Blomman i solen stod vacker och röd

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN

Blomman i solen stod vacker och röd,
gullglänsande drack ur kalken ett djur;
när nog han druckit, i sommarens glöd
kring fina bladen han tog sig en tur –
men blomman lyste mer hänförd en nyss
av gyllene djurets långtsugande kyss.

Kukka

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Kukka seisoi auringossa kauniina ja punaisena,
joku kullanhohtoinen olento joi sen maljasta;
kun se oli juonut tarpeekseen, kesän hehkussa
vihreiden lehtien keskellä se jatkoi matkaansa –
mutta kukka loisti haltioituneempana kuin äsken
saatuaan kullanhohtoisen olennon pitkän suudelman.
