Kuu Paestaa, Kuollu Ajjaa [English translation]

A maiden on the roadside at night is awaiting for her groom.

The Moon shines pale light, snowbanks are glowing

Long ago a boy made a promise to come and see her

Far away a sleigh bell rings, she meets her beloved on board

The moon is shining brightly

The dead man is driving lightly

The moon lights up nighttime snow

The groom is casting no shadow

The horse sleigh speeds on open lake

My darling, aren’t you yet afraid?

She knows not that for a long time now her suitor has been deceased

The hushed man says not a word, sternly keeps on driving

Pallid fingers seize the girl and pull her into a freezing embrace

To his place beneath the grave he's taking the shrieking maiden

The moon is shining, the dead man is driving

Heading for the underworld

The cold handed man takes the girl

into the burial ground at Vehmasmäki
