Chorus 1

The journey continues

West of Joensuu, north of Kuopio

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Verse 1

Endless bana, I'll never get to the end

The boy is far away from the heat, they say don't try to slow down already

Have you already finished your first pint, I guess I can't do it these years ago

Finland, dear, you can drive, you still have to do the wheelbarrow

I'm running away from the darkness, fines for speeding

Samal changes places, I suffer from speed blindness

Travel stories, empty depots

Morning vibes, lost is the boy of the stadium

Chorus 2

The journey continues

West of Joensuu, north of Kuopio

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Postchorus 1

The eternal May Day in the backseat continues

I want something fairy-tale

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Verse 2

Train, ship, plane, I'm waiting here at the stop

Always Bruna at night, I asked for directions

I can't see anything ahead, the road resembles an owl's eye

It's hot here, luckily we have a heater in Flinda

Shit smells like banjos are playing, someone is moaning in the toilet

The engine is warming up, here comes the new PMMP

Travel stories, empty depots

Morning vibes, lost is the boy of the stadium

Chorus 3

The journey continues

West of Joensuu, north of Kuopio

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Postchorus 2

The eternal May Day in the backseat continues

I want something fairy-tale

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Outro

The journey continues

West of Joensuu, north of Kuopio

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

The eternal May Day in the backseat continues

I want something fairy-tale

No more work, I'm pushing wood into the oven

I'm going deeper into the skutsin

Vappu — May Day

Vappu is the Finnish name for May Day, a major public holiday celebrated with carnival-like festivities, often marking the arrival of spring.

In the song, the phrase "Ikuinen Vappu" (Eternal May Day) is the title and a central theme, symbolizing a carefree, continuous party or celebration. It evokes a feeling of endless fun and freedom, making it a highly enticing and culturally significant word for anyone interested in Finnish life and language.

Get ready for the ultimate road trip! JVG's "Ikuinen Vappu" is an anthem for escaping the daily grind and hitting the open road. The title translates to "Eternal Vappu," and Vappu is Finland's biggest party of the year, similar to May Day. The song captures the feeling of a never-ending celebration, a wild journey through Finland to escape the dark winter blues, or kaamos.

Imagine leaving work behind, traveling from city to city, and going deeper into the Finnish forests (skutsi). The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this adventure: endless highways, speeding tickets, and wild stories from the road. It's all about living in the moment, because you can't get these years back. The song is a tribute to freedom, youth, and the desire for a life that feels like one long, epic party on wheels.
