Nina Autio
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sä vaan katsot kameraa,
et mua huomaa ollenkaan,
vaikka kuinka koitan vilikuttaa.
Lasisilmälle hymyilet,
hymyilet ja keimailet,
koneelle parhaat puoles näyttelet.

Omaat sellaisen peffan ja pärstäkertoimen,

että sinusta silmiäni irta saa mä en.
Ei pärjää edes Marilyni tai Johanna Raunio,
kun esiin sipsuttaa,
peräpeiliään keikuttaa Nina Autio.
Autio, jee jee jee.
Nina Autio, Autio, jee jee jee.

Miss Skandinavia -kisoihin mä vauhdilla ravasin,
kun kuulin on siellä Ninakin.
Pari rohkasuotosta ennen sisällemenoa,
portsari diggas huonoa.
No saatana, tietenkään mä sisään päässyt en,
takkutukka, raukkapaska rähjäinen.
Paikalta mä poistuin hurjana rumia puhuen,
vika on poken sen parimetrisen.

Sinne jäi Nina Autio, Autio, jee jee jee.
Nina Autio, Autio, jee jee jee.

Autio, Nina, jee jee jee.
Nina Autio, Nina Autio, jee jee jee.

Overall Meaning

The song "Nina Autio" by Klamydia is a humorous ode to a woman named Nina Autio who captures the attention and desire of the singer. However, despite his attempts to get her attention by waving and smiling, she doesn't seem to notice him. Instead, she focuses on smiling and flirting with the camera, showing off her best sides for the machine. The singer describes Nina as having a perfect figure and an unbeatable level of attractiveness, even compared to famous beauty icons like Marilyn Monroe and Johanna Raunio. He then recounts a time when he tried to meet her at a Miss Skandinavia competition but was turned away by a rude bouncer. The singer leaves the place angrily, cursing the bouncer and blaming him for not allowing him to meet Nina.

Overall, "Nina Autio" is a satirical take on celebrity worship and beauty standards. The singer portrays himself as a hapless admirer who can't help but be drawn to Nina's allure, but also acknowledges that she may not be as interested in him. The song also pokes fun at the superficiality of pageant competitions and the arbitrary standards of beauty they uphold. Despite the humorous tone, the song touches on themes of unrequited love, social hierarchy, and the pressure to conform to certain ideals.

Line by Line Meaning

Sä vaan katsot kameraa,
You only look at the camera,

et mua huomaa ollenkaan,
don't notice me at all,

vaikka kuinka koitan vilikuttaa.
no matter how much I try to catch your attention.

Lasisilmälle hymyilet,
You smile at the camera,

hymyilet ja keimailet,
smiling and posing,

koneelle parhaat puoles näyttelet.
showing your best side to the machine.

Omaat sellaisen peffan ja pärstäkertoimen,
You have such a butt and face quotient,

että sinusta silmiäni irta saa mä en.
that my eyes can't look away from you.

Ei pärjää edes Marilyni tai Johanna Raunio,
Not even Marilyn or Johanna Raunio can keep up with you,

kun esiin sipsuttaa,
when you sashay out,

peräpeiliään keikuttaa Nina Autio.
wiggling your rear end, Nina Autio.
