Etuoikeus / Privilege
TFG (TONTTU)
January, 2019
[I just read, that one apparently should not kill the first bumblebee of the spring...]
Millähän oikeudella minulta yritetään viedä viimeisetkin iloni?
[And with what authority are they trying to take away one of my very last joys?]
Tai en oikeastaan ole moisesta ennen edes haaveillut, mutta nyt pistää miettimään,
[Well, in fact I have not even dreamt about such a deed, but now it makes me wonder,]
miksi minulta halutaan moinen oikeus riistää...
[why do they want to deprive me of that right...]
Varataanko moinen etuoikeus jollekin tietylle ihmisryhmälle?
[Is that priority reserved for a certain group of people?]
Etuoikeutetuille, joille tästä on muodostunut vuosisatainen perinne?
[For privileged people, for whom this has become a tradition throughout centuries?]
Ja jos näin on, miksi en ole yksi heistä?
[And if so, why am I not one of them?]
Ja mitäpä jos vain tartun tuumasta toimeen ja rikon tätä alentavaa käskyä?
[And what if I just go for it and break against this degrading commandment?]
Pääsisin varmasti osaksi eliittiä!
[Surely I would become part of the elite!]
Hion suunnitelmani täydelliseksi ja jään odottamaan talven loppumista...
[I refine my plan to perfection and wait for the winter to end...]
Happy listening!
Zig
