Translation of the song Kylän kävijä artist Värttinä

Finnish

Kylän kävijä

English translation

Visitor

Kuljin kujia katselin taloja talon tapoja

I wandered down alleys, watching houses with their strange customs

astuin tupahan täytehen talohon vierahaseen

I stepped in to visit, in a house full of strangers

Vaan tunnen tuvan miest en tunne tuota

I don't know the master of the house

en talon tapoja mailla vierahil ouoilla ovilla

Or the house's ways, here in foreign lands at strange doors

Outo olen minäkin tiloilla ouoilla

Strange am I too, in strange places

vieras mailla vierahil vierahilla

A guest, visiting in foreign lands

Outona olen tuvissa ovissa outona

Strange I am, an oddity in the doorways of unfamiliar houses

vieras mailla vierahil kun kuljen

A strange traveler, visiting in unknown lands

Noita en tulle tuntemahan talon tapoja

I may never know the ways of this place

pois ovat paenneet kauaksi kaonneet tuttavani

Far away have fled, into the distance vanished, the people I know

Noita en tulle tuntemahan talon tapoja

I may never know the ways of this place

pois ovat paenneet kauaksi kaonneet tuttavani

Far away have fled, into the distance vanished, the people I know

Vaan tunnen tuvan miest en tunne tuota

I don't know the master of the house

en talon tapoja mailla vierahil ouoilla ovilla

Or the house's ways, here in foreign lands at strange doors

Outo olen minäkin tiloilla ouoilla

Strange am I too, in strange places

vieras mailla vierahil vierahilla

A guest, visiting in foreign lands

Outona olen tuvissa ovissa outona

Strange I am, an oddity in the doorways of unfamiliar houses

vieras mailla vierahil kun kuljen

A strange traveler, visiting in unknown lands

Missä kumma viivyit missä vietit kesän

Where were you tarry, where did you spend the summer?

mikä lietkin miehiäsi kylän kävijä

What manner of man are you, visitor?

Vaan tunnen tuvan miest en tunne tuota

I don't know the master of the house

en talon tapoja mailla vierahil ouoilla ovilla

Or the house's ways, here in foreign lands at strange doors

Outo olen minäkin tiloilla ouoilla

Strange am I too, in strange places

vieras mailla vierahil vierahilla

A guest, visiting in foreign lands

Outona olen tuvissa ovissa outona

Strange I am, an oddity in the doorways of unfamiliar houses

vieras mailla vierahil kun kuljen

A strange traveler, visiting in unknown lands

Outo olen minäkin…

Strange am I too...
