Hvad est du dog skjøn
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  ENG FIN
Hvad est du dog skjøn, ja skøn,
Ja skøn, du aller lifligste Guds Søn!
O du min Sulamit, Sulamit. Ja mit,
Ja mit, alt, hvad jeg har er også dit.

Min Ven, du est min, ja min,
Ja min; så lad mig altid være din!
Ja, evig vist, evig vist, ja vist, 
Ja vist! Du min skal blive her og hist

Men tænk, jeg er her, ja her,
Ja her iblandt så mange dragne Sværd!
O så kom, Due! kom Due! kom, ja kom!
Ja kom! I Klippens Rif er Ro og Rum.

Miten kaunis sinä oletkaan, niin kaunis
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Miten kaunis sinä oletkaan, niin kaunis,
niin kaunis, sinä olet Jumalan Poika, ihanin kaikista!
Oma Sulamitini. Sinä olet minun,
Kaikki mitä minulla on, on myös sinun.

Ystäväni, sinä olet minun, minun,
annathan minun aina olla sinun!
Tietysti, nyt ja aina, tietysti,
sinä olet minun täällä ja ikuisuudessa.

Mutta sinähän tiedät, että olen täällä, olen täällä,
paljastettujen miekkojen keskellä!
Tule siis, kyyhkyläiseni, tule, tule nyt vain!
Kallion suojassa on tilaa; täällä saat rauhan.
