Leväluhta [English translation]

I float across the grey surface,

There they carried me;

In the arms of this shadestream,

Which they gave me to

And there I am light and call along others, so I don't alone

Fall under the water level: "walk side by side with me"

And if there are trees on these thicketlands, to them reaches

The hand that may rise above my breast

Light it is to sway lightly on that other side

Mild to float lightly on the Leväluhta swamp

Hard as a prisoner to control tomorrow's sorrows

Svelte to sway light as a feather

May all acquaintances come meet me,

Only few of them I recognize

Here the cradle rocks its child,

Waves the hand of the swayer

And there I am light and call along others so I don't alone

Fall under the water level: "walk side by side with me"

And if there are trees on these, to them reaches

The hand that may rise above my breast

Light it is to sway lightly on that other side

Mild to float lightly on the Leväluhta swamp

Hard as a prisoner to control tomorrow's sorrows

Svelte to sway light as a feather

Light it is to sway lightly on that other side

Mild to float lightly on the Leväluhta swamp

Hard as a prisoner to control tomorrow's sorrows

Svelte to sway light as a feather
