Verse 1:
Lights shining bright, it's maritime delight,
In Kotka, we gather, under stars at night.
Festival vibes, everybody feels the heat,
Raise your glass high, let’s dance to the beat!
Chorus:
Meripäivät, we live for the thrill,
Setti leviää, let the good times spill.
In the heart of the summer, the memories unfold,
With laughter and music, let the stories be told.
Verse 2 (Lahti Singer):
From Lahti I come, with joy in my soul,
The Maritime Festival, it makes me feel whole.
Kotka’s got charm, just like my own town,
Räikkä in hand, we’ll party, not frown.
Chorus:
Meripäivät, we live for the thrill,
Setti leviää, let the good times spill.
In the heart of the summer, the memories unfold,
With laughter and music, let the stories be told.
Bridge:
So raise up your drink, celebrate the night,
Juha Vainio’s tunes, everything feels right.
Two cities collide, our spirits align,
Kotka and Lahti, forever we shine.
Chorus:
Meripäivät, we live for the thrill,
Setti leviää, let the good times spill.
In the heart of the summer, the memories unfold,
With laughter and music, let the stories be told.
Outro:
So here’s to the nights, and the friends we hold tight,
In Kotka we revel, till the morning light.
Maritime magic, let the waves roll free,
In this joyful celebration, just you and me.
