Lyrics

Juhlat alkoi jämerästi, vallesmanni vakaa
Köyhä kansa ihmetellen kurkisteli takaa
Kun rikkaat nosti rintaa ja kohotteli hintaa
Ja Ryysyrantaa pakkohuutokaupattiin
Pankinjohtajalta loppui varmaan valta
Tai rahat, jäi hopealle kumminkin
Jatkui kilpa reilu, vasarakin heilu
Ja rahamiehet huutelivat rohkeemmin
Vielä päälle tonni, niin on pankin onni
Sai kassan kautta omiansa myöhemmin
Vallesmanni leikki niin kuin helppoheikki
Sai esiintyä yleisölle kerrankin
Juhlat alkoi jämerästi, vallesmanni vakaa
Köyhä kansa ihmetellen kurkisteli takaa
Kun rikkaat nosti rintaa ja kohotteli hintaa
Ja Ryysyrantaa pakkohuutokaupattiin
Petti monen kantti, taikka loppui lantti
No, kilpa jatkui entistäkin hurjemmin
Kyllä luisti juttu, kilpaa johti tuttu
No, oman kunnan poika: hyvä kumminkin
Loppu vihdoin koitti, paras kilvan voitti
Ja voittajalle tietenkin myös hurrattiin
Ryysyranta meni, niin ja viimeiseni
No, kerranhan se riipaisi. Taas naurettiin
Juhlat alkoi jämerästi, vallesmanni vakaa
Köyhä kansa ihmetellen kurkisteli takaa
Kun rikkaat nosti rintaa ja kohotteli hintaa
Ja Ryysyrantaa pakkohuutokaupattiin

Lyrics translation

The party started solidly, vallesmanni stable
The poor people, wondering, peeped from behind
When the rich raised the breast and raised the price
And The Ragged Beach was forcibly auctioned off
The bank manager must have run out of power.
Or the money, left in silver either way
The race was fair, the hammer was swinging.
And the money men cried out more boldly
One more ton, so's the bank's luck
Got his own through the till later
Vallesmanni played like an easy trick
Allowed to perform to the audience for once
The party started solidly, vallesmanni stable
The poor people, wondering, peeped from behind
When the rich raised the breast and raised the price
And The Ragged Beach was forcibly auctioned off
Betrayed many people, or ran out of a penny
Well, the race went on even fiercer.
Yes, the skating thing, the race was led by a familiar
Well, son of your own municipality: good either way
The end finally came, the best race won
And the winner, of course, was also cheered
The Ragged Beach went, and my last
Well, I mean, I mean, it hung over. Another laugh
The party started solidly, vallesmanni stable
The poor people, wondering, peeped from behind
When the rich raised the breast and raised the price
And The Ragged Beach was forcibly auctioned off
