Our translations: FIN

So dunkel ist die Ferne,
die Haide ist so leer,
die schwarzen Krähen kommen
hastig über sie her.
 
Auf weiter dunkler Haide
ich ganz alleine bin,
die schwarzen Krähen fliegen

Yksin

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

Niin pimeä on kaukaisuus,
nummi niin tyhjä,
mustat varikset tulevat
kiirehtien sen yli tännepäin.
 
Avaralla pimeällä nummella
minä olen aivan yksin,
mustat varikset lentävät
aina vaan yllitseni.
