aarni – 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 tôht-tarhain
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.
