from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Quant’ (à) elle (…elle) est (l’)art
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kaks' on kaunista kesällä:
lehti puussa, ruoho maassa,
minä kohta kolmantena,
minä lehti liehumassa,
minä kukka kuulumassa,
minä heinä heilumassa.
Vaan en huoli, huolikana,
hyvä heinä, heilumahan,
hyvä kukka, kuulumahan,
lemmenlehti, liehumahan;
ei pahat hyvästä tieä,
ei katalat kaunihista,
rupalötöt ruskiasta,
pullosuut punaverestä.
