Lauloin yölle, lauloin tähtösille,
kyllin lauloin kuulle kalpealle.
Miksen laulais kerran auringolle,
sulle, sydämeni päivänkulta?

(I sang the night, I sang the stars above,
I sang of palest moonlight long enough.
Then why should I not sing the sun for once,
And sing to thee, O sunshine of my heart?)

Lauloin rakkautta onnetonta,
kyllin lauloin lemmen kyyneleitä.
Miks en laulais kerran onnellista osaa
rakastavan onnen myyrän?

(I sang a love unhappy, unrequited,
I sang of tears of loving long enough.
Then why should I not sing of happiness,
The song of loving soul most fortunate?)

Lauloin mieron linnun lehtipuita,
kyllin lauloin vierahitten viitaa.
Miks en laulais kerran kurkihirttä,
koska kodissani ruusut kukkii?

(I sang the trees where wayward birds went winging,
I sang of strangers' homesteads long enough.
Then why should I not sing the cottage rafters
Upon which roses bloom in my own home?)

Lauloin kangastusta korven kolkon,
kyllin lauloin talotonta tietä.
Miks en lailaos kerran keidastani,
yrttitarhaa yöni tuoksutäyden?

(I sang the visions of forbidding forest,
I sang of paths untrodden long enough.
Then why should I not sing of love's oasis,
The scented garden of my happy night?)

Lauloin äärettyyttä yksinäisen,
kyllin lauloin vaivan vuori-ilmaa.
Mikse en laulais kerran äärellistä maata,
jota sade, päivä siunaa?

(I sang the lonesome soul's infinity,
I sang of mountain breezes long enough.
Then why should I not sing of finite lands enjoying
Sunshine and a gentle rain?)

Lauloin mahteja ma murtavia,
kyllin lauloin jumalitten juhlaa.
Miks en laulais kerran ihmislasten häitä,
Joiss' on suru sulhaspoika?

(I sang the powers that could crush the earth,
I sang of godly banquets long enough.
Then why should I not sing of earthly wedding banquets,
At which sorrow is the best man?)

Murheet morsiamen helmaa kantaa,
tähtitelttaa taivaan vallat kateet.
Palaa punaisena tuskan tuohus,
mutta onnen otsalehti kiiltää.

(And grief as bridemaid keeps the bridal veil,
The canopy holds heaven's scornful powers,
Red flame of pain yet flickers in the candle,
But happiness shines brightly on the brow.)
