Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ripa, Repa ja Masi tykkäävät kaljasta.
Sillä ovathan he jo kolmentoista.
Kokonaisen kuuden kaljan voimalla.
Esitetään kaupungissa pikku-Ramboja.
Teeveestä opittuja rivouksia huudellaan.
Ja poliiseja tietysti pelätään.

Sillä mikä nuoruutta hionompaa olisi.

No silloin kaljakin helpommin kolisi.
Sillä mikä nuoruutta hionompaa olisi.
No silloin kaljakin helpommin kolisi.

Hei!

Yö alkaa jo kohta olla siinä pisteessä, että kotiin menoa suunnitella täytyy.
Korvikset taskuihin jemmataan, tukka jälleen jakaukseen kammataan.
Kiinni tietysti äitimuorille jäädään, sillä viinan haju ei Jenkillä katoa.

Sillä mikä nuoruutta hionompaa olisi.
No silloin kaljakin helpommin kolisi.
Sillä mikä nuoruutta hionompaa olisi.
No silloin kaljakin helpommin kolisi.

Sillä mikä nuoruutta hionompaa olisi.

No silloin kaljakin helpommin kolisi.
Kolisi.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klamydia's song "Nykyajan nuoriso" address the behavior of today's youth, particularly focusing on the use and abuse of alcohol. The song presents the characters of Ripa, Repa, and Masi, who are thirteen-year-olds and enjoy drinking beer. They drink six beers and pretend to be Rambo-like figures in the city, using vulgar language they've learned from TV and fearing the police. The song reflects the idea that drinking beer and behaving poorly is a part of youth culture because it provides a sense of excitement and rebellion against societal norms.

The lyrics also detail the characters' preparation for going home, including hiding jewelry in pockets and combing hair back into a typical hairstyle. The characters fear being caught by their mothers because of the smell of alcohol, representing the gap between the behavior of teenagers and the expectations of adults.
