Varpunen jouluaamuna

Lumi on jo peittänyt kukat laaksosessa,
Järven aalto jäätynyt talvipakkasessa.
Varpunen pienoinen syönyt kesäeinehen,
Järven aalto jäätynyt talvi pakkasessa.

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 otan kyllä sulta!

En mä ole, lapsesi, lintu tästä maasta.
Olen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
Siemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit köyhälle,
Pieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.

A Sparrow on Christmas Morning

The snow has already covered the flowers in the valley,
The waves of the lake have frozen in the winter cold.
The little sparrow has eaten his summer meal,
The waves of the lake have frozen in the winter cold.

A fair maiden stood at the door of her little cottage:
Come, sparrow, with joy, take some seeds from me!
It is Christmas, my homeless little sparrow, my poor one.
Come here with joy, take some seeds from me!

The sparrow flew joyfully to the maiden:
Grateful I am to take the seeds from you.
God will reward you someday,
Grateful I am to take the seeds from you!

My child, I am not a bird from this land.
I am your little brother, I have come from heaven.
The little seed that you gave to the poor,
Your little brother received it from the land of angels.
