"Sata salamaa" = 100 lightnings !
"Katujen lapset" = Frightened children !

"Katujen lapset" is "children of the streets", actually. And "Sata salamaa" is a great tune.

Does "piloutuu" mean "frightened" then? The whole lyric is "Katujen lapset piloutuu"... (or something like that)....

And yeah, it rocks....

"Piiloutuu" = hide, "lapset" = children, "katujen" = of the streets.

"Katujen lapset piiloutuu" = children of the streets hide.
