[edit]nurja (comparative nurjempi, superlative nurjin)
- wrong (side; designed to be worn or placed inward, such as in clothing)
- adverse, opposite
- (figuratively) bad, wrong, dark (e.g. 'dark side')
- 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
- I won't care about others if you won't care for me
