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.

Small Bird On Christmas Morning

Snow has already covered the flowers in the valley,
The waves of the lake have frozen in the winter cold.
A small sparrow ate its summer meal,
The waves of the lake have frozen in the winter cold.

A beautiful girl stood by the small cottage door:
Come, sparrow, with joy, take a seed from me!
It is Christmas, my dear homeless sparrow.
Come here with joy, take a seed from me!

The sparrow flew to the girl with joy:
I will gratefully take a seed from you.
God will reward you one day,
I will gratefully take a seed from you!

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