FAUN - Wainamoinen - Live - German - 2022

Wainamoinen..........
As Väinämöinen (1) played
playing became games
happiness is made happy
and many animals came

When the singing is heard
and the song begins
I sing silver, I sing golden,
a bizarre thing

The bear came out of the valley,
There was no animal in the woods
that didn't shy away from its path
to be near the harp

I sing a bird
and when it sings
it rains gold and it rains silver
when its singing begins

From Väinämöinen's eyes
came clear tears
big as birch leaves
full of hope, full of longing

When the singing is heard
and the song begins
I sing silver, I sing golden,
a bizarre thing

(1) Wise old man/demigod from Finnish folklore with magical singing abilities.
