Finnish Labour Day Eve Celebration (30.04) aka ‘Mantan Lakitus’
Havis Amanda
The gorgeous lady
Rising from the sea
Naked as if bathing
Bearing everything
For the eyes to see
Tourists are watching
Cameras are clicking
A true beauty
Reflecting the city
Of Helsinki

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Dudes a-standing
Proud of being green
As in front of this white house I am seen
I try not lean
Because I am the dude a-standing
Trying hard not onto the ground a-landing
Group a-hanging

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Group a-hanging
We are the tough crowd
Hanging together green and proud
We usually sing very loud
Sometimes even scaring the cows
But sometimes we just meow
Especially, if the sky turns to a cloud

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Dudes a-standing
Up high on my pedestal
I really try not to fall
But if you throw me a ball
I will down myself haul
And shoot a great goal
Faster than you can it call

Finnish proverb
Ladies a-leaning
One lady a-leaning
Two ladies a-leaning
If I keep on going
This will turn into a song
Just bang the gong
And in a flash I will be gone…

Finnish proverb
Ladies a-leaning
Ladies of Helsinki
Keep telling me
To put on a crown
And go down town
Soon the ugly frown
Will even make a clown
Smile:
You are now officially on file

With this seagull on my head
My wicked ideas I will spread
But if you promise to bring me bread
Another type of story will be told instead

…And Ordinary Dwellings
A stylish display
Of this historic market hall
With wall to wall
Ye old shops
Where ever you stop
When done
Sit in the sun
In any of the cafes

Capital Buildings…
The old orthodox cathedral
May seem somewhat medieval
But also quite regal
Just ask the adoring people
