Suojelkaa mua [English translation]

I go hide in the closet

The only sound is me breathing

You can never misbehave, when they're looking

And you can never start crying

Good children are those who believe

Everything, and don't demand more than they have

Protect me

Protect me

The elves of a faraway land

Protect me

Protect me

I stay behind the hill so they won't notice

I'm waiting till the shouting quiets down

You can never tattle or they will avenge

You can never tell if your clothes get ripped

Protect me

Protect me

The elves of faraway land

Protect me

Protect me

Under the blanket I'm quiet as a mouse

The spirits will get me if I move now

Good children are those who remember

Only the weak are afraid here

Protect me

Protect me

The elves of a faraway land

Protect me

Protect me
