Liten jungfru

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN

Liten jungfru, liten skatt,
gångar uti dansen,
binder uti sommarnatt
granna önskekransen,
binder för sitt hjärtas vän,
binder, binder, binder än
granna önskekransen.
 
Liten jungfru, liten skatt,
plockar örter många,
sover uti sommarnatt,
drömmer hon kan fånga
riddaren av hjärtats ros,
riddaren, som for sin kos,
honom kan hon fånga.
 
Liten jungfru, liten skatt,
snyftar tyst och gråter,
vet ej att i denna natt
riddarn vänder åter,
riddaren, som for sin kos,
riddaren av hjärtats ros,
vänder, vänder åter.

Pikku neiti

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

Pikku neiti, pikku kulta
menee tanssimaan,
sitoo kesäyössä
korean toivomusseppeleen,
sitoo sen sydämensä ystävälle,
sitoo, sitoo, sitoo
korean toivomusseppeleen,
 
Pikku neiti, pikku kulta
poimii monia yrttejä,
nukahtaa suviyössä,
uneksii saavansa omakseen
ruususydämen ritarin,
ritarin, joka ajoi tiehensä,
hänet tyttö voisi saada omakseen.
 
Pikku neiti, pikku kulta
nyyhkyttää hiljaa ja itkee,
hän ei tiedä, että tänä yönä
ritari palaa takaisin,
ritari, joka ajoi tiehensä,
ruususydämen ritari
palaa, palaa takaisin.
