|
Sorrow is my bread |
|
And tears |
|
I drink as wine |
|
Oblivion my happiness |
|
Ground under teeth of time |
|
For cold be the stone |
|
When frost ve devoured the land |
|
Consolation is no gift |
|
Of winter's icy hand |
|
Chorus: Upon a crust of snow |
|
I'll lay my broken frame |
|
What steel and iron won't take |
|
I'll give in winter's name |
|
No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave |
|
No groom for brides of plaited hair |
|
This man old and lame |
|
If only I could breathe |
|
To see the sun of may but still longer are the nigths than days |
|
As I wither away |
|
Came the man of crown |
|
With sound of war drums beat |
|
Said no sword arm's strong enough |
|
Without my two good feet |
|
Chorus But not overlooked am |
|
I In eyes of the maid |
|
I'll wed I'll reap the crops of |
|
Tuonela My bride's wealth in death |
