| Tuonen Lintu (original) | Tuonen Lintu (translation) |
|---|---|
| keltaisena aamuna | in the yellow morning |
| tmn kaltaisena aamuna | in a morning like this |
| kun huoneeni on kuollut | when my room is dead |
| ikkuna sokea silm vain | window blind eye only |
| juuri ylle asetellut | just laid out above |
| vaatteet kovin vsyneet | clothes very dry |
| ja kyn tyls, lyhyt | and nail dull, short |
| kden jlki hataraa | after a while |
| niin usein petin itseni | so often I betrayed myself |
| liian monesti kaikki muut | too many times everyone else |
| liian usein pidin elm | too often i liked elm |
| halpana syntymlahjana | as a cheap birth gift |
| nyt lumi peitt tienoon | now the snow is covered |
| tuonen lintu vaappuu virtaan | That bird wobbles in the stream |
| kyl hiljaa murenee | kyl quietly crumbles |
| ymprill kirkkomaan | around the churchyard |
| tuuli tunkee kytvill | the wind penetrates the wind |
| takin lpi iholle | the skin through the jacket |
| se nojaa pns voimattoman | it rests on pns powerless |
| voimaa etsien | seeking strength |
| kuivat lehdet, lukematta jneet | dry leaves, not counted |
| alla rapisee | below rattles |
| kun kuljen lpi tyhjyyteni | as I go through my emptiness |
| tyhjn kaupungin | empty city |
| kirjaimet niin sekaisin | letters so messed up |
| ett luulevat itsen sanoiksi | that they think of themselves as words |
| vain sen vuoksi ovat | just because they are |
| vieretysten laulussa | in the song of the scrolls |
