Drömmen om Finland
Med tunga steg hem från festen
Smakar bajs i munnen, mådde som pesten
Satte mig på en sten vid stranden
Med en halvtom Lapin i vänstra handen
Tittade ut över Ålandshav
Jag ville hem jag ville ge mig av
Hem till tusen sjöars land
Jag sitter ensam på en strand och drömmer om
Finland
Från mitt hjärta började jag sjunga
En tango så havet gunga:
”Rakasta, kärsi ja unhoita, se se elämää on…”
jag saknar mammas morotslåda
och ännu mer min trimmade skoda
jag minns min farbror han var aggressiv
när vi satt i bastun drog han fram sin kniv
han började tälja på sin arm
jag tänker tillbaks och blir alldeles varm
jag korkade upp en present som min pappa sänt
det var en jättefin flaska finskt hembränt
vid flaskans slut kom mitt finska temperament
”Perkele, satana för lite procent”
plötsligt ser jag finlandsbåten
då brister allt då kommer gråten
sitter och bölar jag hör nån gorma
där står min vän alko Jorma
han sa ”vi söper virke pårta i sosken
sen går vi hem till mig, jag har massor av
kosken”
Jorma han förstår hur jag mår
Vi sitter i samma båt och vi sjunger vår låt:
”Rakasta, kärsi ja unhoita, se se elämää on…”CSPAComment

"Wife carrying" just doesn't have the primeval touch of kärringkånk.Originally posted by Oerdin

What's it in Finnish?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

akankanto.
As you see, I have put it in my hobbies ever since I registered
It's great, because Akka (who will be carried) is little.. derogative term these days. You just don't say a woman is akka today...
SO it's cool stuff

"Kärring" isn't exactly a friendly term either - my dictionary translates it as "old woman, hag".Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

I'd ... compare "Akka" to that same word as well.In da butt.

Interestingly enough the words ukko and akka are ancient names for the male and female overgods in the Finnish mythology. Their modern slightly derogative nuance maybe a result of an unconcious christian depreciation for the pagan past.
These are also probably one of the oldest words in the Finnish language, which makes the _old_ man, _old_ woman nuance even more appropriate.
I would like to see these words reclaiming the respect and stature they deserve.Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

Then I must mention the utterly bizarre etymology of "kärring" - it's originally a dimunitive of karl "freeman".Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Interestingly enough, in Oslo, "kjerring", pronounced pretty much like "kärring", is hardly ever used and means "old hag", while in Trondheim it simply means "wife".
