Black Winter Day - 95 |
1. Black Winter Day This is how the lucky feel How the blessed think Like daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning But how do I feel In my gloomy depths? Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day No, darker than that Gloomier than an autumn night2. Folk of the North (instrumental) 3. Moon and Sun Where has the sun gone from us Where is the moon lost to us The moon will not gleam at all Nor will the sun shine at all Death opens it's mouth The son of the Northlander Came to look, to listen "There beyond the river is hero walking" He took one one step and took another To the north's shore he hurred He drew his sword, wrenched the iron Snatched from the sheath the harsh one Upon whose point the moon shone Upon whose hilt the sun flashed Upon whose back a horse stands He uttered a word, spoke thus, "There the sun has gone from you The sun gone and the moon lost" 4. Moon and Sun part II Go, look at the moon And inspect the sun How they are in the sky Right in their old places Hail, moon, for gleeming Fair one for showing your face Dear sun for dawning And daylight for coming up! Dear moon, you're out from the rock Fair day from the cliff You've risen as a golden cuckoo As a silver done Up to where you used to live Fare well now upon Your way, upon your journey Sweetly end your curve beautifully Come at evening into joy!
