Puuta Heinää - Käärijä | English translation
Aah, everything is great
My finances are alright
I've got a new car, I've got a new watch
Everything is completely fine, or is it? Hahaha
I’m pissed off about those guys tooting their own horns*
Dude, don't come picking a fight
Don't come picking a fight
Dude, don't come picking a fight
You don't have any money on you, yet you're here drinking**
Dude, let me see you dunk
Let me see you dunk
Dude, let me see you dunk
This song is a forced rep
The Käärijä-EP is a must buy
A big boy came bragging and I flared up ***
My sleeves burnt up, now my shirt is ruined you punk (Yuck)
It's pointless to come boasting
The money is spent on stock exchanges ****
I don't have to be fit because I'm so fucking lit
Hey boy skip the Kismet^
It's a miracle if you see me spinning^^
I'm gaining weight slacking on a pleather sofa
I don't have the patience to ride an exercise bike
Because I don't want to pedal like a fool
I have enough money if you need a loan^^^
I can assure you my fishing permit is in order
It'll take less than an hour, even less than a minute
Before I'm sleeping on the tiled floor of the changing room yeah
I’m pissed off about those guys tooting their own horns
Dude, don't come picking a fight
Don't come picking a fight
Dude, don't come picking a fight
You don't have any money on you, yet you're here drinking
Dude, let me see you dunk
Let me see you dunk
Dude, let me see you dunk
The old men are babbling made up rubbish
Blablablah, blablablah, blablablah nonsense
The old men are babbling made up rubbish
Blablablah, blablablah, blablablah nonsense
Blablablah nonsense, you can babble like a phone subscription seller
There is a gang gang gang to fawn on^^^^
No need to munch on the cheapest convenience food (OK)
Thanks to your connections, someone else pays for your drinks yippee (Yippee)
How much are you ready to tip
To flex your loan (Loan)
You needn’t throw a fit
I don’t feel like fighting so come another time (See ya)
Oh, you’re not going to make way? (What)
Well, let’s go with that, let’s roll up our sleeves
At dusk you were already bragging at the door, dude
Then you entered the bar by skipping the line
At the end of the evening, I can't keep a poker face
By the taxi stand I observe you heading East by bus, damn~
I’m pissed off about those guys tooting their own horns
Dude, don't come picking a fight
Don't come picking a fight
Dude, don't come picking a fight
You don't have any money on you, yet you're here drinking
Dude, let me see you dunk
Let me see you dunk
Dude, let me see you dunk
The old men are babbling made up rubbish
Blablablah, blablablah, blablablah nonsense
The old men are babbling made up rubbish
Blablablah, blablablah, blablablah nonsense
I’m pissed off about those guys tooting their own horns
Dude, don't come picking a fight
Don't come picking a fight
Dude, don't come picking a fight
You don't have any money on you, yet you're here drinking
Dude, let me see you dunk
Dude, let me see you dunk
Dude, let me see you dunk

About me under the cut!
I'm Bison, but my usual username on other social media is Crevettola! (That'll teach me a lesson about making a username five seconds before going to bed lol). My first name would be Eléa !
I'm 31 years old, Canadian/Belgian/French citizen (yes)
I work in the animation industry :) I'm a 2D rigging artist (I make lil cartoon puppets that I don't neither draw myself nor animate myself lmao, I'm just in an organigram and hierarchy software all day)
Mini teeny tiny faq:
@i-wasnt-ready-for-this asked about my art journey:
Oh boy hahaha. So I'm a multicrafter kind of person. I embroider (cross stitch), sew, knit, crochet, and plenty other stuff. When I don't draw, I usually do one of those.
I've always made art since I was a little kid, I made comics, tried to join zines when I was a teen (that didn't work out but I still have the pages somewhere lol), and then my mom asked me to stop art to go into science. So I stopped drawing for 6 years, then fell into Undertale and started drawing fanart like there was no tomorrow and joined animation school for 3 years. (If you're curious you can watch my thesis film here, but be warned, all of it was done by myself so that's why the animation sucks ass lmao. I gave all my focus to rigging to land a job in this area of the industry. Which I did, thanks to this film!!!) That school burnt the living hell out of me and gave me hand injuries, so I can't draw trad anymore or even write more than two minutes without having to stop because of pain. So when I graduated in 2020, I stopped drawing almost completely. Then Käärijä happened and I'm back at it I guess??
Realistic art is my fav thing in the world, transcribing reality in 2D dimension is really my first passion in art. My dad introduced me to charcoal on paper at an early age, and I just never grew out of it I guess haha. People are my fav thing to draw. I find it so relaxing, I'm not a creative person whatsoever as in I don't like to INVENT stuff, so just transcribing shadows without thinking about it gives me peace of mind.
Two examples of the portraits I made before getting back into it this year
This drawing of my mom (graphite on paper) I made in 2009 (I was 18), and a drawing of my grandma (chinamarker on paper) while I was still attending school in 2019 (I was 28)
@c28hunter asked about first, my fav Käärijä outfit. And that's the WORST question can't I just say that I love all of them??????
But really I think the green bolero is just too much of my aesthetic to not reply with that hahaha. Second place would be that damn leather jacket it's BEAUTIFUL
Second question, my fav type of bread. And I a french person I take this answer extremely seriously. My ultimate favourite type of bread is
OLIVE FOUGASSE
Like I never buy any because I know that I'm gonna eat it all by myself in two minutes
