En: At the midsummer celebration, Senaatintori was at its most beautiful. Fi: Torilla ihmiset tanssivat ja nauttivat musiikista, ympärillä kukkivat värikkäät kukat. En: In the square, people danced and enjoyed the music, surrounded by vibrant flowers. Fi: Kesän ilo ja keveys tuntuivat kaikkialla, mutta kaiken keskellä jännitys Aino ja Viljo välillä kasvoi.
