En: On May Day, during the time of spring joy and colors, Mika stood on a flower farm. Fi: Hänen ympärillään leijui tuoreen multaan ja kukkien tuoksu. En: Around him wafted the scent of fresh soil and flowers. Fi: Mika katseli rivistöjä värikkäitä kasveja. En: Mika looked at the rows of colorful plants.
