Tenhi: Kertomuksia Lyrics

NA¤kki laulaa lauluaan
luokseen sA¤velet houkuttavat
kylmA¤A¤n jA¤rveen nukkumaan
ihmislasta tuudittaa

Kauas sA¤velet kantautuvat
kohti kylmA¤A¤ kuolemaa
jA¤rven selA¤lle tanssimaan
lumoutuneena vaeltaa

[English translation:]

[The Chant Of NA¤kki]

NA¤kki chants a song
its tunes fill the air
shivers of chillness
cradle a human child

Fading to trance
on a starlit lake
enchantment
of stony loneliness

Laulaa metsA¤
kesA¤illan hA¤mA¤rA¤ssA¤
sA¤velet soivat
kuolevasta joutsenesta
peittA¤A¤ laulun
hongan humu
pois kA¤tkee yA¶n utu
syntyy sA¤velet tuulesta
tuoksuista havumaan

Havuisissa saleissa
illan hA¤mA¤rtyessA¤
tenhi taivaltaa
kaukaa kantautuu
laulu yA¶n lintujen
hiljaisissa saleissa
illan hA¤mA¤rA¤ssA¤
havumaa

KerA¤A¤ havut
kerA¤A¤ kA¤vyt
poimii sienet
marjat mA¤ttA¤A¤n

[English translation:]

[In The Halls Of Forest]

Forests choirs
in the summer's dim
the tune is set
of the dying swan
the song is hidden
by pine's rumble
and night's vapour
tunes from wind
from the smell of trees

In the halls of the forest
in the dim of evening
the seer strays
in the distance
nightbirds yell
in the silent halls
in the dim
of the night

Cones
pines
mushrooms
are harvested
