Translation
A Lantern
A curled up cat
On a firewood box
A comforting warmth
Is coming from the stove
Water to the sauna,
I carry firewood to the corner
I let the longing sneak quietly
I lit a lantern when it gets dark
I lift it to a hook on the porch
Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark
And maybe it leads you to the path
I lit a lantern when it gets dark
I lift it to a hook on the porch
Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark
And maybe it leads you to the path
To home1
I press my face
To an old scarf
I close my eyes
When I recognize the scent
The work has been done
I stay up by the flame
Very soon everything will be in place
I lit a lantern when it gets dark
I lift it to a hook on the porch
Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark
And maybe it leads you to the path
I lit a lantern when it gets dark
I lift it to a hook on the porch
Maybe the light can be seen far in the dark
And maybe it leads you to the path
To home
- 1. 'Perille' isn't literally 'to home' but rather 'to the destination', whatever it may be.
