Beerdigung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FIN

Die Maienglöckchen läuten
mit Totenglockenklang;
es ist ein Herz gestorben,
das war solange krank.
 
Die Totengräber fliegen
die ganz Maiennacht;
sie haben dem roten Herzen
ein schwarzes Grab gemacht.
 
In dem Zypressenbaume
da singt ein Vögelein;
nun lasset uns aber trinken
den roten, roten Wein.
 
Nun lasset uns aber singen,
zu Ende ist die Not;
wir haben das Herz begraben,
das rote Herz ist tot.

Hautajaiset

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

Kielonkellot soivat
kuin kuolinkellot;
muuan sydän on kuollut,
se, joka sairasti niin kauan.
 
Turkkilot lentävät
koko kevätyön;
ne ovat kaivaneet punaiselle sydämelle
mustan haudan.
 
Sypressipuussa
laulaa lintunen;
mutta me juomme nyt
punaista viiniä.
 
Nyt voimme laulaa,
hätä ja tuska on ohi;
hautasimme sydämen.
punainen sydän on kuollut.

Note for line 2-1 : Turkkilon saksankielinen nimi tarkoittaa haudankaivajaa
