Muurari [English translation]

Spring brought, spring brought mason

Spring brought, spring brought painter

Spring brought buildings a hanslankari1

And to beaches a hamppari2

So much have I suffered

Many tears shed

So many have I made love with

But only one truly loved

So many have I made love with

But only one truly loved

In the summer worked the mason

In the summer worked the painter

in the summer worked the hanslankari

And in the beaches Hamppari

Like a knife cutting into my chest

The last look of yours

It was so cold and proud

So cunning and fraudelant

It was so cold and proud

So cunning and fraudelant

Fall took, fall took the mason

Fall took, fall took the painter

Fall took from building the hanslankari

And from beaches the hamppari

Oh, why was I born dark

And not as light

My darling won't love dark

She only loves light

My darling won't love dark

She only loves light

In winter was hungry the mason

In winter was hungry the painter

In winter was hungry the hanslankari

Hamppari got fat in their castle

So much have I suffered

Many tears shed

So many have I made love with

But only one truly loved

So many have I made love with

But only one truly loved
