time

Kauhiaa huutoa ilmoille latasin
I let out a terrible scream

Onneksi paikalle osu joku sieni porukka
Luckily, some group of mushroom hunters came along
