Veli |
| I was in the days that are gone-- |
| I was like an apple flower |
| A cowberry flower on a hillside |
| My father used to call me blossom |
| Mother used to call me sunrise |
| And a moon my sister called me |
| I went out to tend the cattle-- |
| As a lassie out to herd sheep |
| To a brook I came thus herding |
| On the bank there stood a willow |
| From the willow fell a young lad |
| With a buckle, a belt in his hand |
| I, poor lassie, took to weeping,-- |
| And the youngster wondered, asking |
| What is it you weep for, maiden? |
| There is something that I weep for |
| I do weep for my young brother |
| I have not seen him with my eyes |
| Since he went to war at a young age |
| Since he went to war at a young age |
| Do not weep for your young brother-- |
| Look, there comes now your young brother |
| Under the castle oars are rowing |
| Above the castle the head is looking |
| I, poor lassie, began to listen, |
| I, the wretched one, started looking |
| I, poor lassie, began to listen, |
| I, the wretched one, started looking |
| But my brother stood beside me-- |
| In front of me my mother’s young one |
