Arndt Pekurinen
mies rauhallinen
uskoi tulevaisuuteen
ei tarttunut hän aseeseen
Jonkun homma täytyi kai aloittaa
vaikka hengellään hän siitä maksaa saa

Arndt Pekurinen
mies perheellinen
tahtoi työtä tehdä ja rakastaa
lapsiaan rauhassa kasvattaa
Oli valmis maataan palvelemaan
muttei ketään kaltaistaan tappamaan

Arndt Pekurinen
mies vaarallinen
Esimerkkinä muille ei olla saa
Siis on parempi hänet teloittaa
Kun et toista oo valmis tappamaan
Siitä syystä sut Arndt tullaan ampumaan.

Trans Am:

Arndt Pekurinen
Peaceful man
Believed in the future
Didn't grab a gun
I guess someone had to start this thing
Even though he'd have to pay it for his life

Arndt Pekurinen
A family man
Only wanted to work and love
To grow his children in peace
He was ready to serve his country
But not to kill anyone his kind

Arndt Pekurinen
Dangerous man
Must not allowed to be as an example to the others
So it's better to execute him
When you are not ready to kill anyone
Is why, Arndt, they are gonna shoot you

Good choise from me to letting her to sing it! -- Jore

This is great song, very moving. Wonderful lyrics and Tarja's gossamer vocals are perfect for it. Put it up on YouTube. --Davy
