Words

Taivas on sininen ja valkoinen ja tähtösiä täynnä
Niin on nuori sydämeni ajatuksiä täynnä

Enkä mä muille ilmoita mun sydänsurujani
Synkkä metsä, kirkas taivas, ne tuntee mun huoliani

Translation

The sky is blue and white, and full of stars.
So too, my young heart is full of thoughts.

I will never show anyone the pain and sorrow in my heart;
Only gloomy woods and the bright sky know my worries.
