Bebete nyt mennään!
Maria Gasolina Lyrics

Bebete nyt mennään
Mä en enää jaksa millään
Bebete nyt mennään
Mä en enää jaksa millään

Aamukin koitti jo
Sä et tanssimista pysty lopettelee
Oot kunnon tyttö mä tiedän sen

Mut noi muut jo vähän ihmettelee

Sä olet mun nainen, ja mä olen sun mies
Mut itkemättä ei saa rintaa
Ja meidän lapset jo varmaan heräilee
Ja sä tiedät ihan hyvin
Mun täytyy töihin kohta lähtee
Mä en enää voi tulla myöhässä
Tai olla poissa kertaakaan
Uusi pomo ei tykkää musta kovin paljoo muutenkaan
Ja mun tarvii saada liksaa

Kuinkas muuten sulle hommaan
uudet kengät joilla tanssii jaksaa

Overall Meaning

The song "Bebete nyt mennään" by Maria Gasolina is a Finnish song about a couple who wants to go out dancing but are too tired to do so. The chorus "Bebete nyt mennään, mä en enää jaksa millään" translates to "Let's go now, I can't take it anymore". The song describes the fatigue and responsibilities of adulthood, such as the singer having to go to work and take care of their children.

The verses reflect the conflict between the girl's desire to keep dancing and be carefree and her responsibility to maintain her reputation as a "good girl" while keeping up with her responsibilities. The lyrics "Sä et tanssimista pysty lopettelee, oot kunnon tyttö mä tiedän sen, mut noi muut jo vähän ihmettelee" mean "You can't stop dancing, I know you're a good girl, but others are starting to wonder."

The song juxtaposes the idea of staying out all night dancing with the responsibilities of adult life, ultimately concluding that the singer needs to focus on their job and responsibilities rather than spending all night partying. It's a relatable sentiment for anyone who has ever wanted to let loose but couldn't due to the demands of adulthood.

Bebete nyt mennään
Let's go party now

Mä en enää jaksa millään
I can't handle it anymore

Aamukin koitti jo
Morning has come

Sä et tanssimista pysty lopettelee
You can't stop dancing

Oot kunnon tyttö mä tiedän sen
You're a good girl, I know that

Mut noi muut jo vähän ihmettelee
But the others are starting to wonder

Sä olet mun nainen, ja mä olen sun mies
You are my woman, and I am your man

Mut itkemättä ei saa rintaa
But I can't hold back my tears

Ja meidän lapset jo varmaan heräilee
And our children are probably waking up

Ja sä tiedät ihan hyvin
And you know very well

Mun täytyy töihin kohta lähtee
I have to go to work soon
