Maamo Mother lyrics

Maamoni mailla
isin pellon pientarill,
kasvoin kukkaseksi,
vartuin vanhemmaks.

Hyv` ol` olla miula,
olla oksall omenan,
kukkasen kotona
linnun lehossa.

`Milloin mieli on minulla,
alahalla allilla,
silloin mietin maamoin maita,
taattoin tanterii.`

Nyt oon muilla mailla
koti miula kaukana.
Vieraat on verjt,
ouot olot tl.

Nm ouot ovet,
vierahat verjt,
tiet tuntemattomat,
murheen mieleen tuo.

`Milloin mieli on minulla...`

Voi mie poloinen piika,
kuin olenkin onneton,
miss` ois` hyv miula,
olla omenan.

On miun poloisen piian,
mieli maille maamoni,
pian palamahan,
taattoin tanterill`.

`Milloin mieli on minulla...`
On my mother`s lands
By my father`s fields
I grew and blossomed,
Left childhood behind.

Happy I was,
An apple on a branch,
A flower at home
A bird in a grove.

`Whenever I`m feeling
Down at heart,
I remember my mother`s lands
And the fields of my father.`

Now I`m in other lands
Far away from home.
Alien are the acres here
And strange the ways of the people.

Strange are the doors,
And foreign the fields,
Untravelled the roads,
I`m down at heart.

`Whenever I`m feeling...`

Woe is me, poor maid,
How unhappy I am,
Where can I be happy,
An apple on a branch?

Woe is me poor maid,
Were I on my mother`s lands,
On my way home once more
To the fields of my father.

`Whenever I`m feeling...
