Jos sä olet minun hellunani (If You Would Be My Sweetheart)

1. Jos sä olet minun hellunani
tämän kesän, kesän, kesän, kesän
Niin minä laitan sulle, niin minä laitan sulle
niin kuin linnulle pesän, pesän, pesän, pesän, pesän

If You were to be my sweetheart this summer, I would make You a home that is like a bird’s nest

2. Jos sä olet minun hellunani
tämän syksyn, syksyn, syksyn, syksyn
Niin minä laitan sulle, niin minä laitan sulle
vaikka silkistä lapsen myssyn, myssyn, myssyn, myssyn

If You were to be my sweetheart this autumn, I would give You cap of silk that is like the caps one knits to a baby child

3. Jos sä olet minun hellunani
tämän talven, talven, talven, talven
Niin minä laitan sulle, niin minä laitan sulle
vaikka hopiasta lapsen sarven, sarven, sarven, sarven

If You were to be my sweetheart this winter, I would give You a baby drinking horn, why not of silver

Jouhikko is made by Rauno Nieminen, horse hair strings. The tuning is C#4, G#3, D#4.
