Tuule hiljaa, varpaillaanTuule kun jo sarastaaOdotan ja vaikenenKatseesi haikeuteen
Joka hetki pakeneeJoka hetki pois valoa vie
(chorus)Tulen kaipaamaan sinuaTunsit varjoisat veetIlman valoasi katoanVajoan pyörteeseen
Annan tuulen sammuttaaLiekin jäähdyttääSitä valvoin vartoenValoa palvoen
(chorus)
Niin kauan sain odottaaAinoan lehteni pudottaaJoin janooni kuolemaaViimeiseen pisaraan haikeaan
(chorus)
Blow slowly/quietly, on your toes [as in "wind blows"]Blow when the dawn already breaksI wait and fall silentTo the sadness of your gaze ["sadness" as in very melancholic, perhaps longing with a hint of despair]watc
Every moment fleesEvery moment takes (a part of) the light away
(chorus)I will miss youYou knew the shadowy watersWithout your light I disappear/vanishFounder/sink in a whirlpool
I let the wind put out,To cool the flameI watched it waiting, ["watch" as in keep an eye on]Worshipping the light
(chorus)
So long I got/had to wait [can be translated as either one]To drop my only leafI drank death to my thirstTo the last sad drop [again sad as in melancholic, just as above]
(chorus)
