English Version by Timothy Adès
PELKO VALTAA MIELENI

Pelko valtaa mieleni
aavistaessani, että pian koittaa
surun ja murheen aika.
Tule, tule tänne luokseni!
Kun syksy saa lehdet kellastumaan
ja jokien vesi muuttuu sameaksi
ja pilvet työntyvät toistensa lomaan,
tule silloin, tule!
Suojele minua,
tue minua,
tartu käteeni.
Auta minua rakastamaan!
I am afraid, I’m gripped by fear.
I sense a time of laments is near.
Come with great love, come to me here!
When leaves in autumn fail and fade
When streams show off a sadder shade
When clouds in close crowds shift and shove –
Then come! Come with great love!
Escorting
Supporting
Grip my hand –
Help me to love!
