Anna-Mari Kaskinen / Tänään tahdon kiittää
Punerrusta pihlajassa,
Syksy kolkuttaa.
Odotatko vielä hetken.
Portti sulkekaa.
Vielä kesän vehreydestä
en voi luopua,
vielä hetken heleydestä
tahdon juopua.
Kesäni on vielä kesken.
Ethän sitä vie !
Vielä hehkuu tuoksuvana
tuttu metsätie.
Vielä hyppii västäräkki
kotipolulla.
Vielä tahdon kesän elää
joka solulla.
Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.
And to-day the hardened sinner
Never could be late for dinner,
But will jump up to the table
Just as soon as he is able,
Ask for three times hot roast mutton--
Oh! the shocking little glutton.
Come then, find your ball and racket,
Pop into your winter jacket,
With the lovely bear-skin lining.
While the sun is brightly shining,
Let us run and play together
And just love the autumn weather.
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.
And to-day the hardened sinner
Never could be late for dinner,
But will jump up to the table
Just as soon as he is able,
Ask for three times hot roast mutton--
Oh! the shocking little glutton.
Come then, find your ball and racket,
Pop into your winter jacket,
With the lovely bear-skin lining.
While the sun is brightly shining,
Let us run and play together
And just love the autumn weather.
