Giura il nocchier che al mare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN GER
Giura il nocchier che al mare
non presterà più fede,
ma se tranquillo il vede
corre di nuovo al mar.
Di non trattar più l'armi
giura il guerrier tal volta,
ma se una tromba ascolta,
già non si sa frenar.

Perämies kyllä vannoo
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Perämies kyllä vannoo,
ettei enää koskaan luota mereen,
mutta kun hän näkee sen rauhallisena,
hän lähtee merille uudestaan.
Ettei enää koskaan tartu aseisiin,
vannoo sotilas hyvinkin usein,
mutta kun hän kuulee sotatorven kutsun,
ei häntä enää mikään pidättele.
