Pohjoisen lilja [English translation]

You see playful children,

the day turning into evening.

Shadow on your face lingers.

always a little bit longer,

across the yard, over the land,

winter is coming.

Still half a year until summer,

the same amount of time since,

the voices from the stairway

told of him leaving.

Innocent eyes ask

is he ever coming back?

Northern lily

don't you remain worried.

That which is true today,

tomorrow will take away

Northern lily,

raise head upright again,

and seize your day,

you can't do more than that here .

You watch a little boy,

you tuck him into the bed.

Sister already sleeps beside him.

dreams children's white dreams,

you would give all to them,

you would die for them.

And if your sorrow is great

so is your love too.

you can do nothing about it,

what world brought on,

but your stem is strong

and your flowers still so beautiful are.

Northern lily

don't you remain worried.

That which is true today,

tomorrow will take away

Northern lily,

raise head upright again,

and seize your day,

you can't do more than that here .

You often look for him in the dark of the night,

shoulder, voice which comfort.

However you know, that if he would be present

there would be a wildernes between you,

where both merely desire for water.

Northern lily

don't you remain worried.

That which is true today,

tomorrow will take away

Northern lily,

raise head upright again,

and seize your day,

you can't do more than that here .
