Saatanan beibi
Tuomas Henrikin Jeesuksen Kristuksen Bändi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jos polvillasi rukoilet, niin ehkä anteeksi saat
Ehkä olen löysistynyt, ja huokaistaan
Uuuu, Saatanan Beibi
Uuuu, Saatanan Beibi
Viis-sataa-viis-miljoonaa vuotta
Jos polvillasi rukoilet, (jotta sinua luottaa)
Niin ehkä anteeksi saat
Ehkä olet onnistunut muuttumaan
Uuuu, Saatanan Beibi
Uuuu, Saatanan Beibi
Iloisia ajatuksia takavasemmalta;
Nuotion valossa paljaat rinnat keikkuu
Kosteaa heinää varpaissa
Hiustenleikkuu, viiniä suuhun
Eläimen silmät kiiluu
Suudellen kuuhun (tai vesistöön)
Ja mä tunnen taas jotain
The lyrics of Tuomas Henrikin Jeesuksen Kristuksen Bändi's song Saatanan Beibi seem to allude to the idea of redemption for even the most wicked and sinful beings. The repetition of "Viis-sataa-viis-miljoonaa vuotta" (five hundred and five million years) is almost a tongue-in-cheek reference to the amount of time it would take to atone for one's sins. The line "Jos polvillasi rukoilet, niin ehkä anteeksi saat" (If you pray on your knees, perhaps you will be forgiven) suggests that redemption is possible, albeit only for those who truly seek it out.
However, the song seems to also suggest that redemption cannot be bought or easily achieved. The line "Ehkä olen löysistynyt, ja huokaistaan" (Maybe I have loosened up and sighed) implies that the singer is not quite convinced of the possibility of forgiveness, and that it may be a difficult goal to achieve. The repeated refrain of "Uuuu, Saatanan Beibi" (Ooooh, Satan's baby) is perhaps a sarcastic commentary on the notion of redemption, or perhaps a darkly humorous nod to the singer's own sins.
The second half of the song takes on a more sensual and primal tone, with images of naked bodies, wine, and moonlit kisses. This juxtaposition of the spiritual and the physical seems to suggest that redemption is not just a matter of prayer and penance, but also of deeply felt human connection and indulgence. The final line "Ja mä tunnen taas jotain" (And I feel something again) suggests that perhaps through these experiences, the singer has found a new sense of purpose or meaning.
