Rauhan laulu [English translation]

We are the first to get up

We go and listen to

the forest swaying

If you want to, I'll tell you about pheasants

They left long ago to escape from cold

You point at the opposite shore, you say

it must be Africa

and I your sister who came back from there

We run faster than I could believe

We have to find out

where pheasants have gone

We bring tears to many eyes

We run further than we thought

and can't find back

but we make it to the last ship

and remember those who stay

You draw the first line on the ground

I spell out the letters

Behind the house we lean on the stone foundation

We look up at the sky

hoping for thunder

After many years we return here

You have outgrown me

And we laught at everything

Don't you worry, be the way you are

Everything changes

but shine till the end

Don't you worry, be the way you are

Everything changes

but shine till the end

Be the way you are, be the way you are, be the way you are

We run faster than I could believe

We have to find out

where pheasants have gone

We bring tears to many eyes

We run further than we thought

and can't find back

but we make it to the last ship

and remember those who stay
