To celebrate the 94th Indepedence Day of Finland, I would like to present this beautiful interlude of the band
Nightwish. [I'm sure quite many of you know the band?]
This is from their newest album
Imaginareum.
The cover of the album:
Taikatalvi [
Magic Winter makes reference to Finnish tittle of the Moomin novel Moominland in Midwinter]
Lyrics
Lapsistain rakkain tää näyttämö on
From all of the children of mine, this stage is my beloved one
Mis kuutamo kujillaan kulkee
Wherein moonlight crosses its alleyways
Taipunut havu, kesä hoivassa sen
the twig of coniferous tree has bended in the tender care of summer
Valkomeren niin aavan
O' the white sea so vast it is
Joka aavekuun siivin
It reaches me like a ghostly moon with wings
Saapuu mut kotiin noutamaan
And has come to take me home
Päällä talvisen maan hetki kuin ikuisuus
In here wintery land, one moment is like eternity
Mi pienen kissan jaloin luokseni hiipii
Which tiptoes to me like a little kitten's paws
Tääl tarinain lähteellä asua saan mis
In here, where the spring of stories are, I can live
Viulu valtavan kaihon
The violion of great longing
Ikisäveltään maalaa
Paints its melody of eternity
Laulullaan herättää maan
And brings the land back to life with its singing
The lyrics are really poetry-like so sadly, I couldn't bring the whole beauty of it through this translation~ But I tried to ^_^
Hope you'll enjoy it!
