(translation from Sami)
I want to give you a gift,
Life hand it over to love
and kiss the cheeks
of brothers and sisters
those who did not have the strength
who lost faith in the Kingdom,
the Authority, and Righteousness
in man in tomorrow
and one more wish,
Life fly far
give life to the people
who no longer are
and those who shall soon disappear
yes, and one single thing, Life
I wish those who see light and beauty
who know man and love
who await dawn
and believe in it
that joy makes its nest
and beauty
that happiness
fills the nest and love.
