Spring

Sun rays
They are here
Playing with the swallows

The lake is free
The fjord shakes its shoulders
The mighty river is ready

They come
You're always welcome
I hail you!
You white birds of lakes
Bring the wisdom from far-away lands
Bring the peace and life
You bearers of the light

Time runs with Vuoksi
Like a fjord of eternity
We are just shrews of existence
Glimpse in the eye of universe

I bow to rowan
May you remember me
When my bones glow white
Shall you tell them
We are here only to borrow

King of the forest
You all-mighty bruin
You know when it all began
Shall Tapio grant you your power
You earliest of man

Land of lakes and swamps
Land of ice and fire
Granite will commemorate
Our trip here on Earth.
