Hello everyone! Could you help me to translate a song?

1. Not perfect at all, but ok’ish i’d say. Raw creation of chatGPT:

   A long time ago, the girls got water in their mouths But the advice my mother hammered into me was to my liking To avoid women, my son, They are a wild bunch

   Even though the girls surrounded me like hornets Since I have what always charms women I take care of that So that as an old bachelor, I’ll die

   Everyone wondered how strange it was But I said, “I have other things to fiddle with” Hug-fire-ta-la-ta-la-ta-la Even if she wiggles next to me

   Often, girls have tried to hook me But I haven’t fallen into the trap yet Even if the girl is like a tempting treat I have the courage of a man

   Silks and nylons don’t tempt me Blush, lipstick, and powder don’t either Because if you indulge in them at night The mind is gloomy in the morning

   This boy won’t put his fingers in anything too feminine There’s plenty to fiddle with on the accordion Hug-fire-ta-la-ta-la-ta-la Even if she wiggles next to me

   It reminded me of a couple of summer evenings When I went to see Widow Tilta But when things went in that direction I, the boy, put up resistance

   I said, “Don’t act crazy now” Even though sometimes we’ve been apart like loose ends You have to understand the game Otherwise, it won’t work out

   This boy won’t put his fingers in the rectory There’s plenty to fiddle with on the accordion Hug-fire-ta-la-ta-la-ta-la Even if she wiggles next to me

2. Worth noting that Esa Pakarinen was from Eastern Finland and performed with a heavy accent. I find the eastern and northern dialect the most welcoming and warm sounding.
