Minä näin vedessä neidon [English translation]

I saw a maiden in the waters

At the lake, the mistress of water

I gazed with my intent look

Eyes of water-blue

I´m going to claim the maiden for myself

From the lake, the mistress of water

Wondered and twice caressed

The thoughts of my beloved

I swam to the tip of small island

From the bed of reeds to the shore reeds

I watched the lap of the waves

The armpit of pearly skirts

I swam behind the maiden

After the tail of the mistress

Maiden swam beside me

At the waters of the foggy bay

I saw a maiden in the waters

At the lake, the mistress of water

I gazed with my intent look

Eyes of water-blue

I´m going to claim the maiden for myself

From the lake, the mistress of water

Wondered and twice caressed

The thoughts of my beloved

Water glimmered from the rocks

Sky open widely

Beach caressed my tummy

I wondered my skin

Rose for a while from the water

Water played the sea shells

I didn´t see the girl in the water

Neither at the dock of the bay

I saw a maiden in the waters

At the lake, the mistress of water

I gazed with my intent look

Eyes of water-blue

I´m going to claim the maiden for myself

From the lake, the mistress of water

Wondered and twice caressed

The thoughts of my beloved

I saw a maiden in the waters

At the lake, the mistress of water

I gazed with my intent look

Eyes of water-blue

I´m going to claim the maiden for myself

From the lake, the mistress of water

Wondered and twice caressed

The thoughts of my beloved

I left the lake behind me

Backwaters of a swimming mind

Strong foamy wave crests transformed

As a mirror of the deepest maiden

As a mirror of the deepest maiden

As a mirror of the deepest maiden
