Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ylnurkkaan lasahti toi tiukka lmri.
Vihollisen huutosakin turpa tukitaan.
Hiljaisina poikina ne kykkii nurkassa.
(Chorus1):
Woo oo'o - me huudetaan.
Woo oo'o - kun sportti voittaa taas
Woo oo'o - ei auta itkukaan
Haastajien pyritys on lasten leikki.
Pian ne kirkuu ja rkyy ja anoo breikki.
Ne saa heitt vaikka voltin, me vht piitataan.
Niiden haaviin ltkt taotaan yh uudestaan.
(Chorus2):
Woo oo'o - me huudetaan.
Woo oo'o - kun sportti voittaa taas
Woo oo'o - ei auta pirukaan
Kun pisteet Vaasaan jlleen napataan
Hei!
Kun on imuriksi syntynyt niin imuriksi j.
Naapureiden veskarilta alas painuu p.
Jtk torjuu eteens ja pakit koheltaa.
No sehn sopii meille, me siit rangaistaan.

The lyrics of Klamydia's song Sportti voittaa! describe the euphoria and excitement of victory in sports. The first verse compares the opponent to a parking meter, suggesting that they are easy to beat. The second line describes a precise shot in the top corner of the net, indicating the skill and prowess of the team. The following lines mention silencing the opposing team's fans and the defeated players cowering in the corner. The chorus is a celebratory rally cry for the team, declaring that they shout when sport triumphs, and nothing can stop the joyous celebration when the team wins.
The second verse portrays the challengers as children, implying their inferiority to the team. The lyrics describe them yelling and begging for a break, while the team pays little attention to their antics. The team then punishes the challengers by scoring against them repeatedly. The repetitious chorus of the song cements the notion that victory is the ultimate goal and that nothing can stop the praise and excitement that follow. The final lines of the song indicate domination over the opponent, with the goalkeeper getting beat, and the defenders stumbling as the team goes on to punish them further.
