Kuu kalpea
 (Sung text for setting by L. Madetoja)
 Matches original text
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kuu kalpea kulkevi kulkuaan,
kevät-yö on kaunis ja pyhä.
Kai aika jo ammoin erota ois,
mut yhdessä ollaan me yhä.

Yön tuulonen hiljaa tuudittaa
lepän lehviä uinuvia.
Sydän ääneti sykkien aavistaa
suven suuria unelmia.
