| KUN MUN KULTANI TULISI | MISSING HIM |
| Kun mun kultani tulisi, | Should my treasure come |
| armahani asteleisi, | my darling step by |
| tuntisin ma tuon tulosta, | I'd know him by his coming |
| arvoaisin astunnasta, | recognize him by his step |
| jos ois vielä virstan päässä, | though he were still a mile off |
| tahikka kahen takana. | or two miles away. |
| Utuna ulos menisin, | As mist I'd go out |
| savuna pihalle saisin, | as smoke I would reach the yard |
| kipunoina kiiättäisin, | as sparks I would speed |
| liekkinä lehauttaisin; | as flame I would fly; |
| vierten vierehen menisin, | I'd bowl along beside him |
| supostellen suun etehen. | pout before his face. |
| Tok mie kättä käpseäisin, | I would touch his hand |
| vaikk' ois käärme kämmenellä; | though a snake were in his palm |
| Tok mie suuta suikkajaisin, | I would kiss his mouth |
| vaikk' ois surma suun eessä; | though doom stared him in the face |
| Tok mie kaulahan kapuisin, | I'd climb on his neck |
| vaikk' ois kalma kaulaluilla; | though death were on his neck bones |
| Tok mie vierehen viruisin, | I'd stretch beside him |
| vaikk' ois vierus verta täynnä. | though his side were all bloody. |
| Vaanp' ei ole kullallani, | And yet my treasure has not |
| ei ole suu suen veressä, | his mouth bloody from a wolf |
| käet käärmehen talissa, | his hands greasy from a snake |
| kaula kalman tarttumissa; | nor his neck in death's clutches; |
| Suu on rasvasta sulasta, | His mouth is of melted fat |
| huulet kun hunajameestä, | his lips are as of honey |
| Käet kultaiset, koriat, | his hands golden, fair |
| kaula kun kanarvan varsi. | his neck like a heather stalk. |
