A day's light told me

of my son's fate

The sun showed the way,

grim and severe

Pulled under the raging

waters, my child

Sank in the drowning

currents, my son

My son

My son

My strength is not enough,

my powers failed me

I need the heavens help,

I ask for thunder's force

I plead for you oh lightning,

forge an iron tool

A magic rake for dragging,

a river for my son

My son

God of fire bring your light

Forger of sun help me now

Guardian of the shore

will sleep in your warmth

Lull the folk of cold water

Banish the serpents of the dark

To the river let me go,

and fetch my son away

A rake made of iron

from the Gods of skies

The spirit of bright

days, sent me the sun

Cold troops of Tuoni

cannot stand in my way

Untouched I shall walk by

the river of the night

God of fire bring your light

Forger of sun help me now

Guardian of the shore

will sleep in your warmth

Lull the folk of cold water

Banish the serpents of the dark

To the river let me go,

and fetch my son away

My child, my son

My child, my son

My child, my son

My child, my son
