    • 1981, Gösta Sundqvist, Bruno Korpela (arranger) (lyrics and music), “Sinisilmä mansikkasuu”, performed by Leevi and the Leavings:
      En välitä mä muista jos et minusta sä huoli
      Ei mikään ole silloin enää kohdallaan
      On elämästä näkyvissä pelkkä nurja puoli
      Kun maailmalle askeleeni johtaa
      I won't care about others if you won't care for me
      Nothing would ever be right again
      Only the wrong side of my life would be seen
      As I head out to the wide world
