Muuttolinnut [English translation]

When the winter's getting closer

So the birds gather

Again to flocks,

that fling to a wild flight

So is restless too

the mind of that man

Who promised to build you

that gentry mansion

They aren't making a nest

that's windproof

Before the snow comes they disappear from here

They aren't making a nest

that's winterproof

Their destination is in the oversea countries

The branches became frosted

You see that the lake has frozen

So you know that the migrant birds

have left from here again

And you also know that

Your room's quiet

When you noticed that it had left

That summertime finch

They aren't making a nest

that's windproof

Before the snow comes they disappear from here

They aren't making a nest

that's winterproof

Their destination is in the oversea countries

They aren't making a nest

that's windproof

They aren't making a nest

that's winterproof

They aren't making a nest

that's windproof

Before the snow comes they disappear from here

They aren't making a nest

that's winterproof

Their destination is in the oversea countries

Only a forest tit

Falls behind that flock

That through a nighttime sky travels with hurtling wings

So you too

get a new partner

and forget that "sky painter"* of the gone summer.
