Merille lähtevä [English translation]

Goodbye darling, goodbye dear

I must now leave my homeland

I have to go now, to roam the seas

And you, i don't know, if i'll ever see

At the bay ship small waits for me

It's my homeland and fellow might be

It's homeland for me and the wind [is] my dear

And the wave [is] my sweetheart or death

Long before many men that sea betrayed

And many eyes of the dear ones [it] left with tears

But don't mourn for me, if i might die

You would lost you beautiful age in vain

When you hear that i'm dead, make a cross at the shore

And my bones brought by the waves, those bury in the sand

And take a small rose and make it grow

Go and visit it during the summer evenings

When the rose beautifully blossoms in summer

It will the picture of my love form before you

Goodbye once more, goodbye friend

It's doesn't help to mourn now, but have to go
