Lyrics:
Pium paum, kehto heilahtaa,
Ja lapsi viatoinna nukahtaa,
Pium paum, äiti laulaa vain,
Kun sydän käpyänsä tundittaa.
Pium paum, viulu vingahtaa
Ja nuoret karkeloihin kiiruhtaa,
Pium paum, nauti elämää,
Sillain kun se sulle hymyää.
Pium paum, kerran kajahtaa
Tuo kirkon kello sulle ilmoittaa,
Pois, pois henki vaeltaa,
Ja ruumis mullan alle majan saa.
Rough English translation:
Pium paum, the cradle swings,
And the child innocently falls asleep,
Pium paum, mother just sings
And her heart beats with her song.
Pium paum, the violin squeals
And the young people rush to dance,
Pium paum, go enjoy your life,
While it smiles at you.
Pium paum, the day will come
When the church bell will toll for you,
Away, away your spirit will wander,
And your body will find a place under the soil.
