Vanha talvitie [English translation]

winter is coming again,

illuminates the lights of the sky,

wraps into its shroud and

burns the skin with its coldness;

smiles with wise winds

winter, which is more gentle

than summer could ever be;

winter sighs a story

that is now without storyteller

refrain:

and I go to sleep and I wish

that I will never again wake up

into an excruciating springday (2x)

shape slumbers again

in its soft clothes;

no need to wait,

to take a part, or to do one's bit.

if a spring flows quietly

in coldness, in brightness,

under the strange stars

singing about its miseries

refrain 2x

"I will come before the nightfall

I'll light a stove and

I'll lay around the floors,

sitting and staring at the winter roads"
