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...
