Varpunen jouluaamuna [English translation]

The flowers in the valley have already been covered by snow

A lake wave (has been) frozen by the winter frost

A little swallow, (has) eaten the fruit of the past summer

A lake wave (has been) frozen by the winter frost

By the porch of a little cottage was a little girlie

Come, Swallow, with joy, take a seed from me

It's Christmas, My homeless Swallow (is) miserable

Come here with joy, take a seed from me

The little Swallow flew gleefully towards the girl

Gratefully I'll take a seed from you

God wants to bless you for once

Gratefully I'll take a seed from you

Know that I, my child, am not a bird from this world

I'm your little brother, I came down from heaven

The little seed you offered to the poor one

was received by your little brother from the land of angels

was received by your little brother from the land of angels
