Varpunen jouluaamuna

Lumi on jo peittänyt kukat laaksosessa,
Järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa,
Varpunen pienoinen syönyt kesäeinehen,
Järvenaalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa.
Pienen pirtin portailla oli tyttökulta:
Tule varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Joulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton,
Tule tänne riemulla, ota siemen multa!
Tytön luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta:
Kiitollisna siemenen otan kyllä sulta.
Palkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua.
Kiitollisna siemenen ota kyllä sulta.
En mä ole, lapseni, varpu tästä maasta.
Olen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit köyhällen,
Pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit köyhällen,
Pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.

Sparrow on Christmas Morning

Snow has already covered the flowers in the valley,
Lake waves frozen in the winter cold,
Tiny sparrow has eaten its summer food,
Lake waves frozen in the winter cold.
On the steps of a small cottage was a girl:
Come sparrow, with joy, take a seed from me!
It is Christmas, my homeless little sparrow,
Come here with joy, take a seed from me!
To the girl now flew the joyful sparrow:
Gratefully I will take the seed from you.
God will reward you.
Gratefully I will take the seed from you.
I am not, my child, a sparrow from this land.
I am your little brother, I came from Heaven.
The tiny seed, which you gave to the poor,
Your little brother received from the land of angels.
The tiny seed, which you gave to the poor,
Your little brother received from the land of angels.
