| MIKSI NE SALLIVAT | WHY DO THEY LET |
| Miksi ne sallivat lasten tulla tyköni | Why do they let the children come to me |
| niin outoina, | so strange, |
| kaasun puhkomin keuhkoin, | with their lungs ruptured by gases, |
| pommin repimin jäsenin? | with their limbs mutilated by bombs? |
| Miksi ne vetävät lapset peliinsä | Why do they drag children into their game |
| rahasta, kunniasta, vallasta, | for money, honor, power, |
| eihän se millään lailla | that actually has nothing to do |
| kuulu lapsen maailmaan? | with the world of a child? |
| Mikseivät isät ja äidit nouse | Why don't mothers and fathers rise against |
| petojen laumaa vastaan? | this horde of beasts? |
