Soluppgång

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE GER

Under himlens purpurbrand
Ligga tysta sjö och land,
Det är gryningsstunden.
Snöig gren och frostvit kvist
Tecka sig så segervisst
Mot den röda grunden.

Riddarn står vid fönsterkarm,
Lyssnar efter stridens larm,
Trampar golvets tilja.
Men en smal och snövit hand
Kyler milt hans pannas brand,
Böjer mjukt hans vilja.tenderly 

Riddarn sätter horn till mun,
Blåser vilt I gryningsstund,
Över nejd som tiger.
Tonen klingar, klar och spröd,
Branden slocknar, gyllenröd,
Solen sakta stiger.

Auringonnousu

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Purppuraisena liekehtivän taivaan alla
lepäävät rauhassa meri ja maa,
on aamunsarastuksen hetki.
Puiden lumiset haarat ja huurteiset oksat
piirtyvät niin voitonvarmoina
punaista taustaa vastaan.

Ritari seisoo ikkunassa,
kuuntelee taistelun melskettä,
polkee lattialankkuja.
Mutta hoikka lumivalkoinen käsi
viilentää hellästi hänen palavaa otsaansa,
taivuttaa hänet hellästi tahtoonsa.

Ritari nostaa torven huulilleen,
puhaltaa villisti sarastuksen hetkellä
yli vaikenevan tienoon.
Ääni soi kirkkaana ja hauraana,
kullanpunaiset liekit sammuvat,
hitaasti nousee aurinko.
