Original text and translations

Finnish text On aurinko astunut mereen, meren kattanut jäykkä jää, syys siirtynyt sankarin vereen, pian talvikin hallapää. Ja voittanut on epäusko, sydän särkynyt heikosti lyö, on sammunut viimeinen rusko ja pitkä on pohjolan yö. Tule vitkaan talvinen huura yli maan, yli puun, yli veen, sada hiljaa kuoleman kuura yli urhon uinahtaneen.

English text The sun on the sea now has mounted, freezing ridges atop the sea, and fall with past heroes is counted, winter’s frost will soon with us be. And faithlessness seeming is winning, weakly beating my broken heart, the tinge of leaf browning is thinning – lengthy northerly night will start. O, frost of the winter, come slowly o’er the earth and the gladed pool, O, deathly, may frost settle quietly ‘pon the dozing heroic fool.
