Emoni oven etehen
veittoni verjlle
kasvoi tammi terhehinen
pitk pihlaja yleni
Haroitteli haarojansa
levitteli lehtin,
haaroitteli haarojansa,
levitteli lehtin
Kenp tammen tuntijaksi,
puun pitkn pitjksi
Kenp tammen tuntijaksi,
puun pitkn pitjksi
"Ei olt huolta ollenkana,
ajatusta ainutta
Seist seinn vieruessa,
tuulta kuulla kujasessa"
Tuulis tuuli vierellinen,
lasettaisi latvahan
Sanan veisi, toisen toisi,
oksallensa omenan
Toisi linnun lentvisen,
onnen tielle oikialle
Portin plle liekkumahan,
toet viestit vieremn
Ei olt huolta
Pivn poika valkiane
otti tuon tehksens
Tammen tuli tuntijaksi,
puun pitkn pitjksi
Laati linnut laulamahan,
ket kultaa kukkumaan
Pivn poika valkiane,
lemmen loihti latvahan
Ei olt' huolta
By my mother's door,
Beside her gate
There grew an oak with acorns
High above the rowan
It stretched its shoulders wide,
Spreading its leaves around,
It stretched its shoulders wide,
Spreading its leaves around,
Who knows what the oak is thinking,
Standing there so tall
Who knows what the oak is thinking,
Standing there so tall
"Not a care have I in the world,
Not a thought in my head
Just standing here against the wall,
Listening to the breezes"
The wind whistled through the branches,
Setting the tip in turmoil,
Words bringing and bearing away,
An apple on its branches
Brought a little bird flying,
On the road to happiness,
Sitting on the gate chirping,
Singing its message far and wide
"Not a care "
Came the dawn,
