Törkkivä Björkki
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mua alkoi yks nainen törkkiä
Joka muistutti tosi pahasti Björkkiä
Mä karkuun juoksin huutaen
En oo hetkeen hirveempää nähnyt, en
Samaan painajaiseen lisään sen
Vuoden -96 Roskilden
Kusilaariin, heräsin kun Björkkiä huudettiin
Törkkivä Björkki, Islannin örkki
Törkkivä Björkki, Ja perkele törkkiminen vörkki
Kauhuvisiot mua vainoaa
Se Samojedi mua jahtaa vaan
Jos se ois maailman ainut nainen mä oisin gay
Sitä mörköö naurismaastansa pois viitti ajaa ei
Törkkivä Björkki, Islannin örkki
Törkkivä Björkki, Ja saatana törkkiminen vörkki
The lyrics of Klamydia's song "Törkkivä Björkki" describe a nightmare in which the singer is chased and poked by a woman who resembles the Icelandic singer Björk. The singer runs away screaming, claiming that he has not seen anything worse in a while. He compares this experience to another nightmare he had, where he accidentally fell asleep in the wrong place at the Roskilde festival in 1996 and woke up to Björk's music being played.
The theme of the song is primarily centered around nightmares and the surrealistic scenario where the singer is being chased by a woman who looks like an Icelandic legendary singer. Klamydia embeds the idea of being afraid of someone's appearance and how it affects the singer as he runs away trying to escape. In addition to this, the song also alludes to the Roskilde festival and the year of 1996, possibly suggesting that the event has an impact on the singer's thoughts, adding a level of nostalgia to the song.

Mua alkoi yks nainen törkkiä
I was being poked by a woman
Joka muistutti tosi pahasti Björkkiä
Who strongly resembled Björk
Mä karkuun juoksin huutaen
I ran away screaming
En oo hetkeen hirveempää nähnyt, en
I haven't seen anything worse in a while
Samaan painajaiseen lisään sen
To that same nightmare I add
Vuoden -96 Roskilden
The 1996 Roskilde Festival
Mä väärään paikkaan sammuin niin
I passed out in the wrong place
Kusilaariin, heräsin kun Björkkiä huudettiin
In a porta-potty, woke up to someone yelling Björk's name
Törkkivä Björkki, Islannin örkki
Poking Björk, Iceland's monster
Törkkivä Björkki, Ja perkele törkkiminen vörkki
Poking Björk, and damn the poking thing
Kauhuvisiot mua vainoaa
Nightmares haunt me
Se Samojedi mua jahtaa vaan
Only the Samoyed dog chases me
Jos se ois maailman ainut nainen mä oisin gay
If it were the only woman in the world, I'd be gay
Sitä mörköö naurismaastansa pois viitti ajaa ei
It wouldn't drive that monster away from its turnip field
