Hengaillaan

"Hengaillaan" (English translation: "Let's Hang Around") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, performed in Finnish by Kirka.

The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following Turkey's "Beş Yıl Önce - On Yıl Sonra" with Halay and preceding Switzerland's Rainy Day with "Welche Farbe Hat Der Sonnenschein"). At the close of voting, it had received 46 points, placing 9th in a field of 19.

The song is one of the most biggest hits of Kirka. Though Kirka's career as a singer began in 1967, the LP-album called "Hengaillaan" was his first album which sold gold in Finland. The song is still very popular also in Finnish karaokebars and in "finnhits"-discos.

The song is sung as a suggestion to a fellow traveller that, instead of finding accommodation for the night, the pair "hang around the [train] station" until the morning - when their train leaves at 5:30AM. Ultimately, however, they miss that train as well.

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1985 Contest by Sonja Lumme with "Eläköön Elämä".
