Yonder Beyond the Forestland
Folk Song
Folk Song
(Finnish)
(English)
1. Tuonne taakse metsämaan
sydämeni halaa,
siell' on mieli ainiaan,
sinne toivon salaa.
Siellä metsämökissä on
kaunis kultaseni,
siellä metsämökissä on
kaunis kultaseni.
2. Vaikka polku pitkä on
kivinen ja kaita,
korpi kolkko valoton,
ei se mitään haita.
Kullan muoto muistoissa on
tiekin hauska aivan,
kullan ääntä kuullessa jo
unhottaapi vaivan.
1. Yonder, beyond the forestland,
My heart yearns,
My mind is there always,
It is my secret hope to be there.
There in a forest cabin,
There is my beautiful sweetheart,
There in a forest cabin,
There is my beautiful sweetheart.
2. Even though the path is long,
Stony and narrow,
The backwoods dreary and gloomy,
It does not matter.
When remembering my sweetheart's figure
The road is joyous,
When hearing my sweetheart's voice,
I forget the hardship.
Thanks!
