Lyrics and translation Matti Louhivuori - Pihakoivun Alla

Pihakoivun Alla

Pihakoivun Alla
Mukava on olla
Kesähellesuojan
Meille se suo

Vaikka syksyn viimat
Puvun siltä viepi
Aina kevään tullen
Uudet lehdet luo

Pihakoivu kallis
Kukaan ei sun sallis
Soreainen neito
Kuihtuvan pois

Oksillasi pienet
Linnut livertää
Laulut pihakoivu
Yksin ymmärtää

Under the Yard Birch Tree

Under the Yard Birch Tree
Oh Darling, it is so pleasant
In the shelter of its summer branches
It is our protection

Even though the autumn winds
Strip it of its foliage
Every spring, it returns
With a new cloak of leaves

Oh Yard Birch Tree, my dear
No one will ever let you down
You sorrowful maiden
With your withering away

Oh darling little birds,
Who sing sweetly on its branches,
You alone understand the Yard Birch Tree
And its songs
