Magnolia

Don, Forcynthia
Magnolia, mu lieđđeloddi
Sevdnjes čavčča čáhppesmuorji
Kabala- ja pusselvuoiti
Don leat báhcán muitui
Don leat čohkkedan ja čohkkát ain
Go čohkkán mun dás lávlunbeaŋkkas
Jurddašalan, lávllodalan

Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ...
 
Gaibagahpir oaivvis
Čuvge nu, nu vielgat lea dat
Ráinnas dego ođđa shiny
Skuovva sevdnjes diskotehkas
Dat lea báhcán muitui
Dat lea darvánan ja bissu ain
Go čohkkán mun dás lávlunbeaŋkkas
Jurddašalan, lávllodalan

Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ... 

Dutnje, Forcynthia
Šuokŋa dihttui fáhkkesta
Bođii go mun vurden du
Ja váccašin dá luotta mielde

Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ...

Magnolia, translated by Julie Whitehorn and Ville Söderbaum

​You, Forcynthia
Magnolia, my flower bird
Crowberry of dark fall
Kabbalah and puzzle winner
You have stayed in my memory
You sat here and you still sit
When I sit here on my singing bench
Thinking, singing

Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ...
 
The beanie that you’re wearing
Is shining so, it’s so white
Clean as a new shiny
Shoe in a dark discotheque
It stays in my memory
It appears and is still here
Where I sit on my singing bench
Thinking, singing
 
Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ...

For you, Forcynthia
The melody arrived suddenly
It came when I waited for you
And walked along this road

Na-na-na-ni-na-ni-nanna ...
