Kannan tunturilla,

I Lull My Child,

|
Kannan tunturilla |
I lull on the mountains |
|
pientä kaunista lasta. |
My beautiful child to sleep. |
|
Riekko edessä mun vaeltaa. |
A willow grouse ahead us saunters. |
|
Tuuli hyväilee hiljaa |
The wind cherishes softly |
|
suolaheinää kädellään, |
The sorrel with her long hand, |
|
päivä taa tunturin |
The day behind the peaks |
|
piiloutuu. |
Of stone hides. |

|
Kaiku huutoon vastaa, |
The echo sounds the plot |
|
kun mun lullatus hellä |
When my affectionate song |
|
alkaa aaluvan luonta painaa. |
Makes my little precious baby tired. |
|
Pienet keltaiset kädet, |
Tiny tanned hands, jaw and nose, |
|
rus – keat silmät |
Bottomless look of her eyes |
|
pian kai nukahtavat |
Soon will turn into rest |
|
syliini. |
In my arms. |

|
Tämän lapsen uni, |
The dream of my young one, |
|
iso veikeä hymy |
Big funny contented smile |
|
lailla porotokan aukeaa |
like a herd of reindeer spreads around |
|
ja se käteni yhteen |
And it makes me cross my arms. |
|
liittää ja laulan, nauran |
I sing and I praise the land |
|
valossa kyljellään |
In the flat light which crawls |
|
kulkeessa. |
Through the air. |
