Takametsien Tarzan
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Takametsien Tarzaniksi häntä kutsuttiin
Erakkoluontoinen mies kertakaikkiaan
Häntä tuskin koskaan kylillä nähtiin
Jos nähtiin, niin heti tätä karkuun lähdettiin

Pelottava ilmestys hän oli, se myönnettiin
Risupartainen mies tuohiversuissa

Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Susirajan takaa

No joskus sitten mettästä vanhoja lehtiä löydettiin
Siitä innosta puhkuen museoon arkistoitiin
Palaksi katoavaa kansanperinnettä sanottiin
Sillä sellaiseksi vanha Jallukin luetaan

Kun sitä vuosia mettässä selataan
Näin kylälle vanhus tuotti runsaasti PR:ää

Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa

Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa

Takametsien Tarzan
Mies susirajan takaa
Takametsien Tarzan

Mies susirajan takaa
Susirajan takaa

Line by Line Meaning

Takametsien Tarzaniksi häntä kutsuttiin
He was called Takametsien Tarzan

Erakkoluontoinen mies kertakaikkiaan
He was simply a solitary man

Häntä tuskin koskaan kylillä nähtiin
He was hardly ever seen in the village

Jos nähtiin, niin heti tätä karkuun lähdettiin
If he was seen, people immediately ran away from him

Pelottava ilmestys hän oli, se myönnettiin
It was acknowledged that he was a frightening sight

Risupartainen mies tuohiversuissa
A man with a scruffy beard and bark clothes

No joskus sitten mettästä vanhoja lehtiä löydettiin
Old leaves were discovered in the forest one day

Siitä innosta puhkuen museoon arkistoitiin
They were excitedly archived in a museum

Palaksi katoavaa kansanperinnettä sanottiin
It was called a piece of disappearing folklore

Sillä sellaiseksi vanha Jallukin luetaan
Since Jallu is also considered as such

Kun sitä vuosia mettässä selataan
When it's browsed for years in the forest
