Translation of the song Uni artist Korpiklaani

Uni ulkona kysyvi,

The dream outside is asking

joko lapsi vuotehessa,

whether the child is in bed yet,

pieni peittojen sisässä.

whether he's wrapped in the blankets.

On jo lapsi vuotehessa,

The child is already in bed.

pieni peittojen sisässä,

He is lying in the blankets,

muttei painu silmät hällä.

but he cannot fall asleep.

Uni ulkoa kuleksi,

Dream, travel to him from outside.

kudo lapsen kulmat kiinni,

Weave up the the eyelids of the child.

kudo kultarihmasella.

Weave them with your golden yarn.

Uni saavu uunin päältä,

Dream, appear from above the oven.

ammu lasta silmän päälle

Shoot the child on the eyelids.

unisella nuolellasi.

Shoot him with your drowsy arrow.

Tule Tuonelan tuvilta,

Come from the huts of the Underworld.

nävttäjäksi hiljaseksi.

Come as a silent guide.

Älä lapsonen murehdi,

Dont you worry, little child.

anna huolet Huolijalle,

Leave cares to the one who cares,

murehet Murehtiialle,

worries to the one who worries,

anna tiedot Tietäjälle,

knowledge to the one who knows.

ei tule Uni pihalta

Sleep does not come from outside

huolellisen huonehesen.

in the room of the cautious one.

Uni uuhella ajele,

Dream, mount a ewe and ride.

lauhkealla lampahalla,

Dream, travel by a calm sheep.

hersilmällä hevolla,

Let a blue-eyed horse carry you.

saata unten matkamaille,

Show him the way to the dreamland.

tuo Näkymätön uneksi.

Bring the Invisible a dream.

Uni saavu ulkosalta,

Dream, appear now from outside.

tule alta ikkunoiden,

Come through under the windows.

sido lapsen silmät kiinni

Bind up the eyelids of the child.

sitehellä silkkisellä.

Bind them with your silken bond.

Sitten painui pienet silmät,

Then the little one fell sleep.

kultarihma silmän päällä.

The golden yarn calmed his eyes.
