Maamo (mother) Lyrics

Maamoni mailla

isin pellon pientarill,

kasvoin kukkaseksi,

vartuin vanhemmaks.



Hyv' ol' olla miula,

olla oksall
omenan,

kukkasen kotona

linnun lehossa.



"Milloin mieli
on minulla,

alahalla allilla,

silloin mietin maamoin maita,

taattoin tanterii."



Nyt oon muilla mailla

koti miula
kaukana.

Vieraat on verjt,

ouot olot tl.



Nm ouot
ovet,

vierahat verjt,

tiet tuntemattomat,

murheen mieleen
tuo.



"Milloin mieli on minulla..."



Voi mie poloinen
piika,

kuin olenkin onneton,

miss' ois' hyv miula,

olla
omenan.



On miun poloisen piian,

mieli maille maamoni,

pian palamahan,

taattoin tanterill'.



"Milloin mieli on
minulla..."

 On my mother's lands

By my father's fields

I
grew and blossomed,

Left childhood behind.



Happy I was,

An apple on a branch,

A flower at home

A bird in a grove.



"Whenever I'm feeling

Down at heart,

I remember my
mother's lands

And the fields of my father."



Now I'm in
other lands

Far away from home.

Alien are the acres here

And
strange the ways of the people.



Strange are the doors,

And
foreign the fields,

Untravelled the roads,

I'm down at heart.



"Whenever I'm feeling..."



Woe is me, poor maid,

How unhappy I am,

Where can I be happy,

An apple on a branch?



Woe is me poor maid,

Were I on my mother's lands,

On my
way home once more

To the fields of my father.



"Whenever I'm
feeling...
