Lyrics and music: Tellu Turkka (1969)
I had the wind to give me comfort, had the breeze to soothe my sorrow.
Where the wind was, there was comfort, where the breeze was, there was solace. The sun, when rising, softly stroked me, the lady moon would braid my hairplaits.
Trust in what your heart will tell you, trust in what your nature answers.
Walk as a wolf the gloomy woodlands, as a bear the frightful marshes.
Firmly walk the way you have chosen without bending when the winds blow.
When you lose the way you are walking, when you do not know how to travel, trust the time to give you answer, sunlight show your destination.
That was once what helped your mother, and her mother long before that.
