Sorry that I'm returning once again to Chisu but this song is so beautiful that I just have to translate it! X3

This is called Yksinäisen keijun tarina ["The Story of Lonely Fairy"] It's almost like children's song, although not childish at all, and pretty touching.

Spoiler:

Yksinäisen keijun tarina - The Story of Lonely Fairy


Siipiinsä keijupölyä hän hieroi aamuisin
She rubbed fairydust in her wings in the mornings
Että vastatuulessakin lentää jaksaisi
So she could fly even when it was foul wind
Kovat oli ajat hällä takana,
She was experiencing some hardships in the past
Mut' kuka uskois et' on olemassa surullisia keijuja?
But who do believe there would be such thing as lonely fairies?

Pää painoksissa mainitsi hän kerran murheistaan
Her head bowed down, she once told about the sorrows of hers
Fauni hymähti, ei ottanut tosissaan
Faun just hemmed, didn't take her seriously
Kuinka muka siivekäs niin maassa olla vois?
How could such winged being be sorrowful?
Vakavasti otti vasta kun tuo pieni keiju nukkui pois
Only then did Faun understood when that little fairy falled into eternal sleep

On paratiisi täällä meillä päin
This place among us is Paradise
Vaan ei aina kaikki koe sitä näin
Though all do not feel that way
Sillä faunin, peikon, keijunkin
Because a Faun, a troll or even a fairy
Suru joskus kiinni saa ja vie mukanaan.
Can the being named "Sorrow" reach and take away

Yksinäisen keijun tarina kosketti kaikkia
The Story of Lonely Fairy touched every single being
Peikot lohdutteli keijuja, haltijat fauneja
Trolls comforted fairies and elfs Fauns
Kaikkialla huokausten kera toistettiin
In every single place was repeated with a sigh:
Miksi se yhden hengen vaati, ennen kuin me muistettiin
"Why it had to took one life away until we remembered?"

Ois paratiisi meillä täällä näin
This place among us would be Paradise
Jos elettäisiin aina lähekkäin
If we could always live side by side
Ja vaikka faunin, peikon, keijunkin
And though Faun, a troll or even a fairy
Suru silloin kiinni saa se ei vie
The being named "Sorrow" will reach, it doesn't...

Ois paratiisi meillä täällä näin
This place among us would be Paradise
Jos elettäisiin aina lähekkäin
If we could always live side by side
Ja vaikka faunin, peikon, keijunkin
And though Faun, a troll or even a fairy
Suru silloin kiinni saa se ei vie mukanaan
The being named "Sorrow" will reach, it doesn't take them away

Wow, this is really... really good.

I'm introducing you another New-Zealand songs, this time the band

and singer, who also sang a a theme song for Lord of the Rings. I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but her voice is relaxing to listen to.
