Maahinen neito [English translation]

What did they know about me, so strangely they looked at me

When they did not take me, my suitors would not touch me

What did they know about me, so strangely they looked at me

When they did not harvest in the summer what they desired in the winter

What did they know about me, how strangely they touched me

When this maiden wasn't lifted over the plowman's threshold

What did they know about me, why did they see me so strangely

When they didn't bring me into the moonlight, the star they had wanted

Dark they called me, maligned me as an evildoer

Dark they called me, with darker words still

Go back to the underground, sail your boat to strange waters

Go back to the underground, and the darkness shall become light

What did they know about me, what strange things had they heard

When no one took me into their arms, when nobody wanted to kiss

What did they know about me, the village rumblings will likely tell

The harsh wind blows, contriving cruel stories

Dark they called me, maligned me as an evildoer

Dark they called me, with darker words still

Go back to the underground, sail your boat to strange waters

Go back to the underground, and the darkness shall become light

The changeling maiden, from her earth and soil

The changeling maiden may kiss her bridegroom

The changeling maiden, from her earth and soil

The changeling maiden may kiss her bridegroom
