Svanevit! Svanevit!
Vi sjunger du i natten?
Säg, längtar du dit
till de evigt speglande vatten?

Svanevit! Svanevit!
Vi dog din ton i smärta?
Säg, längtar du dit,
där länge du bott med ditt hjärta?

Svanevit! Svanevit!
Ett vingslag hörs i natten.
Säg, lyfte du dit
till de evigt speglande vatten?

Valkea joutseneni

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

Valkea joutseneni!
Miksi sinä laulat yössä?
Sano, kaipaatko sinne
aina sulina päilyvien vetten luo?
 
Valkea joutseneni!
Miksi laulusi kuoli tuskaan?
Sano, kaipaatko sinne,
missä sydämesi on niin kauan asunut?
 
Valkea joutseneni!
Siivenlyönti kuuluu yössä.
Sano, lähditkö sinne
aina sulina päilyvien vetten luo?
