| Voikukkaseppele (original) | Voikukkaseppele (translation) |
|---|---|
| Voikukkaseppeleen s annoit ja teit lupauksen | You gave the dandelion wreath and made a promise |
| Voikukkaseppeleen nn huoneessani kuihtuneen | Dandelion wreath withered in my room |
| — kuin lupauksen jonka sulta sain | — like the promise I got from you |
| Sua viel kaipaan niin | I still miss you so much |
| Tiedt sen | You know that |
| S veit mut taivaisiin | S took me to heaven |
| Yli niittyjen | Over the meadows |
| Sen niityn tuoksuineen m muistan | I remember that meadow with its smell |
| Viel tarkalleen | Exactly |
| Ja pivn toukokuun, ensimmisen helteisen | And the day of May, the first hot one |
| — sen muistan aina uudelleen | — that I always remember again |
| Sua viel kaipaan niin | I still miss you so much |
| Tiedt sen | You know that |
| S veit mut taivaisiin | S took me to heaven |
| Yli niittyjen | Over the meadows |
| Uus kevt ajallaan saa niityn kukat kukkimaan | The new spring in time makes the flowers of the meadow bloom |
| Ehk aikanaan voikukkaseppeleen m saan | Maybe in time I'll get a dandelion wreath |
| — joka kuihdu ei | — which wilt not |
| Sua viel kaipaan niin | I still miss you so much |
| Tiedt sen | You know that |
| S veit mut taivaisiin | S took me to heaven |
| Yli niittyjen | Over the meadows |
