Aimon virsi (Lapinlahden Linnut cover)

There were two of us, Aimo and me
We sat next to each other in school
The bus driver Onni was Aimo's dad
Onni pushed Aimo along

Aimo didn’t know much in school
But he rode his bike even backward
Things happened in class, this and that
Onni pushed Aimo along

The teacher would lead the hymn in the mornings
The sun shone on the harmonium
Aimo was wrapped in a cloud of joy
We watched him from the front row
And sang

Chorus:
Onni changes here
Heavenly Father protects
Aimo's hand moved and waved
This hymn won't get any heavier

There were two of us, Aimo and me
The big boys sat behind us
The bus driver Onni was Aimo's dad
I understood a lot only later

Aimo got a beautiful wife and a son
He moved from the desk to the driver's seat
He taught his son the same lean forward
This is how life gets exchanged

The teacher would lead the hymn in the mornings
The sun shone on the harmonium
Aimo was wrapped in a cloud of joy
We watched him from the front row
And sang

Chorus (2x)
