Varpunen jouluaamuna \/ The sparrow in the Cristmas morning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lumi on jo peitt\u00e4nyt kukat laaksosessa,
\nj\u00e4rvenaalto j\u00e4\u00e4tynyt talvipakkasessa,
\nvarpunen pienoinen sy\u00f6nyt kes\u00e4einehen,
\nj\u00e4rvenaalto j\u00e4\u00e4tynyt talvipakkasessa.<\/p>\n

Pienen pirtin portailla oli tytt\u00f6kulta:
\nTule varpu, riemulla, ota siemen multa!
\nJoulu on, koditon varpuseni onneton,
\ntule t\u00e4nne riemulla, ota siemen multa!<\/p>\n

Tyt\u00f6n luo nyt riemuiten lensi varpukulta:
\nKiitollisna siemenen otan kyll\u00e4 sulta.
\nPalkita Jumala tahtoo kerran sinua.
\nKiitollisna siemenen ota kyll\u00e4 sulta.<\/p>\n

En m\u00e4 ole, lapseni, lintu t\u00e4st\u00e4 maasta.
\nOlen pieni veljesi, tulin taivahasta.
\nSiemenen pienoisen, jonka annoit k\u00f6yh\u00e4llen,
\npieni sai sun veljesi enkeleitten maasta.<\/p>\n

The Sparrow in the Christmas morning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snow already covered all in the valley yonder
\nfrozen is the wave of lake in the frost of winter.
\nLittle sparrow sweet and good
\neaten up his summer food.
\nFrozen is the wave of lake in the frost of winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the stairs of little house stood a girl who plead:
\nCome dear sparrow and with joy take from me a seed!
\nIt\u2019s Christmas now and here
\nsparrow without home and cheer.
\nCome dear sparrow and with joy take from me a seed!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To the girl\u2019s feet filled with joy flew the darling sparrow:
\nGratefully I take from you seed of blood and marrow.
\nGod will pay you threefold
\ndarling girl with soul of gold.
\nGratefully I take from you seed of blood and marrow.<\/p>\n

Dear child I\u2019m not a bird from this world of strangers
\nI\u2019m your little brother dead coming from the heavens.
\nWhen you fed the poor in need
\nyou gave me a little seed.
\nI\u2019m your little brother dead from the land of angels.<\/p>\n
