Over the roof, the sky is
Erkki Gustaf Melartin
Over the roof, the sky is
So blue, so calm!
Above the roof, a tree
Waves its foliage.
In the sky one can see the bell
Softly ringing.
On the tree one can see a bird
Singing its lament.
My God, my God, life is there,
Simple and tranquil.
This peaceful rumor there
Comes from the town.
What have you done, o you there,
Weeping without end,
Tell me, what have you done, you there,
With your youth?
