by Karl Gustaf Larson (1873 - 1948), as Larin-Kyösti

Ota se kaunis kannel taas
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Ota se kaunis kannel taas 
ja istu sen koivun alle, 
soita sydämen lauluja 
sille halulle haikialle! 

Anna sormesi soudella 
sen vaskisen kielen yli, 
laula kulohon kukkia 
ja lepoa aallon syliin! 

Viritä nuori neitonen 
mun sieluni kanteloita, 
laula kuin laulaisit itsekses, 
kun katselen silmiäs noita!
