Juokse sinä humma [English translation]

Run my little horse*

For the sky is so dark

And the road is longish.

Of course that girl didn't come with me,

For I'm a wild kind of boy.

refrain:

Hey my little horse, hey my little horse

Huputiti hey my little horse

Run my little horse

For the sky is so dark,

And we're going quietly, just the two of us.

My horse is this boy's only treasure

And nobody has one like it.

refrain

Run my little horse

For the sky is so dark

And the shadows are covering my way.

My song sounds quietly from the road

And my horse tosses its flaxen mane.

refrain

Run my little horse

For the sky is so dark

And there's a bell on the traces.

Oh, my bread is scattered

In such small pieces across the world.**

refrain

Run my little horse

For the sky is so dark

And the wind sighs through the forest.

There's a little cabin in a bend of the road

And the girl with the cherry lips is there.

refrain

Hey my little horse, hey my little horse

Stop, my little horse.
