finnish medley

Singer:ensiferum

jo karjalan kunnailla lehtii puu

jo karjalan koivikot tuuhettuu. kaki kukkuu siella ja kevat on

vie sinne mun kaihoni pohjaton. ma tunnen vaaras' ja vuoristovyos'

ja kaskies' sauhut ja uinuvat yos'

ja synkkain metsies' aarniopuut

ja siintavat salmes' ja vuonojen suut. siell' usein matkani maaratoin

lapi metsien kulki ja nareikkoin

mina seisoin vaaroilla paljain pain

missa karjalan kauniin eessain nain. terve

metsa

terve

vuori

terve

metsan ruhtinas!

tas on poikas uljas

nuori;

esiin kay han

voimaa tays

kuin tuima tunturin tuuli. metsan poika tahdon olla

sankar jylhan kuusiston

tapiolan vainiolla

karhun kanssa painii lyon

ja maailma unholaan jaakoon. ihana on taalla rauha

urhea on taistelo: myrsky kay ja metsa pauhaa

tulta iskee pitkainen

ja kuusi ryskyen kaatuu. the tree is blooming on the fields of karelia

the karelian birches are getting thicker

your cockoo is cockooing and it is spring

take my endless yearning there. i feel your danger and your' mountain range. and the smoke of your burnt land and your sleeping nights

and the primeval trees of your forest

and your looming inlets and the mounths of the fjords. my journey is oft there without a goal

through forests went

bushes

i stood with a bare head on the hills

where i saw the beautiful karelia ahead of me

hello

forest

hello

mountain

hello

the prince of the forest

here is a noble boy

young

he comes forward

full of power

as the severe wind of the field

i want to be a son of the forest

hero of the gloomy spruce copse

on the fields of tapiola

i wrestle with the bear

and the world shall be forgotten

the peace is here wonderful

brave is the fighting

storm is coming and forest thunders

the fire strikes long

and a spruce falls down loudly
