Päivänsäde ja menninkäinen [English translation]

When the Sun ended its journey

The Ray of Light was left behind of her sisters for a moment

The dust was creeping in

The Ray of Light, with her golden wings

Was about to fly away from its path

When she saw a small goblin walking her way

He'd just emerged from his cave

Because, you know, goblins cannot be above the ground before sunset

They looked at each other

The goblin felt an odd flame in his heart

He said: "You burn my eyes

But I've never seen anything so lovely!

I don't mind if your glow makes me blind

I travel in darkness with ease

Stay with me, and I'll show you the way to my cave

And make you my own!"

The Ray answered: "My dear goblin

Darkness kills me

And I don't wish for death

I must leave immediately

If I don't fly into the light soon

I'll live no more!"

So, the beautiful Ray of Light left

But still, when the goblin wanders on his own

He wonders why one is the child of light

And one loves the night
