Lyrics
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-lal-lal-la-la-la
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la
Herrat Helsingin on hienoja sä varmaan tiedät sen
Ne on tohtoreita, maistereita melkein jokainen
Ja ne luoda lupaa tuulentupaa pelkkää sanoissaan
Hyvä kaupunkiin ei maalta ole mennä asumaan
Lyyli Leväperä tietää kyllä mitä merkitsee
Kun ne kumartaa ja käteen käy ja kysyy: «Käykö tee?»
Lyyli maalta tuli, miehet suli hänen edessään
Oli hauskaa jonkin aikaa, nyt on Lyyli yksinään
Muista vain tyttö-kulta
Maalla on puhdas multa
Jalat vie alta sulta viekkaat herrat Helsingin
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la
Oli soittoruokaloita koko tienoo tulvillaan
Siellä pelit soi ja italiankieli kaikui vaan
«Fantastico, tico», nikotteli Lyyli innoissaan
Joka ilta uuteen paikkaan hänet vietiin tanssimaan
Oli kaunotar hän juhlittu ja riitti juhlijaa
Joka toinen pyysi kättä, kaikki antoi aravaa
Kuut ja tähdet saat, jos lähdet. Paljon hyvää luvattiin
Monin sanoin Lyylin kauneutta syvää kuvattiin
Muista vain tyttö-kulta
Maalla on puhdas multa
Jalat vie alta sulta viekkaat herrat Helsingin
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la
Tuli muodin oikku, alkoi aika minihameiden
Lyyli mekkoaan myös saksi poikki, kovin häpeillen
Silloin nähtiin vika Leväperän sukupolvien:
Lyyli pattijalka on kuin osuuskaupan hevonen
Häipyi tohtorit ja maisterit ja hieno joukko muu
Kauniit lupaukset unohtuivat, käteen lyötiin luu
Ne on herran puheet herkässä, se sillä lailla on
Tuumi Lyyli polveen potkaistu ja on nyt onneton
Muista vain tyttö-kulta
Maalla on puhdas multa
Jalat vie alta sulta viekkaat herrat Helsingin
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-lal-lal-la-la-la
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la
Lyrics translation
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-lal-lal-la-la
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La
Lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la
Gentlemen of Helsinki are great you probably know it
They're doctorates, Masters, almost every one.
And they create a license to wind only in their words
A good city is not a country to go to live in
LYL lax knows what it means
When they bow and hand and say, " Do you do?»
LYL from the land came, the men melted before him
It was fun for a while, now it's LYL by herself
Just remember baby girl
The country has clean dirt
Get your feet out of the way to sulta the beguiling gentlemen of Helsinki
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La
Lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la
There were Call Centers all the way through the floods.
That's where the games played and the Italian language echoed.
"Fantastico, tico", nicoteli LYL excited
Every night she was taken to a new place to dance.
Was a beauty she celebrated and was enough of a celebrant
Every one asked for a hand, everything gave Arava
Moons and stars you'll get if you leave. A lot of good was promised
In many words, Lyll's beauty was described as deep
Just remember baby girl
The country has clean dirt
Get your feet out of the way to sulta the beguiling gentlemen of Helsinki
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La
Lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la
Became a fashion quirk, began a period of miniskirts
LYL her dress also Saxon cut, very ashamed
At the time we saw the fault of lax generations:
LYL pattijalka is like a co-op horse
Gone were the doctors and the Masters and a great bunch of others.
The beautiful promises were forgotten, the bone was struck in the hand.
Those are the words of the Lord in the sensitive, that is the way it is
Inch Lyli knee kicked and is now unhappy
Just remember baby girl
The country has clean dirt
Get your feet out of the way to sulta the beguiling gentlemen of Helsinki
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-Lal-la, lal-la-La
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-La, lal-lal-lal-la-la
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa
Lal-lal-la, lal-la-la-laa, lal-lal-la
