Käärijä at Puoli seitsemän, 10.11.2025

Käärijä | Puoli seitsemän

Käärijä runttasi pari vuotta sitten melkoisen Euroviisu-mankelin läpi. Mutta vain yksien viisujen tähdenlento Käärijä ei ole. Missä mennään

Takavoltti lyrics + English translation

Needed to wait for the CD booklet for this one. As you may already know, Takavoltti is about the period during/after ESC when Käärijä got asked to do this and that, and he said yes to everything. Please check my notes at the bottom to make more sense of the lyrics!

-Emmä tiiä kolisee jos kolisee mut mun on pakko sit koittaa vetää tosi matalalla -No varokaa -Mä meen -Noni -Joo -No mennää alta pois -Mennää -Anna mennä -Oijoijoi, hyvä Kärtsä -Rap-artisti Käärijä ja takavoltti -Kärtsä Kärtsä -Voi vitsi -Melkee -Ei se, ei sille sattunu se vaa näyttelee

Tekevälle sattuu ain sattuu ku tekee Ku tekee ku kipee ni kipeetä tekee Oon yllytyshullu ain hulluksi yllyn Ja tää hullunmylly on kylmempi kylpy

Mua viedään maanantai tiistai keskiviikko Torstai perjantai ja Lauantai sunnuntai Saldona muutama ai vittu ja paikat Paskana painelen eteenpäi Like any other day Anyway, baby hey I'm okay okay okay

Hey hey hey Kärtsä heitä takavoltti Hey hey hey Kärtsä vedä caba tonni Hey hey hey Kärtsä hyppää kybäst pommil Ei vittu ei kai se nyt oikeesti hypänny Kyl se hyppäs

Mun elämä on silkkaa duudsonii Taas Jorvin kaut kotiin Vaikka silmä turpoo kii Mä nään vaan mahdollisuuksii Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ei kestä ikuisesti kipu tää Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Mut ai hitto mun olkapää

Tekevälle sattuu ain sattuu ku tekee Ku tekee ku kipee ni kipeetä tekee Täst roolista ryydyn mut hymy ei hyydy Oon syypää sun hymyy siks Rooliini tyydyn

Hey hey hey Kärtsä heitä takavoltti Hey hey hey Kärtsä vedä caba tonni Hey hey hey Kärtsä hyppää kybäst pommil Ei ei ei se oli läppä

Mun elämä on silkkaa duudsonii Taas Jorvin kaut kotiin Vaikka silmä turpoo kii Mä nään vaan mahdollisuuksii Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ei kestä ikuisesti kipu tää Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai

Bändi säestää tunnelmaa Kun tää Kärtsä moshpittiin sukeltaa Ja ihmettelen jos selviin sielt pois ilman mustelmaa Ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai Jaahas mitäs nextii?

Hey hey hey Kärtsä heitä takavoltti Hey hey hey Kärtsä vedä caba tonni Hey hey hey Kärtsä soita peruskomppi Hell yeah alright

Mun elämä on silkkaa duudsonii Taas Jorvin kaut kotiin Vaikka silmä turpoo kii Mä nään vaan mahdollisuuksii Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ei kestä ikuisesti kipu tää Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Mut ai hitto mun olkapää Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ei kestä ikuisesti kipu tää Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Mut ai hitto mun olkapää

-I don't know, if it hits then it hits but I have to try going very low still -So, watch out -I'm going -Yeah -Okay -Let's move aside -Yeah let's -Bring it on -Oijoijoi, go Kärtsä -Rap-artist Käärijä and the backflip -Kärtsä Kärtsä -Oh damn -Almost -Nope, he didn't get hurt, he's just acting

The one who works gets hurt It always happens and hurts when you work When you work in pain, it hurts I'm a daredevil, always building up to get crazy And this madhouse is a colder bath (1)

I'm dragged around Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sunday The outcome is a few "oh fuck" 's and With my body all fucked up, I keep going Like any other day Anyway, baby hey I'm okay okay okay

Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a backflip Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a caba-ton (2) Hey hey hey Kärtsä jump from the tenth Fuck, he didn't jump for real did he? Yeah, he did

My life is just like being in Jackass (3) Going back home via Jorvi again (4) Even though my eye swells shut I only see opportunities Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow This pain won't last forever Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow But ow dammit, my shoulder (5)

The one who works gets hurt It always happens and hurts when you work When you work in pain, it hurts This role is wearing me out But my smile won't fade I'm the reason for your smile that's why (6) I settle for this role

Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a backflip Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a caba-ton Hey hey hey Kärtsä jump from the tenth No no no, it was a joke

My life is just like being in Jackass Going back home via Jorvi again Even though my eye swells shut I only see opportunities Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow But this pain won't last forever Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

The band is setting up the mood When this Kärtsä dives into the moshpit And it's a miracle if I get out without bruises Ow ow ow ow ow Ow ow ow Ow ow ow ow ow So, what's next?

Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a backflip Hey hey hey Kärtsä do a caba-ton Hey hey hey Kärtsä play a drum beat Hell yeah alright

My life is just like being in Jackass Going back home via Jorvi again Even though my eye swells shut I only see opportunities Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow This pain won't last forever Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow But ow dammit, my shoulder Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow This pain won't last forever Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow But ow dammit, my shoulder

1) This verse is loosely translated from a wordplay based on Finnish proverbs. Colder bath: tougher than expected 2) a snowboard trick 3) references to Duudsonit - Finnish equivalent to Jackass TV show 4) Jorvi: a hospital in Espoo. This is the exact same line as in Fantastista lyrics, and I really like that connection! 5) references to old Finnish meme/youtube video 6) references to the song Cheek - Syypää Sun Hymyyn. K has often joked about Cheek in his banter, who was the most successful rapper in Finland before retiring 10 years ago

+ Apparently the backflip itself is a reference to Mikko Leppilampi's doings, but that is some deep lore

i was listening to takavoltti the other day and i’m not sure if this has been said before, but i find the use of the nickname “kärtsä” very intriguing. it suggests a deeper emotional connection for the speaker than using “käärijä”, but it’s still far from “jere”.

i wonder if this is to showcase that while the speaker (who is asking all these things of k) feels like they’re somehow entitled to because they’re asking out of something that is, to them at least, love and admiration instead of plain “i want this guy to do stuff because he’s a circus monkey and due to his fame he owes me”.

​what i mean is that just because you ask someone to do something out of love and admiration doesn’t mean you’re better than someone who asks out of pure need to be entertained, because although your motivations are different, you’re equally failing to see the real person behind the stage persona.

the speaker doesn’t understand that calling him “kärtsä” is hardly better than “käärijä” because it’s just as far from “jere”.

Reading about failed backflips and injuries related to them. Gonna thank/blame Käärijä if this turns into a fic. It might.

LISTENING TO TAKAVOLTTI ISN'T ENOUGH, I NEED TO FUCK THIS SONG.

I like how in Takavoltti there's someone saying "Kärtsä soita peruskomppi". Among all the requests to commit insane shit, there's at least one kind person urging him to do something nice that he can succesfully do without fucking himself up
