Woo-oo-ooah

Verse 1

I had nothing but a chance

A chance

Verse 1

The knowledge that I can achieve whatever I want

Woo-oo-ooah

Verse 1

With hard work, things just work out

Work out-ou-ou

Verse 1

We'll try, and get up again if we fall

Prechorus 1

The gloves won't drop

We won't give up

They say: you can't do it, you can't, it's not worth it

In my ears, it all sounds like a challenge

They'll eat their words when I get results again

Bridge 1

I'll keep pushing through no matter what

If it were easy, everyone would do it

I have a power that I can't suppress

I just always push at full throttle

I don't have to, I get to

Chorus 1

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

I turn setbacks into strength

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

Bring it on, I can take it

I won't give up

Verse 2

Worrying won't bring back yesterday

It won't, it won't

Verse 2

Tomorrow only comes if we make it through today

My worst opponent looks at me from the mirror

From the mirror me me me me

Verse 2

It always challenges, trying to turn my head

Bridge 2

Sought perspective for my thing

From Monaco's VIPs to the slums of Kenya

After all that, I'm just more positive

Attitude is key, I've seen it with my own eyes

Real joy, even when surrounded by nothing but bad

While others are so poor, they have nothing but money

I'll start with myself, fix my mind

I'll raise my gaze, the corners of my mouth

Chorus 2

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

I turn setbacks into strength

Woo-oo-oou-ah

Chorus 2

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

Bring it on, I can take it

I won't give up

Interlude

Woo-oo-oou-ah

Woo-oo-oou-aaaah

Woo-oo-oou

Chorus 3

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

I turn setbacks into strength

Woo-oo-oou-ah

Chorus 3

Gaze forward, corners of the mouth up

Bring it on, I can take it

I won't give up

vastoinkäymisistä — from adversities / from setbacks

Vastoinkäymisistä is a powerful and somewhat rare Finnish word that means 'from adversities' or 'from setbacks'. It's the elative plural form of vastoinkäyminen, a compound word meaning 'adversity' or 'misfortune'.

In the song, Elastinen sings, "Teen vastoinkäymisistä voimaa" (I turn adversities into strength). This word perfectly encapsulates the song's theme of resilience and overcoming challenges, making it highly engaging and memorable for a learner.

Get ready for a serious dose of motivation! "Eteen Ja Ylös," which means "Forward and Up," is a powerful anthem by Finnish artist Elastinen about the incredible strength of a positive mindset. The song is all about pushing through challenges, no matter what. Elastinen tells us that if things were easy, everyone would do them. He sees negativity and doubt from others not as a roadblock, but as a challenge to prove them wrong.

The core message is to turn setbacks into strength. Instead of worrying about yesterday, focus on today with a smile. The lyrics remind us that our biggest competitor is often the person in the mirror, and true wealth isn't about money, but about genuine joy and a strong attitude. So, get ready to look forward, smile, and never, ever give up!
