Matti Nykänen - Mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu
Mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu
Ennen mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu
näin joskus elämässä lento, katkeaa
ennen mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu
kun liikaa etunojaan poika ratkeaa sukset meni ristiin
lento ranttaliksi
tuomariston pisteet
muuttui kuukausiksi on kakolakin mäki,vaan ei suuren suuri
ja hyppyriä korkeampi muuri
on kakolakin mäki,vaan ei suuren suuri
ja hyppyriä korkeampi muuri Oudot telemarkitMatti Nykänen - Mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu - http://motolyrics.com/matti-nykanen/makikotka-nyt-vain-hakkilintu-lyrics-english-translation.html
tein mä melkeen notkoon
liukkain suksin liu'uin
elämäni rotkoon Ja nouseminen sieltä,vaatii ponnistusta
käy elämäkin joskus urheilusta
x2 Kultamitalia, ei nyt ojennettu
ranteisiini rauta, lukoin varustettu
ja eise rauta kelpaa, kanikonttorissa
voi sillä rahastaa vain muistelmissa
ja eise rauta kelpaa, kanikonttorissa
voi sillä rahastaa vain muistelmissa
Matti Nykänen - Mäkikotka nyt vain häkkilintu (English translation)
'a skijumping eagle' is now only a caged bird (literally mäkikotka means a hill eagle, but it is usually when skijumping is discussed. we call extremely good ski jumpers like Janne Ahonen or Matti Nykänen(at least he used to be..) mäkikotka.)
before a good skijumper now only a caged beard
this is how the flight of life is sometimes broken
before a good skijumper now only a cagebird
when a boy leans too much towards the front (with his upper body)
skis got crossed
the flight went all wrong
the points of the jury
changed for months
kakola (obviously a name of a skijumping place)is a hill too, but not really big
and the wall is closer than the 'jumping bench' (im not sure if you know, this thing from which the skijumpers jump down from before flying in the air)

weird telemarks
i nearly did in the hollow (the plave where skijumpers land)
and with slippery skiis i slided
into the gorge(?) (anyway, his life started spiralling downwards)
and rising up from there, it requires effort (hard work)
life is sometimes like sports
a gold medal was not given now
iron on my wrists, with locks (his hands were put in handcuffs)
and that iron is not suitable in a bunny office (??)
you can only make money with it in your autobiography
