| Elegia (original) | Elegia (translation) |
|---|---|
| Joi poika senkin kuukauden | Joi son even that month |
| Ja aikaan kauniin aamunkoiton | And at the time of a beautiful dawn |
| H???¤n kouristeli itkien | He cramped crying |
| Nyt viina veisi voiton | Now the liquor would win |
| Niin ???¤iti saapui huoneeseen | So ??? Mom arrived in the room |
| Valituksen kuullessaan | Upon hearing the complaint |
| H???¤n vaiti katsoi juoneeseen | He kept looking at the plot |
| Kalmankalpeaan | Kalmankalpea |
| Veti verhot ikkunaan | Pulled the curtains on the window |
| Ja otti tuolin alle | And took under the chair |
| Kun poika yski | When the boy coughed |
| Verta lattialle | Blood on the floor |
| Mit???¤???¤n sanottavaa ollut ei | There was nothing to say |
| K???¤si tarttunut ei toiseen | One hand did not grab another |
| ???idin katse ulos vei | ??? I looked out |
| Aamuaurinkoiseen | In the morning sun |
| Niin kului tunti, toinenkin | It took an hour, another |
| Ja hiljeni sen pojan peti | And fell silent on that boy's bed |
| Ja ???¤iti ylleen haalarin | And ??? mother wearing an overalls |
| Ja saappaat jalkaan veti | And he pulled on his boots |
| Yli pellon pahaisen | Over the field of evil |
| Laahusti naapuritaloon | Dragged to a neighboring house |
| Astui varoen | He stepped carefully |
| V???¤h???¤iseen valoon … | Low light |
| Ei kiire vaivannut kysyj???¤???¤ | Not in a hurry bothered the questioner ??? ¤ ??? ¤ |
| Vain yhdest???¤ oli huoli | Only one was worried |
| «Soittakaa kirkolle | «Call the church |
| kun poika ???¤sken kuoli» | when the boy ??? just died » |
