(A Finnish Poem)

Minä tahdon maljani tyhjentää, kun ensi leivoset laulaa, kun koivut on hiirenkorvallaan ja vuorilla virrat pauhaa. Ja tahdon ma lauluni lahjoittaa, kun ensi joutsen soutaa, kun kukka on puussa ja kukka on maassa ja lehdot leikkihin joutaa. Eino Leino (1878 - 1926)






Mine, the dawn of magical chant
I can see the loveliest love
I can hide in novel lines
Yes, an aura of a variant power.

Yes, the dawn of my lonely heart.
I can sing a joyous duet
I can catch on pause aye!
Yes, catch on I may say!
Yes, loud, lingering enjoyment. 







(God knows what I decoded, but I tried :D )

  1. Even when we don't understand the words the translation results in pretty good poetry. :-D

    1. Hahahaha...I seriously have no idea what those words mean.My daughter 's pic which she has taken while on her evening stroll made me take up the challenge. I weaved words keeping that spring flower in my mind and the phonetic sounds of the poem. Thank you for the compliment :)
