Lyrics of Varpunen jouluaamuna - Paula Koivuniemi

Varpunen jouluaamuna (original)

Lumi on jo peittanyt kukat laaksosessa,
jarven aalto jaatynyt talvipakkasessa.
Varpunen pienoinen, syonyt kesaeinehen,
jarven aalto jaatynyt talvi pakkasessa.
Pienen pirtin portailla oli tyttokulta:
tule, varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Joulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton,
tule tanne riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Tyton luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta:
kiitollisna siemenen otan kylla sulta.
Palkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua.
kiitollisna siemenen otan kylla sulta!
En ma ole, lapseni, varpu tasta maasta,
olen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit koyhallen,
pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.

(translation)

The snow has already covered the flowers in the valley,
lake wave split in winter frost.
Little sparrow, syonyt keseaine,
lake wave divided winter in the frost.
There was a girl on the steps of the little pirt:
come, sparrow, with joy, take seed from the ground!
It's Christmas, my homeless sparrow unhappy,
come here with joy, take the seed from the earth!
To Tyto now flew from the sparrow rejoicing:
gratefully, I will take the seed from you.
Reward God once wants you.
gratefully I will take the seed from you!
I am not, my child, a sparrow from this land,
I'm your little brother, I came from heaven.
The little seed that you gave to the koyhalla,
the little one got it from your brother's land of angels.
