Travuska - Vrttin

Niink luulit neito nuori,

niink tiesit, jotta luulit.

Luulit yksi lhtevsi,

ky pivksi kkesit.



Oi Travuska Travuska

trava selonoi.



Lksit toisehen talohon,

toisen talon tanterille.



Oi Travuska...



Oi sisoini, sirkkueini,

neitosista nuorimmainen.

Etp yksi lhtenynn,

etp yksi, et kaheksi.

Lksit kaikeksi ijksi,

kuuksi pivksi katosit.



Muista maamo kantajaisi,

is armas auttajaisi.

Muista ahot armahimmat,

ken kukunnat kesll.



Oi Travuska...



Itke itke meijn neito,

itke itkusi ovilla.

Jt nuoruus nurkkiloihin,

neitoaikasi unoha.



Oi Travuska...



Oi, sisoini, sirkkueini,

neitosista nuorimmainen.

Huomen tuopi huivin phn,

vaimon viitan hartehille.

Huomen tuopi huivin phn,

vaimon viitan hartehille.



Oi Travuska...

That's what you thought, young maiden,

You thought you knew what you were doing.

You thought you would steal away for one night,

Spend a day away from home.



Oh Travuska Travuska

trava selonoi.



You went away to another's home,

To strange fields and forests.



Oh Travuska...



Oh little sister, little cousin,

Youngest of the maidens fair.

It wasn't one night you were away,

Not one or even two.

For you went away for ever more,

For days and months on end.



Spare a thought for the mother who bore you,

The father who nurtured you.

Spare a thought for the meadows of old,

The flowers, and the call of the cuckoo.



Oh Travuska...



Weep, weep, oh maiden mine,

Shed your tears at the threshold.

Leave your youth behind in the corner,

Forget your carefree life.



Oh Travuska...



Oh
