About The Piece | 1. Melancholy |
Text Translation | 1. Melancholy (Ikävyys) What misery, what gloominess my soul surrounding, O friends of mine! I beg of you one final favor, O dig my grave beneath the shadow of my willow Nor would I have upon my grave a mound rising, 2. The Squirrel (Laulu oravasta) Slumber sweetly, little squirrel, in thy moss-lined chamber napping; O, behold the world of yonder from within thy lofty manor, What a happy life in eyrie, cradle-castle gently swinging! Slumber sweet, thou bush-tailed squirrel, at thy tiny open skylight, 3. Song of My Heart (Sydämeni laulu) Grove of Tuoni, grove nocturnal! May my child have pleasant hours May my child have pleasant hours Happy darling in safe keeping, Grove of Tuoni, grove of calmness! |
