Giura il nocchier che al mare

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FIN GER

Giura il nocchier che al mare
non presterà più fede,
ma se tranquillo il vede
corre di nuovo al mar.

Di non trattar più l'armi
giura il guerrier tal volta,
ma se una tromba ascolta,
già non si sa frenar.

Perämies kyllä vannoo

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Perämies kyllä vannoo,
ettei enää koskaan luota mereen,
mutta kun hän näkee sen rauhallisena,
hän lähtee merille uudestaan.

Ettei enää koskaan tartu aseisiin,
vannoo sotilas hyvinkin usein,
mutta kun hän kuulee sotatorven kutsun,
ei häntä enää mikään pidättele.
