Myrrys Lyrics



[Note: The name Myrrys is a shaman's trance-state, or spirit journey]



Ôôni tuulen, varjot puiden

Yksinôni uneksin, haltioissa ylenin

Æinen rauha, pilvien like

Lensin yli metsien, keralla pilvien



Sammasta kiipesin kannelle taivaan



Salot siniset, kammiot kultaiset

Juoksimme taivaan niityillô lôpi tôhtitarhain

Ikimenneiden ilmoilta, kadonneiden kartanoilta

Varman viisauden tapasin, elon kullan l³ysin



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.
