Lyhty [English translation]

A curled up cat

On a firewood box

A comforting warmth

Is coming from the stove

Water to the sauna,

I carry firewood to the corner

I let the longing sneak quietly

I lit a lantern when it gets dark

I lift it to a hook on the porch

Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark

And maybe it leads you to the path

I lit a lantern when it gets dark

I lift it to a hook on the porch

Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark

And maybe it leads you to the path

To home1

I press my face

To an old scarf

I close my eyes

When I recognize the scent

The work has been done

I stay up by the flame

Very soon everything will be in place

I lit a lantern when it gets dark

I lift it to a hook on the porch

Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark

And maybe it leads you to the path

I lit a lantern when it gets dark

I lift it to a hook on the porch

Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark

And maybe it leads you to the path

To home
