Tähti tähdistä kirkkain [English translation]

It's evening, and nature falls quiet for a moment

The night sky is grey with clouds

Like long ago, I wish I could with a child's mind

Fall into the Christmas reverie

But thoughts of work and the daily rush

Have dimmed the child's sensitivity

I gaze up into the dark winter sky

Hoping to see the Christmas star

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would glow again with the Christmas spirit

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would return from centuries past to lead us once more

As a child I could find it, sensing it with my feelings

And achieve the tender yuletide spirit

Now as an adult, for a fleeting moment

I can still feel its warmth

If only I could rediscover my childlike faith

The Christmas star would still glow

It shines for those who but wish to see it

Lighting up the child's world

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would glow again with the Christmas spirit

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would return from centuries past to lead us once more

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would glow again with the Christmas spirit

I wish the brightest of the stars

Would return from centuries past to lead us once more
