Katselen yli hiljaisen lammen
Kuunnellen, pinta tyyni on veen
Äänetön tuuli kaisloissa kulkee
Sille kuiskailen
Vastarannalle usva on noussut
Hahmot varjoisat jää taakse sen
Koskelon kutsun lammelta kuulen
Luokseen rohkaisten
Nyt haaveissain mä laineilla tietäin teen
Niin kaipaan vaan mä nyt yli tumman veen
Hiljaa laulaen teen minä purren
Saan sen rungosta puun kaatuneen
Pajunoksista airon mä solmin
Veteen lasken sen
Lipuen lammen laineet mut kantaa
Airo pyörteissä välkkyvän veen
Pohjassaan lammen haltia tumma
Uinuu rauhassaan
Nyt hiljaisilla laineilla tietäin teen
Niin kaipaan vaan mä nyt yli tumman veen
Nyt hiljaisilla laineilla tietäin teen
Niin kaipaan vaan mä nyt yli tummien aaltojen
Ja pohjassa lammen sen
Monet kultaiset aarteet pudonneet
Suojassa vesiheinän juurien
Nyt hiljaisilla laineilla tietäin teen
Niin kaipaan vaan mä nyt yli tumman veen
Läpi usvien mä laineilla tietäin teen
Niin kaipaan vaan mä nyt yli tumman veen

'Over Dark Water' (M. Enho)
Watching over the silent pond
Listening, the water is so calm
I'm whispering to the silent wind
That flows in the reeds
A mist has risen to the other shore
Covering its shadows and silhouettes
A shout of a merganser
Is calling me to come
Now I'm dreaming to sail
On the waves
I'm longing to get
Over dark water
With a quiet chant I build a barque
Of a trunk of a fallen tree
I tie an oar out of willow twigs
And soak it into the water
My barque glides calmly on the pond
The oar playing in shining water whirls
At the bottom of the pond
Lies its dark sprite in peaceful rest
Now I'm sailing
On silent waves
I'm longing to get
Over dark water
Now I'm sailing
On silent waves
I'm longing to get
Over the dark waves
And at the bottom of the pond
Many golden treasures that got lost
Covered by the roots of water weeds
Now I'm sailing
On silent waves
I'm longing to get
Over dark water
Through the mists
I'm sailing on the waves
I'm longing to get
Over dark water
