Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kari-koksi tyyrää, aurinkorasvaa käytän nej.
Puonon vahti paskaa tykkää, vino on kellunta.
Lasti pökitty väärään reunaan ja takila on perseestä.
Purjekkin retajaa. On mastona katajaa.
Kari laulaa lappooniaa ja pilssivettä litkuttaa.
refrain:
Mut se jämerän kuplan ottaan kasvattaa.
Kun sylinterissäkin tonttu asustaa.
Se jämerän kuplan ottaan kasvattaa.
Ihan tosissaan.
Kun sylinterissäkin tonttu asustaa.
Alpo sahaa, mötköttelee laiskana kannella.
Paadenpaaden hajos alta, ei tuntunut auvoisalta.
Niin hurjasti kuuppaansa sai pentuna.
Ettei enää jaksa erottaa heinää paalista.
refrain
The lyrics to Klamydia's song "Proomuloma" are filled with unique and somewhat nonsensical lines. The song seems to be about a group of friends on a boating trip, enjoying the sun and each other's company. The first verse talks about how one person, Eila-hiiri, doesn't like the sun and instead, another person named Kari-koksi is trying to get a tan and using sunscreen. The next line talks about how the boat's watchman likes to sit crooked and doesn't mind the smell of the boat's waste. The following line is about how the boat's load was wrongly placed, causing issues with the sail. The last line of the verse talks about how Kari, another person on the boat, is singing and drinking bilge water.
The refrain of the song talks about how fun and enjoyable the boating trip is, but also mentions that taking a big hit will cause a "jämerän kuplan," which roughly translates to a strong bubble. The line "kun sylinterissäkin tonttu asustaa" adds a bit of humor to the song as it means "even an elf lives in the cylinder." The second verse talks about Alpo, another person on the boat, who is lazy and sawing wood on the deck. He breaks a plank and reminisces about how he used to eat hay as a child.
Overall, the lyrics to "Proomuloma" are a humorous look into a group of friends on a boating trip. The song's nonsensical lines and playful tone make it a fun and lighthearted song to listen to.
