Tuonen viemää [English translation]
Tuonen viemää [English translation]
From what have little boys been made?
Worms, lizards and poisonous mushrooms
Breed from Satan's deep land
Churned in a pothole1, filth
From what have kind girls been made?
Molded from silt, the fountain dries up
From the stones of Hell's wide roads
Wings ripped from angels
Taken by death (x4)
Taken by death
Inseminated in hate
Taken by death
Thanked with a rod
Taken by death
Mined from flesh
Tkaen by death
Wetted in blood
Leather wings, tails, horns
Eyetooths, monster flocks
On top of an unsteady ruumislauta2
Swingplay on the edge of a grave
From them grow men, women
Rabid nightmares
Love ragingly each other
Rise their burden(s) to their children's shoulders
Taken by death (x4)
Taken by death
Inseminated in hate
Taken by death
Thanked with a rod
Taken by death
Mined from flesh
Tkaen by death
Wetted in blood
Boys, daughters, from a rootstock tree
From a missing wheel's rib
It's the best to fish from3 soul's swamp
It's the wisest to humble, wiser to run
Taken by death (x4)
Taken by death
Inseminated in hate
Taken by death
Thanked with a rod
Taken by death
Mined from flesh
Tkaen by death
Wetted in blood
1. The Finnish word for a pothole can be translated literally as "Hiisi's churn". Hiisi is sort of a devilish goblin in the Finnish mythogy.2. Ruumislauta, literally "cadaver board" was sort of a table the corpse was laid before it was put to a coffin, in olden-day Finland. I don't think this was practiced elsewhere.3. his, her ot it's
