Rantamökissä [English translation]

In the beach cottage she sits

That gray haired senior

She looks at the playing of the flames

And thoughts hurry away

The children have left her for the world

Left her alone in the eveningtide of life

Still spends her evening in thoughts

alongside memories

Her only faithful friend

is a flower by her window

She cherishes it, caressing

And shelters from the storms of the land

* Brings her solace, recalls a time

That vanished behind years and swells

Until the stars disappear from the sky

She slumbers into the morning

The children have left her for the world

Left her alone in the eveningtide of life

Still spends her evening in thoughts

alongside memories
