Froher Tag

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Was mich den Tag so froh gemacht?
   Ich will dir’s leise sagen:

Du kamst im Traume diese Nacht,
du reichtest lächelnd mir die Hand
und "Liebster" hast du mich genannt . . .

Nun muß ich diesen ganzen Tag
in Alltagshast und Werkelplag 
den süßen Laut im Ohre tragen . . .

Iloinen päivä

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

Mikä teki tämän päivän niin iloiseksi?
Kuiskaan sen sinulle aivan hiljaa:
Viime yönä sinä tulit unessa luokseni,
ojensit hymyillen kätesi
ja kutsuit minua ”Rakkaimmaksesi”...

Nyt minun täytyy koko tämän päivän ajan
arjen kiireissä ja työpaineissa
kantaa korvissani sitä suloista ääntä...
