In English:
Once also I was invited to
Mrs. Dahlmann's famous party
it was a real party, indeed!
The night with no sorrows,
just because sorrows were angry
to everybody present.
There were drinks, all kinds,
and we played little cards, too.
No wonder that we all have
an incredibly terrible DAGENEFTER now -
Thanks to Mrs. Dahlmanns party.
All guests arranged a little surprise
to Mrs. Dahlmann.
And their children fell asleep to the
corners of rooms in the house.
Mrs. Dahlmann's dog
began to bark quests,
and she made drinks to them,
and she gave also to her dog
a little shot of liquor:
as a consequence
her dear Bobby-puppy was
in a mood, too -
say, little more tender-minded.
No wonder that we all have
an incredibly terrible DAGENEFTER now -
Thanks to Mrs. Dahlmanns party.
And the dinner table was so beautiful
with full glasses of wine.
And in the background
a gramophone played a waltz
and soon younger people began to dance.
I asked Mrs. Hill to dance with me,
while other guests took more drinks
and bites of herring from Norway.
No wonder that we all have
an incredibly terrible DAGENEFTER now -
Thanks to Mrs. Dahlmanns party.
It was almost daylight
when I began to celebrate, too.
We helped Mrs. Dalmnann to
stand up again from the floor,
and we decided together to buy
her a new lamp.
And then we took a couple of
hot dogs, and ice cream,
and little beer, too.
No wonder that we all have
an incredibly terrible DAGENEFTER now -
Thanks to Mrs. Dahlmanns party.

In Finnish:
Minä kutsun sain kerran kesteihin
Mrs. Dahlmanin nimipäiväpaarteihin
ei ilot siellä sinä yönä puuttuneet
sillä surut oli kaikille suuttuneet.
Siellä juomia oli monta sorttia,
pelattiinpa hieman myös korttia.
Eihän ihme ole ollu
jos kohmelo on tullu
tuolla Dahlmanin illallispaarteissa.
Paartivieraat ne Dahlmanin yllätti
lapset nurkkihin nukku että pyllähti
koira vieraita alkoi myös haukkua,
itse Dahlmanni tarjosi naukkuja
Pikku tuikun anto koiranki huulelle
tuli Bobbykin jo paremmalle tuulelle.
Eihän ihme ole ollut
jos kohmelo on tullu
sille Dahlmanin illallispaarteissa.
Juhlapöytä oli kauniiksi laitettu
ja viinit oli lasihin jo kaadettu
siellä gramofoni soitteli valssia
ja nuoremmat alkoi myös tanssia.
Minä tanssihin pyysin Mrs. Hilliä
toiset joivat ja söivät Norjan silliä.
Eihän ihme ole ollut
jos kohmelo on tullu
tuolla Dahlmanin illallispaarteissa.
Ja se aamuyö oli vasta reilua
koska minäkin jo aloin siellä heilua
Mrs. Dahlmanni ylös vielä nostettiin
ja se pöytälamppu lahjaks sille ostettiin
Hot Dogsit, Ice Cream syötiin viel'
ja Beerillä kostutettiin kiel'.
Eihän ihme ole ollut
jos kohmelo on tullu
tuolla Dahlmanin illallispaarteissa.
