Myrrys by Aarni
Myrrys lyrics
[Note: The name Myrrys is a shaman's trance-state, or spirit journey]
��ni tuulen, varjot puiden
Yksin�ni uneksin, haltioissa ylenin
�inen rauha, pilvien like
Lensin yli metsien, keralla pilvien
Sammasta kiipesin kannelle taivaan
Salot siniset, kammiot kultaiset
Juoksimme taivaan niityill� l�pi t�htitarhain
Ikimenneiden ilmoilta, kadonneiden kartanoilta
Varman viisauden tapasin, elon kullan l�ysin
Sammasta laskeuduin kannelta taivaan.
[English translation:]
The voice of the wind, the shadows of trees
Alone I dreamt, in spirit-powers grew;
Nocturnal calm, the movement of clouds
Amongst them I over the forests flew.
I ascended the World Tree to the Dome of the heavens
Blue-hued islands, golden chambers
In the meadows of heaven we ran through the stars;
From the lands of the deceased and tracts of the lost
True wisdom I found, Life's Gold I discovered.
I descended the World Tree from the Dome of the heavens.
