Kuu kiurusta kesään, puoli kuuta peipposesta, västäräkistä vähäsen, pääskysestä ei päivääkään.
A month from a skylark until summer half a moon from a chaffinch, a little from a white wagtail, not a day from a swallow.
An old Finnish rhyme for predicting the start of summer based on the arrival of migratory birds.

Somehow title they chose for Lunatic Sorcerer in Finnish sub sounds less like "mad wizard" and more like "deranged stage magician"

In Finland we don't say "to be held in one's arms". We say "to be in one's armpit" and I think that's kinda gross.
