Original text and translations

Finnish text Hyvän illan sanon sulle kultani armas kun tulen taas sua tervehtimään. Sinisiä silmiä kasvoita kauniita mun teki mieleni katselemaan. Sinisiä silmiä kasvoita kauniita mun teki mieleni katselemaan. Vaikka minä vaeltasin ympäri maata asusin jo jäämeren takana. Kuvasi on kätketty sytämeni alle toivoni ei pitä lakata. Kuvasi on kätketty sytämeni alle toivoni ei pitä lakata.

English translation I'll wish you good evening, my sweet darling, when I return to greet you again. I loved to gaze upon your blue eyes and your face so fair. Although I have wandered around the country and dwelt beyond the ice-bound sea, your picture was locked in my heart: my hopes must never die. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
