Translation of lyrics:
Kesytä perkeleet - TAME THE DEVILS
promise me
that you are a good husband or wife
so promise me
that you won’t fall into despair
dry the swamps, slash and burn yourself a field
cut yourself some land from the forest
milk the cows, harvest the grain
rest on Sundays
breed a dozen children
breastfeed them all
and break them all with your love
labour, labour, labour till tomorrow
tame the devils
promise me
to be hard on yourself
promise that
even if you lose your mind
write your thesis, your circular argument
furnish everything in white
give your statement and smile
get yourself new porcelain teeth
eat the cleanest food
lift the weight of the world
on a Sunday, of course
labour, labour till the day after tomorrow
tame the devils
show them who’s the boss
tame the devils
show them who’s the boss
tame all those devils
