Lyrics
Kulkeissain mä tiellä nähdä sain ne kolme kuningasta maasta vierahasta
Kulkeissain mä tiellä nähdä sain ne kolme kuningasta vieraan maan
He kullan, mirhan ja suitsukkeen toi matkassansa uhrilahjanansa
He kullan, mirhan ja suitsukkeen toi lahjaks Herran äsken syntyneen
Seimen luo nyt astuu vieraat nuo ja uhrilahjat kalliit kaikki sinne kantaa
Seimen luo nyt astuu vieraat nuo ja lahjat lapselle nyt kalliit tuo
Se musta tietäjä mirhan tuo ja ruskea taas suitsuketta antaa
Vaan valkea kruununsa kultaisen nyt laskee eteen lapsen pienoisen
Lyrics translation
As I walked along the road, I saw the Three Kings from the land of a stranger
As I walked along the road to see the three kings of a foreign land
They brought gold, myrrh, and incense in their journey as an offering
They brought gold, myrrh, and incense to the gifts of the Lord just born
The manger is now visited by those and the offerings expensive all carry there
Come to the manger now come to the guests those and gifts to the child now expensive bring
That Black Sage mirhan brings and brown again gives incense
But the golden crown of her white crown now lays before the little child
