Suomenmaa
Maa kunnasten ja laaksojen,
Mi on tuo kaunoinen?
Tuo hohteess’ kesäpäivien,
Tuo loisteess’ pohjan tulien,
Tuo talven, suven ihana,
Mi ompi soma maa?
Siell’ tuhansissa järvissä
Yön tähdet kimmeltää
Ja Kanteleitten pauhina
Siell’ kaikuu ympär’ kallioi’
Ja kultanummen hongat soi:
Se ompi Suomenmaa.
En milloinkaan mä unohtais
Sun lempeet’ taivastas,
En tulta heljän aurinkos,
En kirkast’ kuuta kuusistos,
En kaskiesi savua
Päin pilviin nousevaa.
Ol’ monta näissä laaksoissa
Tok’...

Fall, leaves, fall
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
Emily Bronté

La Rosa
la inmarcesible rosa que no canto,
la que es peso y fragancia,
la del negro jardín en la alta noche,
la de cualquier jardín y cualquier tarde,
la rosa que resurge de la tenue
ceniza por el arte de la alquimia,
la rosa de los persas y de Ariosto,
la que siempre está sola,
la que siempre...

Show me
the most damaged
parts of your soul
and I will show you
how it still shines like gold…

La o fotografie
Mă uit privind fotografia
În care chipu-ţi stă cuprins
Şi de pe care vitregia
Nici o lumină n-a desprins.
Eşti tot aşa ca altădată,
Precum erai şi te-am visat.
De ramă veşnic apărată,
La tine timpul n-a intrat.
Prin marginile ei de piatră
Cu care dârz te-mprejmuii,
Chiar de-ar fi vrut să te lovească,
Duşmanul n-a putut lovi.
Privesc la...

Erotessa
Muistelen minä sinua:
satakielet soittelevat
yössäni hämärtyvässä.
Muistelet sinä minua:
lepinkäiset lentelevät
pääsi päälle istumahan.
Muistelemme toisiamme:
kaksi kaunista kesällä
kesälehti kolmantena.
Eino Leino

Apart
Remember you, love at first sight,
nightingales sing in empty soul
in darkness of my empty night.
Remember me, love at first sight,
shrikes fly in legends of the fall
and sit on your head in light.
We are remembering each other
two...

Tal vez no ser es ser sin que tú seas
Tal vez no ser es ser sin que tú seas,
sin que vayas cortando el mediodía
como una flor azul, sin que camines
más tarde por la niebla y los ladrillos,
sin esa luz que llevas en la mano
que tal vez otros no verán dorada,
que...

Cantec in doi
Si vine toamna iar’
ca dup-un psalm aminul.
Doi suntem gata să gustam
cu miere-amestecat veninul.
Doi suntem gata s-ajutam
brindusile ardorii
să infloreasca iar’ în noi
si-n toamna-aceasta de apoi.
Doi suntem, când cu umbra lor
ne impresoara-n lume norii.
Ce ginduri are soarele cu noi —
nu stim, dar suntem doi.
Lucian Blaga

A friend like you
There’s lots of things with which I’m blessed,
My problems have been few,
But of all, this one’s the best:
To have a friend like you.
In times of trouble friends will say,
“Just ask, I’ll help you through it.”
But you don’t wait for me to ask,
You just get up and do...
