Komm, gib mir die Hand

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Komm, gib mir die Hand, 
   auf blühenden Wegen 
gehn wir dem Glück entgegen, 
   wie Kinder im Märchenland. 

   Weiter, immer weiter . .

Bis über uns die Sterne stehn, 
   bis der Abendwind 
uns [einholt]¹ über die Heide 
und Märchenschleier uns umwehn 
   von zarter dunkler Seide . . .

Tule, anna kätesi

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

Tule, anna kätesi,
kukkivilla teillä
me vaellamme onnea kohti,
kuin lapset satumaassa.

Kauemmas, aina kauemmas...

Kunnes tähdet hohtavat yllämme,
kunnes iltatuuli 
tavoittaa meidät nummella,
ja ympärillemme kietoutuvat satuhunnut,
jotka ovat pehmeää, tummaa silkkiä.
