Petteri Punakuono is the Finnish version of the English Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The Finnish lyrics are as follows:
[edit] Petteri Punakuono
- Muistat Tuhkimon, Lumikin, Ruususen varmaan
- ja Punahilkan ja sudenkin harmaan,
- mutta poro tää sulta usein unhohon jää.
- Petteri Punakuono oli poro nimeltään,
- ollut ei loiste huono Petterimme nenänpään.
- Haukkuivat toiset illoin majakaksi pilkaten.
- Tuosta vain saikin silloin joulupukki aattehen:
- Aattoilta pitkä on, taival valoton.
- Petteri vois nenässään valon tuoda pimeään!
- Petteri siitä asti pulkkaa pukin kiskoen
- johtaa sen riemuisasti luokse lasten kilttien.
[edit] English literal translation
You remember Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding hood, and the grey wolf, but this reindeer is often forgotten.
Peter Rednose was the name of the reindeer. It wasn't a bad glare from the tip of our Peter's nose. At evenings others disparged him mocking as a lighthouse, but from that Santa Claus got an idea. The Christmas Eve night is long, the journey is out of light. Peter with his nose could bring light to the darkness.
From that time on Peter has pulled Santa's sleigh leading it cheerfully to nice children all around.
