Nimesi
Language: Finnish (Suomi)
Kun ei minulla muuta ole, sopertelen nimeäsi hämärissä, hymyilen ja sopertelen nimeäsi. Se on kuin elävä olento, lämmin, lepertelevä lapsi, jota elätän punaisen suuni verellä hymyillessäni hämärässä ja sopertaessani nimeäsi. Mutta silmistäni vuotaa tietämättäni kyyneleitä.

Ditt namn
Language: Swedish (Svenska) after the Finnish (Suomi)
Då jag intet annat äger, viskar jag ditt namn för mig, leende jag viskar ditt namn namn för mig. Det är som en levande varelse, som ett barn som leker i famnen, och jag matar det med min muns röda blod leende i skymningsstunden och viskar sakta ditt namn för mig. Men ur ögat faller, utan att jag vet, tårar.
