Non-PRO Finnish to English Other Poetry & Literature
kautta erämaajárven, matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen, näkee lammella joutsenparven, vapauttaan itkevän. Kaippu menneissyydden, kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien, ikijärvelta turvaltulta käy, matkaa vuorten taa

someone send me this in finnish, no idea what it means. probably contains bad grammar and sentence building.

Sounds like a poem of some sort, unusual spelling may partly reflect a particular dialect of Finnish: The lone wanderer travels by the lake in the wilderness, sees a flock of swans on the water crying for its freedom. Longing for the past circles in the air as the cry of eagles, flows from the safe eternal lake, travels beyond the mountains
