Jag Väntar Vid Min Mila

I'm waiting by my milestone as the hours pass by,
As the stars wander and the nights go on.
I'm waiting for a woman from distant roads,
The dearest, the dearest with blue eyes.

I imagined a wandering, fragrant flower
And dreamed of a trembling, teasing laugh,
I thought I saw the most beloved one coming
Through the forest, over the snow-covered fields at night.

Joyfully, I wanted to carry my dreamed one in my arms
Through the thickets to where my hut stands,
And raise a jubilant cry to the dear one.
Welcome, you who have been awaited in lonely years.

I'm waiting by my milestone as the hours pass by,
As the forests sing and the clouds move.
I'm waiting for a wanderer from distant roads -
The dearest, the dearest with blue eyes.
