Liekkiön isku [English translation]
Liekkiön isku [English translation]
The field burned
The blaze consumed the corn spikes
The fire spirit grabbed
The flare raped the rye stalks
There was a horrific crop failure
A terrible misfortune
A crushing loss
A useless harvest, depressing
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
The black revenge of the smithy-spirit!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
Memory of the evil one!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
The black revenge of the smithy-spirit!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
Memory of the evil one!
I bake my bread from pine bark1.
I tear nutrition from the wood
I suffer from hunger
Waiting for a new sowing
There was a horrific crop failure
A terrible misfortune
A crushing loss
A useless harvest, depressing
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
The black revenge of the smithy-spirit!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
Memory of the evil one!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
The black revenge of the smithy-spirit!
It is the strike of the flame-spirit
Memory of the evil one!
If only the flame wouldn't strike
The bleak smithy-spirit wouldn't strike!
If only the flame wouldn't strike
The evil-one remember!
If only the flame wouldn't strike
The bleak smithy-spirit wouldn't strike!
If only the flame wouldn't strike
The evil-one remember!
1. In the old days Finns would mix pine bark into flour during famines.
