"Kalmisto" lyrics

"Kalmisto"

[Finnish:]

Kun päivän yötä odottaa
Vaan hämärä ei alakkaan
Silloin yö vie toisen
Ja aamua ei näe kumpikaan

Vaan kel ois tunto tulevan?
Hetken viimeisen sen kumaran
Kellois ehtyy aika odotan
Se lepo on tuon kulkijan

Koht'ei laulu tuuleen tartu
No ei vartu, no ei pieninkään
Syvän järven pohjaan sortu
Unohtu, ihan yksinään

Ken kyntäjän viittaa sovittaa
Maan rakoseen hän itse joutaa
Huono kirveellä niittää
Itse taipuu ja kuolo kiittää

Käy Kalmistoon näkyy pää taipaleen
Käy Kalmistoon päättyy päivät voipuneen
Käy Kalmistoon näinkö loppuu jo tää?
Käy Kalmistoon elo luita kylvää maan poveen routaiseen

Kuka kirvestä käyttää?
Alla puuta no vaiko luuta?
Ken sillä oikeutta jakaa
Sen verellään suapi maksaa

Janona elo vaiko kuolo
Onko luoja vai suruntuoja?
Kirves kalloon kolahtaa
Musta kuolo päähän koppaa

Käy Kalmistoon näkyy pää taipaleen
Käy Kalmistoon päättyy päivät voipuneen
Käy Kalmistoon näinkö loppuu jo tää?
Käy Kalmistoon elo luita kylvää maan poveen routaiseen

Kalmistoon
Kalmistoon

[English translation:]

You wait the night to come
But the dusk never sets in
The other went for the darkness
And no one sees the morning

Who could know the future?
The time for the last breath
The time is running out
And the final rest is ahead

Without a song, the wind will blow
The smallest ones, they will not grow old
Drowning in a deep lake's bottom
Forgotten, all alone

Who tries on himself a reaper's cape
Falls into the earth; there is not escape
Cutting hay with an axe won't do
You bend yourself, and death will thank you

March to the grave you see the end of the road
March to the grave you can let go of your load
March to the grave is this the end?
March to the grave life is seeding bones to the frozen ground

Who is using the axe?
Are you cutting wood or breaking bone?
Using it to deal justice
Leads to payment with your own blood

Are you thirsty for life or for death?
Creator or messenger of grief?
The axe strikes against the skull
The black death knocks the head

March to the grave you see the end of the road
March to the grave you can let go of your load
March to the grave is this the end?
March to the grave life is seeding bones to the frozen ground

March to the grave
March to the grave
