Kun Mun Kultani Tulisi (Finnish Traditional)
Kun mun kultani tulisi,
armahani asteleisi,
tuntisin ma tuon tulosta,
arvoaisin astunnasta
Arvoaisin astunnasta,
jos ois vielä virstan päässä
jos ois vielä virstan päässä
tahikka kahen takana.
Utuna ulos menisin,
savuna pihalle saisin,
savuna pihalle saisin
kipunoina kiiättäisin
Kipunoina kiiättäisin
Liekkinä lehauttaisin;
vierren vierehen menisin,
supostellen suun etehen
.
Tok' mie kättä käppäjäisin,
vaikk'ois käärme kämmenellä;
tok' mie suuta suikkajaisin
vaikk' ois surma suun edessä
Tok' mie kaulahln kapuisin
vaikk' ois kalma kaulaluilla
tok' mie vierehen viruisin
vaikk' ois vierus verta täynnä.
Vaanp' ei ole kullallani,
ei ole suu suen veressä
käet käärmehen talissa
kaula kalman tarttumissa
suu on rasvasta sulasta
huulet kuin hunajameestä
huulet kuin hunajameestä
käet kultaiset, koriat
käet kultaiset, koriat
kaula kuin kanervan varsi.

Hulla Muka Do Hoo Rova Hay
Oh Rick O Dack O Dandee
When will someone come to me
Will he come by land or sea
Will he my own lover be
Oh tell me truly well
Wheel of fate what ist you say?
This year O next year Or nev' a day
When will a woo'er come my way
Oh tell me truly well
Be he dark or be he fair
Shy or bold or debonair
Ribbons braw will deck my hair
To meet and greet my true love.

Twa Corbies - Traditional
As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'
'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there,
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.
'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady's ta'en another mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet.
'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they are bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

Will ye gang tae the highlands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will ye gang tae the highlands wi' me
Will ye gang tae the highlands, Leezie Lindsay
My bride and my darling tae be.
Tae gang tae the heilands wi' you sir,
Would bring the saut tear tae my e'e
Aye at leaving the green glens and woodlands
And streams o' my ain country.
I'll show you the red deer a-roamin',
On mountains where waves the tall pine
And as far as the bound of the red deer,
Ilk moorland and mountain is mine
A thousand claymores I can muster,
Ilk blade and its bearer the same
And when round their cheiftain they rally,
The gallant McDonald's is my name.
There's dancing and joy in the heilands,
There's piping and gladness and glee.
For McDonald has brought hame Leezie Lindsay,
His bride and his darlin' to be.

See those Calanais stones
The rain trickles down their grain
and they are happy
See those Calanais stones
The cold wind wraps around
There's snow on the ground
Yet they are happy, just to breathe
Feel those Calanais stones
and the stillness above
They show me love
They are happy, just to breathe
I want to be those stones
and never have to leave
Never have to grieve
I'll be happy, just to breathe
When moments move, and I am anxious in my heart
They'll give to me, all their love
They say 'learn from me' I hear them whisper on the wind
They say, 'learn from me, just breathe.'
See that Northern sky
See its gentle light
Iy opened up my eyes
What a brilliant sight
Fell that North Atlantic sea
See down into its deep
I see it rise and fall
As it breathes with me.
All those castles so strong
Their place in time has gone
But their spirit lingers on
They are happy, just to breathe
Hear that mountain calling me
It reaches to the sky
Lifts me up so high
So I can breathe
Just breathe, just breathe
Breathe, just breathe -
