Vapaus
Language: Finnish (Suomi)
Ruumiini on ollut vankila. Nyt lyön sen rikki. Vapauden huikaiseva taivas jo näkyy. Voi tuulet, teissä on kaukaisten auringonnousujen tuoksu! Pois, pois yli tuskan maan, pois kehästä planeettain! Maa ei kuule riemuhuutoani, olen liian kaukana.

Friheten
Language: Swedish (Svenska) after the Finnish (Suomi)
Kroppen blev mig till ett fängelse. Nu jag det bryter. Friheten är blindande och himmelen re’n synes. O vindar, doftande bringen i soluppgångarnas hälsning! Bort, bort över smärtans jord, bort ur planeters kretsgång! Jorden hör ej mina glädjesånger, jag är redan fjärran.
