Kapasiteettiyksikkö ft. Hector - Tää on mun stadi (This Is My City)
Kapasiteettiyksikkö = Andu, Tasis and Uniikki, three MCs.
Hector is a rock singer, he's singing the choruses of this song.
"Stadi" is Helsinki slang for a town or a city, but no one actually refers by that to any other city besides Helsinki.
Vuosii sit jengi Maltsussa, ei pennii taskussa
Years ago people in Maltsu, not a dime in their pocket
Maltsu = Malminkartano, an area in Helsinki
Juostiin haneen, ku isot tytöt koitti pussaa
Ran away when bigger girls tried to kiss us
Yli siltaa, kehiin posse Kantsu akselilta
Over the bridge, joined by a posse from Kantsu coordinates
Kantsu = Kannelmäki
Räkikset waildaa, samaa settii joka ilta
Lads gettin wild, same thing every night
Seis! Pysähdyn muisteleen, must meille
Stop! I pause to reminisce, I think that for us
back in the days oli just eilen
Back in the days was just yesterday
Kesät fudist plus skedee, talvet oltiin luisteleen
Summers, football plus skateboardin, winters we'd be skatin
Olin sporttinen räkis, länsi-Stadin hustlereit
I was an athelic lad, a hustler from Western Helsinki
Kaivari 95 meno aina iisii
Kaivopuisto -95, it's always goin' easy
Kaivopuisto aka Kaivari is a park in Helsinki.
Kesäiltan lämmitti pari bissee ja fleece
A couple of beers and fleece kept me warm on a summer evening
Freezee, veikol b-boy shaittii
Freezin/Fresh (?), Veikko doin' b-boy shit
All nightii, grogis eka openmaikkii
All night, first open mic in grog (?)
Bommattiin sporii aiheutettiin pahennusta "tsori"
Paintin' the trams, causin' scorn "sry"
Testattiin oman käden alennusta "noniin"
Testin' a vigilante discount "right"
Bostattiin kellon-alla, sittarissa
Boastin'/Postin' under the clock, in Sittari
Sittari = Citymarket, a grocery/department store
+3589 ei pyygee dissaa
No point dissin' +3589
International phone area code for Finland is +358. Idk where they got the 9 from.
Tää on mun Stadi: snadi metropoli -
This is my city, a small metropolis
kolinaa sporien yössä kuuntelen...
I listen to the clonkin' of the trams in the night...
Tää on mun Stadi; vanha hippi rotsin alla
This is my city; old hippie under the jacket
dallailen halki torien...
Walkin through market squares...
Stadis aamut saa mut snadist fiilisteleen
In the city mornings make me vibe, lowkey
Hyppään jossain viimest ennen stogest
I jump off the train somewhere before the last
Hoppii skobest, oon ku himas
(Hip) hop from a closet, it's like I'm home
Huikkaa stobest, olo ku kuningas
Sippin from a pint, feelin like a king
Tunnin taas hengaan, en venaa mitään
I hang out another hour, waitin for nothin
Kelaan länteen, itään, takas. Koko Stadi on rakas!
I'm thinkin West, East, back. The entire city is dear!
Niin monii muistoi, niin monii mestoi
So many memories, so many places
Tääl on pyöritty siit ku oltiin penskoi
We've been all around here since we were kids
Mä lähden himast hakeen kiesii Kisiksen parkkikselt
I leave home to fetch my ride from the sports hall parking
Nään ekan biksin Runskil, sillon kelasin tarttiks sen
Seein the first flat on Runski, back then wondered if I needed it
Runski = Runeberginkatu = a street named "Runeberg's Lane"
jäädä vaan taa, mut matka jatkuu
To leave it behind, but the journey continues
Käyn tsekkaan mummuu, tääl tuli mont' yöt' ain bunkattuu
I go check on grandma, I slept over so many nights
kun vaihdoin maisemii, mut niin tuttu stoori
When switchin scenery, but such a familiar story
Eteenpäin motarille, mis ..... autooni
Forward to the highwat, where ..... my car
He makes a voice effect. I think he crashed his car
Mut en jaksa Volvoo pohtii. Jatkan Porvoot' kohti
But I'm tired of thinkin the Volve. I continue towards Porvoo
Porvoo is another town in Finland, close to Helsinki
Ja noniin, niin monille tuttuu siltaa kotiin
And so, takin the bridge home that's oh-so-familiar to many
Tää on mun stadi; snadin kundin lailla
This is my city; like a young dude
skönee diggailen... stebui stikkailen!
I dig the sea... stone skipping!
Tää on mun stadi; spugejengistäkin
This is my city, even from the group of drunkards
tsennaan jokaisen samanikäisen...
I know everyone that's my age...
Porvoos' taas, taas kotost'. Tää kaupunki toimii..
Back in Porvoo, feelin like home again. This town works..
Poimin broidit heittään perus munkkii
I pick bros up for the usual cruise
Gabikseen, sumppii. Kuluu oleskelus tunnit
Into Gabis, coffee. Spendin several hours
Sit taas munkkii... Kerkkoon rundi...
And then cruisin again.. a round in Kerkko
I assume Gabis and Kerkko are places in Porvoo, but Idk what they stand for
Sit kotiin isku... Siit ote lipsuu? "Noou!"
Then hittin home... Is my grip of it slippin? "Nooo!"
Puistoon istuun. Mont' muistoo muistuu
Gonna sit in a park. Rememberin many memories
Hyviä? "a-ha" Sit taas sillan yli mä kaahaan
Good? "A-ha" Then I speed over the bridge again
Himaan taas Marjiksest, Töölön syliin mä palaan
Back home from Marjis, returning to Töölö's lap
Marjis = Marjaniemi. Töölö, both areas in Helsinki
Unohtumattomii muistoi itä-Stadis hengaa
Unforgettable memories about hanging in East Helsinki
Leissi brennaa, ei hajuu mitä huomenna
A fart burnin, no idea what tomorrow
Lit. "No smell of what tomorrow", hence the fart double
Parhait kesii Vuokis ensirakkauden kaa
Best summers in Vuokki with my first love
Vuokki = Vuosaari, an area in Helsinki. Vuokis(sa) = in Vuokki.
Ei jengaa, kuosis levareit svengaa
No jenga, in shape to swing records
(?)
Hertsikas, Roihikassa "Wassaaph aza!"
In Hertsikka, Roihikka, "Whazzup Aza!"
Hertsikka = Herttoniemi, Roihikka = Roihuvuori, areas in Helsinki
Roihuvuori is the home area of Asa aka Avain, one of the most respected Finnish rappers of all time.
Mis tahansa mestassa ain ku himassa
At any place, like at home
Digaan Stadii, kantsii rileittaa sunki
I like the City, you should relate
Ei mikä tahansa spotti, vaan mun kotikaupunki
Not just any spot, but my home town
Tää on mun Stadi; radikaalin täällä
This is my City; I lived a radical
elin nuoruuden - täällä vanhenen.
youth here - here I'll grow old.
Tää on mun Stadi; Tavastian stagellakin
This is my City; even on the stage of Tavastia
Tavastia is a legendary rock club in Helsinki, and I think they're also where Finnish hiphop started to gain mainstream success, if I'm not mistaken
bongaan sen: Stadi-fiiliksen!
I see it: the City feeling!
Tää on mun Stadi: snadi metropoli -
This is my City: a small metropolis
kolinaa sporien yössä kuuntelen...
I listen to the clonkin' of the trams in the night...
Tää on mun Stadi; vanha hippi rotsin alla
This is my city; old hippie under the jacket
dallailen halki torien...
Walkin through market squares...
