Durch blühende Lande geht mein Weg

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Durch blühende Lande geht mein Weg,
und mit den Wolken geht mein Traum,
bald schlaf ich unterm Brückensteg
und bald im Feld am Lindenbaum.

Die schlimmste Sorge bleibt mir fern,
zufrieden ist mein Wanderblick;
und leuchtet mir kein heller Stern,
so trügt mich auch kein Alltagsglück.

Nur neulich, als im Abendrot
ein junger Fant nach Hause kam,
sein junges Weib den Mund ihm bot
und er ans Herz die Kinder nahm:

Da fiel auch mich ein Sehnen an
nach Weib und Kind und eigenem Herd . . 
Verstohlen meine Träne rann,
und still hab ich mich abgekehrt.

Läpi kukkivien maiden käy tieni

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

Läpi kukkivien maiden käy tieni,
ja uneni kiitävät pilvien kanssa.
Joskus nukun sillan alla
ja joskus kedolla lehmuksen vierellä.

Pahin suru pysyy minusta loitolla,
vaeltaessani olen tyytyväinen näkemääni;
ja vaikk'ei mikään kirkas tähti loistakaan minulle,
ei arjen onnikaan minua petä.
