Cantilena

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN

Tror ni en kvinna så lätt kan glömma,
tror ni en känsla så lätt förgår?
Känslor som väckts de stiga och strömma,
sjuda som bäckar i vaknande vår.

Röst som en gång har smekt vår öra
hviskar alltjemt i vårt hjertas vrå,
om man den stämman icke vill höra,
o, man hör den, man här den ändå!

Stundom i skymmande sommarnatten
ljuda i drömmen toner från förr,
susa som sång öfver stilla vatten,
klappa så sakta på hjertats dörr!

Cantilena

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

Luuletteko naisen voivan helposti unohtaa,
luuletteko, että tunne haihtuisi niin nopeasti?
Heränneet tunteet kohoavat virtailemaan,
porisevat kuin purot kevään herätessä.

Ääni, joka kerran on hivellyt korvaamme,
kuiskii edelleenkin sydämemme sopukoissa,
vaikka et tahtoisikaan kuulla sen ääntä,
niin voi, kuuntele, kuuntele sitä kuitenkin!

Toisinaan kesäyön hämyssä
kaikuu kuin unessa ääniä menneisyydestä,
laulun lailla ne humisevat tyynien vesien yllä,
kolkuttavat niin varovaisesti sydämen ovelle!
