Lyrics:

Olin mie kukka kuuskesosna Vilkka viisivuotisena;
Kun mie istuin maa iloitsi,
Kun mie nousin, notkot nousi,
Kun mie astuin, maat aleni,
Kun mie tanssin, taivas kiehu,
Kun mie seisoin, seinät kuulti,
Kun kävin, kämärät läikky.

Translation:

I was six years old flower,
A lively five years old,
As I sat down, the earth was happy,
As I rose up, valleys rose,
As I stepped, the earth rejoiced,
As I danced, the sky boiled,
As I stood, the walls became translucent,
As I walked, the forest floor wiggled.
