Tumala Lyrics
Olis mulla poika sulle
Hiukan sanomista
Sen mie kuiskin kahen kesken
Jos se on mahollista
Tokkopa tohit miule tulla
Talonpitjksi
Pienen mkin iloksi
Ja karjanhoitajaksi
"Tumala, tumala, tumala ko kolena
Tumala, tumala kolena."
Hiukan se mkki ahdas lie
Ja tiekin on pitknlainen
Silti se meijt yhteen vie
Vaikk onkin vajavainen
Tumala....
En oo koskaan rouvastellu
Lankkisaappahissa
Vaan tallustelu virsuissa, ja
Sarkavaattehissa
En oo ptin kammannu
En liikoja silitelly
En oo liioin muita poikii
Viereen vikitelly
Tumala....
Mull on lehmt nutipit
Sarvekas on mulli
Lv tysi lampaita, ja
Pssin nimi Julli
Sika sek porsaita
Ja pari vasikoita
Eik syki sydmesi
Aatellessa noita?
Tumala...
Jollet s usko sanojain
Ja sydnts et anna
Itsepp sitten mullit sytn
El huolta kanna
Tumala....
Come here boy and listen to me
There's something I want to tell you
I'll whisper it when we're alone
If only you will let me
How about if you came to me
To be master of the household
Bringing joy to my little cottage
And looking after the cattle?
Tumala, tumala, tumala ko kolena
Tumala, tumala kolena
The cottage may be a little small
And the road is long and weary
It will nevertheless bring us together again
Poor though I am and lowly
Tumala....
You'll never catch me preening myself
In brigthly polished boots
For I go my way in birch-bark slippers
And clothes of simple cloth
You'll never catch me combing my hair
And seldom find me stroking it,-aca
