Kun Mun Kultani Tulisi/Missing Him by Loituma off their 1998 album Things of Beauty.
"A love song from the Kanteletar published in 1802 already in French, English, German and Dutch. Goethe later made it famous under the name of "Finnisches Lied". In the middle of the 19th century a Swede by the name of C.G. Zetterqvist collected 467 translations of the poem in different languages, but they were never published."
Translation by Susan Sinisalo.
