Schwefelgelbe Blitze fahren

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FIN

Schwefelgelbe Blitze fahren 
durch die blaue Sommernacht, 
knirschend sich die Buchen biegen 
und es stöhnt und pfeift und kracht.  
 
Und es kracht und knirscht und donnert 
und die stärkste Buche liegt 
mit den Wurzeln ausgerissen 
vor mir wettersturmbesiegt.  
 
Wie ein Wetter war die Stunde, 
die mich brausend überwand, 
als ich ohne Kraft und Willen 
mich zu deinen Füßen fand.

Rikinkeltaiset salamat sinkoilevat

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Rikinkeltaiset salamat sinkoilevat
sinisessä kesäyössä,
pyökit taipuilevat naristen,
kuuluu voihketta, vinkunaa ja räiskinää.
 
Nyt räiskyy ja rätisee ja jyrisee,
ja kaikkein suurin pyökki makaa
juuret irtireväistynä
edessäni rajuilman voittamana.
 
Kuin rajuilma oli sekin hetki,
joka kohisten vyöryi ylitseni,
kun voimattomana, tahdottomana
löysin itseni sinun jalkojesi juuresta.
