| COME AWAY, MELINDA | MELINDA |
| | |
| "Mommy, mommy, come and look and see what I have found | Äiti, tänne katsomaan nyt juokse kiireesti. |
| A little way away from here while digging in the ground." | Mä löysin jotain kummallista leikkiessäni. |
| "Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the door. | Katsohan, Melinda, on tässä kuvia. |
| It's nothing but a picture book they had before the war." | Ne kertoo meidän maailmasta ennen pommia. |
| | |
| "Mommy, mommy, come and see. Oh, mommy, come and look. | Äiti, katso, kuinka monta lasta yhdessä |
| There's four or five Melinda girls inside this picture book." | ja neljä, viisi tyttöä Melindan näköistä. |
| "Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the door. | Katsohan, Melinda, niin monta kaunista |
| There were lots of little girls like you before they had the war." | sun laistas' lasta leikki silloin ennen pommia. |
| | |
| "Mommy, mommy, come and see. Oh, mommy, hurry do. | Äiti, katso, kuinka yksi tässä kuvassa |
| There's someone grown up and tall who doesn't look like you." | on kasvanut noin pitkäks' eikä sua muistuta. |
| "Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the door. | Katsohan, Melinda, sun isäs, kerron sen, |
| Your father was a man like that before they had the war." | oli silloin ennen pommia tuon miehen kaltainen. |
| | |
| "Mommy, mommy, come and see. Such things I've never seen. | Äiti, katso, kuinka kaikki maa on vihreä |
| There's happy faces all around and all the ground is green." | ja jokaisella ihmisellä kasvot hymyssä |
| "Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the door. | Katsohan, Melinda, niin toisentapaista |
| That's just the way it used to be before they had the war." | oli usein maailmassa silloin ennen pommia. |
| | |
| "Mommy, mommy come and see and tell me if you can, | Äiti, voitko vielä tämän mulle kertoa: |
| Why can't it be the way it was before the war began?" | miks' nyt ei myöskin olla vois' kuin ennen pommia? |
| "Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the door. | Katsohan, Melinda, sen vastauksen, oi, |
| The answer lies in yesterday before they had the war." | vain eilispäivän maailma, jos sekään, antaa voi. |
