Metsästäjä, I Metsästäjä [English translation]
Metsästäjä, I Metsästäjä [English translation]
Horned skull for a crown to Manala1
Skin for a raft from the hut to Tuonela2
Hunter was to chase through his life
In the moon of the wolf or in the golden shimmer
Never mind the light, midwinter as his fire
First conjured the flame
Then took the life
Wanted the animal's head
Head
Has war within
On the Capricorn hunter
Inherited from his father
Orion from his star-sign
The war within
On the Capricorn hunter
And when got his sights on the crowned head
Turned his weapon away
Already defeated, when stepping into the forest
If his path would lead to our home
There the chaser would find to rest
For many of us, a life more intact
But the beast will not be parted from its horns
The hunter won't open about his scars
I wish to hear his voice so I could understand
When the journey will come to an end
Journey to an end
Has war within
On the Capricorn hunter
Inherited from his father
Orion from his star-sign
The war within
On the Capricorn hunter
And when got his sights on the crowned head
Turned his weapon away
Already defeated, when stepping into the forest
Turned away
Falling silent when stepping into the forest
