Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026

Here is a special Christmas postcard for you, the readers of my language blog. The card has a Christmas greeting in Ingrian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Ido. I chose Ido and Ingrian because this blog has published articles discussing these languages ​​. Portuguese and Dutch are included because readers of this blog also visit from Holland and Brazil. You can find English, Spanish, Italian, and German Christmas cards at https://yerosacom.wordpress.com/2025/12/07/free-xmas-cards-2025-in-other-languages-than-english/. Feel free to send the attached card to your friends and relatives. 

Thank you to all who visited here, and I hope to see you again next year. 

If you have time, go listen to the popular Finnish Christmas carol on YouTube, performed in English. I have translated the Finnish words into English. You’ll find the song at https://youtu.be/9U2PAY_hXfE

Omatunto

Conscience

Conscience,
the flame of humanity,
If it goes out,
the darkness of
cockroaches
rules the world.

The Rotten Apples

 The Rotten Apple

 

The Rotten Apples

I am tired of humans.
They are monsters,
Or let’s say,
There are too many
monsters among decent
people, and they,
like a rotten apple,
spoils the whole
fruit basket.
The gas of evil
Toxicities me.

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet; I Have Run out of Mahorka

 

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet.
Pittää männä lafkaa.
Sit ku miä oon tult
lafkast kottii,
miä sytän lampin,
söön kaakkuu
ja joon kohvii.

Ono kumma,
jot lanterna ei puttoo
tuulees allaa
krintsan pinnalle.

Jag har gjort mitt bästa; I Have Done My Best

 
Jag har gjort mitt bästa 

Varför skulle jag frukta döden?
Jag har gjort mitt bästa,
och det har inte varit tillräckligt.

Nu är det min tid att förena mig
med det eviga tomrummet
från det jordiska tomrummet
utan att öppna ögonen.

I Have Done My Best

Why should I fear death? 
I have done my best, 
And it has not been enough. 

Now is my time to unite 
With the eternal voidness   
From the earthly voidness
without opening my eyes.

Entertainer

The sad life is entertaining us.
If it didn't that, we would be
Always deep under the ground.
The real smart things are
More cunning than our need
To fix what is not broken.

Explosion

Too much light
For the dark soul
Makes an explosion.

Those Who are Shouting

Under the new bridges
Is the old story lurking:
Those who are shouting,
Don't hear.

I Can Only Burn the Candle

It's sweet to listen to music in peace
and forget about the outside world.
People often preach that each person
is the master of their own fortune.
Does the African mother
who keeps a hungry child on her lap
believe in this?
It would have been sweet to listen to music
in peace and forget the outside world,
but I can only burn the candle.

Mitt hjärta är i oro; My Heart is Troubled

 

Mitt hjärta är i oro

Mitt hjärta är i oro.
Jag vill gå till skogen
där kan jag vara mig själv,
vara i fred från människors
galenskap.
Människornas lösningar
är obehagliga
och deras öron
är döva.

My Heart is Troubled

My heart is troubled.
I want to go to the forest
where I can be myself,
be at peace from the madness
of people.
People’s solutions
are unpleasant
and their ears
are deaf.

Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo; When Human Grows Old

 Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo

Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo,
silmät vässyyt väsymistä,
käet heikoiks käyvvät.
Meeli alkaa muissois harpata.
Rakkahus kukat valeloo,
pöllyt pyyhkii patrettiloist.
Syän ystävät toivoo
unneen iänikkäisee.

When Human Grows Old

When human grows old,
Eyes grow tired
And hands become weak.
The mind begins to wander back in time.
Love waters the flowers,
Wipes the dust from the photographs.
The heart wishes friends
In eternal sleep.

The Heart

One rose of blood
From cradle to grave
Is a faithful companion.
It beats without command,
Which the brain does not do.
We must teach gray
Thinking cells.

1894 Esperanto Reform Project

 

In 1894, L. L. Zamenhof, who was the original creator of the constructed language Esperanto, proposed a complete series of reforms to Esperanto (in other words, an Esperantido). It is notable as the only complete Esperantido to be authored by Zamenhof himself, and it was presented in response to various reforms that had been proposed by others since the language's publication in 1887. The project was eventually rejected by the language's speakers, and subsequently even by Zamenhof himself. Some of the proposed reforms were used in another constructed language, Ido, beginning in 1907.

Felica Kristnasko

I've created a free Christmas postcard in the Ido language for you.

 

 

Note

Later, I'll upload Christmas cards in English and Finnish to this blog.

Aika inhimimiselle; Time for the Humans

 

Aika inhimiselle

Käyn joen rantaa kera veen.
Koht vesi käyp ilma minnua.
Sellain ono aika inhimiselle.
See ei muuta virran liitsoja.
Neet tuulees läkäjäät
i tyynees sohisevat.

Time for the Humans

I go along the river bank with the water.
Soon, the water flows without me.
That’s the time for the humans.
It does not change the face of the stream.
It gossips in the wind
and whispers in silence.
