Illalla (In the Evening), Op. 19, No. 7

Illalla kävelin ma kangasta pitkin,
Kankaalta kimpuksi kanervia kitkin.
Yö oli ihana ja tuuloset nukkui,

Kukat kaikki tuoksui ja käköset ne kukkui.

Mikä minun sydämeni synkäksi saikaan?
Muistoni lensivät nuoruuden aikaan.

Katselin kädessäni kankahan kukkaa,
Ajattelin impeä tuuheatukkaa.
Maahan ma kanervani kaunihit heitin
Niin kuin ma ilonikin multahan peitin.

In the Evening (Illalla), Op. 19, No. 7

In the evening, I walked along the meadow,
Plucking heather into a bouquet from the meadow.
The night was beautiful and the breezes slept,

All the flowers smelled sweet and the cuckoos they sang.

What has made my heart turn somber?
My memories flew back to the time of my youth.

I looked at the meadow flower in my hand,
I thought of a maiden with thick hair.
I threw my beautiful heather on the ground
Just as I buried my joy in the soil.
