Korpiklaani'nin Şarkı Sözleri


Wooden Pints

There's men, underground
Who have never seen the sun
But they really know how to party
Little men from underground
Who have never seen the sun
But the really know how to party

[Chorus:]
They rise their wooden pints and they yoik and sing
And they fight and dance 'till the morning

Tables full, reindeer meat
And the camp fire shines and the brick walls are full candles
Tables full, wooden pints
They don't care about their sins
They just wanna get drunk and party

[i]

Long war is now past
Only good men have lasted
They need women, meat, beer and rom
Fight battle full of blood no thoughts about god they just slaughtered killed and tormented

[i]

Before The Morning Sun

Down, in the forest path
When the night comes closer
Air's full of magic
When, elfgirls dancing
Dancing in the circle
I watch them from the bushes
Down, in the forest path
When night comes closer
When the sun goes down
Once, once again
I will try to sleep
Before the morning sun

God Of Wind

Let me tell you a story
Story of a man
Who wants to be a god
God of the wind
He dressed to brown
Brown leather clothes
He used a bone mace
And ate mushrooms
He lived in the woods
There trees are huge
Only friends were trolls
Who were all the time drunk
He saw nightmare
There big bad bear
Ran behind him
And shouted these words:

[Chorus:]
If you want to be a god of wind
You have to beat me
If you want to be a god of wind
You must take my skin
If you want to be a god of wind
You must use my nails
If you want to be a god of wind
You must be like me, must be like bear


With Trees

Far, far away, where the birch wouldn't grow
Far, far away and where the wind freezes your face
There you won't be alone

I would rather fly with eagles, to the snow hills
I would rather run with wolves, between the trees
I would rather be with trees, than in the middle of noisy streets

So far away, My mind flies to the moon
Far, far away, I can see what happens soon
And what's most important

You Looked Into My Eyes

We are here alone
Only the camp fire
Shines on your face
I touched your hand
But you disappeared
As the smoke the air

[Chorus:]
You looked into my eyes
You have me hypnotized
And I do what you want to

We are here alone
Only the moon
And wolves are with us
Fire swallowed
You and your hair were ablazed
But you still laughed loud
I'm alone again
And old pine tree
Asked me, where's your woman?
I said: Shut up
Or I make of you another
Firewood


Man Can Go Even Through The Grey Stone

Man can go through the grey stone
Man can go through the great stone
Man can go, man can go

Men's got to do what men's got to do
Men's got to do what men's got to do
Men's got to do, men's go to do

You can do what you wanna do
You can do what you wanna do
You can do, you can do


Crows Bring The Spring

End of the Winter
End of the coldness
End of the day
Crows come to this forest
Flies through this woods
Over the dark water
Where ice will die soon
Winter surrenders finally
Spring rises it's wings
Unleash sun's burning flames
Bring warmth with crows
Reveals stones from the snow
You can see the snow
On the mountain tops
And brook's to the sea
Soon sun rises over the hills

[Chorus:]
Endless sky burning red
Purple clouds touch the top of the high mountain
And in the wind I hear those crows
They bring the spring
And take the cold away

Hengittömiltä Hengiltä (From The Dead People's Spirit)

Virui vanha tainnoksissa
Noidan vita tehdessansä
Sielun tietä etsimässä
Tuolta tuonelan metsästä
Hengettömiltä hengiltä
Katkerina katselleilta
Kalman kylmitä hengiltä
Takaisin tupihinsa
Synnyin sydämmihinsa

[English version:]

[From the dead people's spirit]

There was old knocked
When tried make witches root
Looking for souls way
on there somewhere in the wood
From the dead people spirit
they looked angry
It will kill on cold
back to home
Bornt on hearts

Shaman Drum

I've wandered with the folk of the woods
Wisdom I've learned from the oldest one
He said: "do not fear me"
And led me to downwards
I saw big aperture in the ground
When he asked me a question
"Do you know what is this hole in the ground,
Do you know the meaning of this?

[Chorus:]
I wondered and wondered
'Cause I knew
If I won't know the answer
I'd never get a shaman drum
And personal ability
I wondered and wondered
'Cause I knew
If I won't know the answer
I'd never get a magic drum and personal ability

Oh yes, this is the place, where you've get
Your spirit to your voice
We stepped through into the earth
And we walked to the river of witches
The river flows two ways I saw
And the old man had a uestion
"You see the water flowing both ways
To the south and north
Do you know why, do you know why?"

[i]

Then I saw old grey wolf, it came to me
And whispered to my ear:
"The northern flow born from the water which dead has been bathed and the southeren flow born from the water which washed a new-born child"

Old man looked at me and the wolf he said:
"Now you have a leader and the truth
When we go back home, you'll have your drum of your own
And you'll know how to use it:"


Cottages & Saunas

Attack forward you Nordic boy
Fire to the balls
Attack without fear through the enemy lines
Attack and let it burn
Here we had built our cottages and saunas
From the swamp we have shovelled our fields
Nobody can take it away from us
Not for free, and that's for sure

[Chorus:]
Here we had built our cottages and saunas
From the swamp we have shovelled our fields
Nobody can take it away from us
Not for free, an that's for sure

[i]

We eat iron, we shit the chain
We never let them live
Gunfire pounded night after night
Ant then all was quit here
We saw the forest full of bodies
Nobody could escaped
And horses' carcasses among with the bodies
And everywhere there burnt

[Chorus x5]

Journey Man

I was born in a deep forest
I wish I could live here all my life
I am made from stones and roots
My home, these woods and roads

All my life I loved this sound
Of the woods all around
Eagles flies where the winds blows free
Journey is my destiny

Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight
Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight

Ragged trousers, rucksack in my back
Narrow road behind me
I never look back
Long way is in the past
As in front of me
Hunger keeps me going
I don't care where it leads
Fire burns under my feet
Journey men pleasure and destiny
Sky is black, stars shows me the way
Moon whispered how to keep my faith

Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight

Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight

Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight

Free, free as a journey man
Feel, heat in the moonlight

Fields In Flames

They rode
Those two hundred men
Narrow roads
Through this dark cold land
They burnt all villages
They raped and destroyed
Took gold, silver and coins
Taxes to King was their mission
But pain and sorrow they left behind
They drank all booze
They stole and killed
Fields in Flames and
Families without homes
Men with their golden swords
Horses' armoured heads
Iron harassed hard
Blades of weapons slashed
In silence the village lie down
Hearts bleeding morbid sorrow
One man of these men of the death
One man, broke down
Down he went with insanity
Down man, lunatic
He lit the fire under the house
You could only see his feet
He burnt away his insanity
Burnt away those memories

Spirit Of The Forest

He never speaks
but he understands
Thinks higher than a man
He's living in
The northern lights
In winter everlasting
He travels around
Big drum in his hand
And he knows
What you have in your mind
There's always wolf within
That leads him down
And back home

Spirit, spirit of the forest
Hiding in those northern lights
Spirit, spirit of the forest
Hiding in those northern lights

He has long waited
For the right moment
Storm of colors
Rages in the sky
Beware, never whistle
To the northern lights
Or it curses you
To the woods of evernight

There's only one
Who can really sets you free
And it's spirit of the forrest's
Old white wolf
But it hard to track
You'll never found footsteps
It will find you
If you are really blessed

Native Land

The waves of the lake splash
and pines hum
The frost of the north hurts,
Finnish grief it sings
Woods bleak and stony, unlit,
there my mind rests
There I will forget the pain,
stars and moon us bless
O my native land, stand proud, facing the future
You were never broken down, banished into the night
O my native land, stand proud, facing the future
you will never be broken down
Not weather can frighten us
not to shrivel us winters
not the cruelty of the woods
take our blood and life
Frothy rapids roar
and the hills high
Woods of pine and forests of birch
over the wide rocks


Hunting Song

Huntin is going on
we are a part of the wilderness

Hunting is going on
only the fast will survive
in the forest we prowl
looking hard for deers
Hunger croaks in our stomachs
our eyes like the wolves'

We run after meat as the possessed
and we kill without pity
we rejoice and we laugh when the deer falls
hunting's more than just killing for the food

Hunting is going on
we are a part of the wilderness

Hunting is going on
only the fast will survive
Away they will not get, those four legged
not even the smallest one
we live in the forest here only fast ones live
only strongest will survive

Beer Beer

From evening to morning
And morning to evening
I wanna drink
Something stronger than a man
From evening to morning
And morning to evening
I wanna drink
Cause that's what I am
Beer, beer
I want beer
From beer I get really drunk
Beer, beer
I need more beer
So much I pass out
For beer I'm working
For beer I'm fighting
For beer I'll do
Whatever I have to
When drunk I'm talking
When drunk I'm joking
When drunk I can be as I've
Always wanted to be


Old Tale

Old tale about the girl,
and the poor farmer boy,
their time together flamed
It couldn't last forever,
they knows it well

So they took from the moment,
everything
so they took from the moment,
everything

Said father to the maid,
it's time to go,
you'll marry my chosen one
He's rich enough and religious,
He's the lord of all known

Who is the chosen one,
asked girl with sad eyes
He's a lord from the west,
he is to you the man best
But the girl was sad as a child
The girl carried the farmer's child,
and father noticed that
You'll die, he yelled,
you'll die as a whore,
you belong to the gallows,
then I'll bury you and your goddamn sins
The boy heard, that girl got hung

He took the sword
and cut her father's throat
Then he rode to the chasm
and fell down to his death
There he met his bride and son
who is that little on,
who you embrace?
He is your sweet son
and come with us
we are now here together forever
always here together forever



Kädet Siipinä (Hands As Their Wings)

Niin hilijaisen,
näen hilijaisen
näen kulkueen miin mustan,
niin tunman mustan
hiljaisen näen surussa kulkevan
kädet on siipinä, niin on kädet suojana
suojana siivet silmäin
surun silmäin, kädet siipinä
eessä mustan hunnun
kulkueen näen länteen,
hiljaa, niin lipuu hiljaa länteen
kulkueen niin tumman leskein,
niin mustan nuornain leskein
jol kädet siipinä, suojana silmäin
käet siipinä leskein
hiljaa kuulen surun laulun,
kuulen laulun katkeran
hyrinän hyisen leskein,
kivun tunnen kivun kuoleman
näen minä tumman taivaan,
palavan taivaanrannan minä nään
tuulesta kuulen hyisen huuon
sodan kylmän huuon

[Hands As Their Wings]

So silent, I see, oh so silent
I see the procession so black, oh so dark, so dark
silent I see the procession of sorrow,
hands as their wings, shielding are the hands
shielding the eyes are the wings
the eyes of sorrow, hands as wings
in front of the black veil

I see the procession westbound
silently gliding westbound
the procession of widows so dark
so dark the young widows
whose hands as wings shielding their eyes
hands as wings of the widows

Quietly I hear the song of sorrow, I hear the song so bitter
humming of the frozen widow, I fell the pain, the grief of death
I see the dark sky, the horizon burning I see
I hear the chilling call in the wind
the cold call of war,
the cold call of war,
the cold call of war

Happy Little Boozer

He sees himself as the saviour of the world
His will is strong and he's feeling good

Ive known him since the first taste of beer
I will meet him many times in a year

Happy little, Happy little, Happy little boozer

He thinks he is the most famous guy
He smiles and laughs and he has a loud voice

He can be very nice he can be full of anger
He'll behave very well, right after misbehaving


Väkirauta

Viere vaino, vihavieras,
Kulki kauhu, Hiien heitto,
Polki mannert', anturaine
Tarpahutti tuhokoura

Sai se yhen vastahansa,
Yhen miehen mäkimailta,
Kera vasken valituimman,
Rautakouran eikkuvimman

Veti miekan, riisti rauan,
Tempo, tuisko, terävällä!
Väisi, viilti, veisti, voitti!
Maistoi mustaa mahtia

Turmel' päitä tappoteivas,
Välähytti väkirauta
Repi, ruhjo, raiskas', riehki,
Vihaan sorti, vainolaisen

Helkky loiste metsämailta,
Valokannel vaarahilta,
Soitto soiton sankarista,
Veisti virren voittajasta:

Se on Kauko Suomen seppo,
Tannermaitten takomiesi,
Kuka tako mahtirauan,
Kalkutteli väkivasken

Riemu, rauha, rajuköyry,
Voittovakka vimmatuuli,
Vallitsevi vaarahilla,
Mekastavi metsämailla

[English Translation:]

Persecution, hate, fear, Hiisi!
Trampling foot, hand of doom

One stood up, a man from the mountains
with the steel, the most selected kind

Drew the sword, pulled the steel,
smashed, hit with the sharp one!
Dodged, slashed, cut, won!
Had a piece of dark force

Crushed the head, the tool of death,
in the flash of the steel
Tore, mangled, raped, stormed,
cut down the persecutor

Sweet music from the forests,
sound of kantele from the mountains
Played a song about a hero
told a story about a winner:

Drew the sword, pulled the steel

That is Kauko, smith of Finland
master of the wrought iron,
one who forged the mighty steel,
one who brought down the Hiisi

Rejoicing, peace, rough party,
stormwind of victory,
going on the mountain sides,
racket in the forest land

Drew the sword, pulled the steel

Midsummer Night

Growing up with the wild bears
Breathing the smell of burning wood
Rain and clouds my only friends
Sun and moon and stars and light

Now it's time of a midnight sun
The eternal light and a breathing night
Call the gods with bones and drum
Join the shaman's magic

[Chorus 1]

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name

[Chorus 2]

Flames are fading in the dawn
The spirits are back to their world
I've seen the future and it's good


Tuli Kokko

Tuli kokko, iliman lintu,
Havukka, tuolt' tuulten päältä,
Litti lintu, syöksy sääksi,
Sinitaivon selänteiltä

Siivet sil' ol' suuremmoiset,
Hövhenkarvat hurjanlaiset,
Nokkanuoli kovin kopra,
Silmäpari salamoiva

Kuni kokonkaunis kaatos,
Kuni havukan luova lento,
Niin on mieli miunki ylväs,
Niin on aatos miunki vappaa

Toinen siipi maata viisti,
Toinen taivon kantta raapi,
Nokka koukki kuusiloit,
Silmät näki tähtein' päähän

Kuli halki kolmen kosken,
Kolmen kosken, neljän virran,
Kaunoisehen metsänmaahan,
Suloisehen Suomenmaahan

Kuni kokon kaunis kaarros,
Kuni havukan luova lento,
Niin on mieli miunki ylväs,
Niin on aatos miunki vappaa

[English Translation:]

Came The Eagle

Came the eagle of the air,
a hawk from above the wind
Gliding bird, charging beast,
from the depths of the blue sky

Wings they were wide and strong,
feathers they were furious
Beak it was long and sharp,
eyes they were flashing

Beautiful as an eagle's curve,
Bold as a hawk's dive,
So is noble my own mind,
So is free my own spirit

The first wing touched the ground,
the second wing scratched the sky
The beak was touching the treetops,
the eyes saw to the end of stars

Flew over three rapids,
three rapids, four rivers
To forest land so beautiful,
to the sweet land of Finns

Beautiful as an eagle's curve

Under The Sun

[Music & Lyrics: Jonne Järvelä]

When all around is burning,
You are the flame, you are the sun
You'll burn your way to a secret place
To a place where you can breath

When all around is drowning
You are the one who can fish me up,
The drowning man, out of the lake,
The only one I let to do it

You are the one
(I just want to fly)
You are the one
(I just want to rise)
You are the one
(I just want to see)
You are the one
(Under the sun)
You are the one

When my whole world is turning
You are the one who keeps me still
You are someone I can lean on
When my own feet are too weak


Korpiklaani

[Music: Jonne Järvelä; Lyrics: Virva Holtiton]

Kanervalan kasvatiksi,
Tapiolan tarpojaksi
Olen syntynt' sotijalo,

[English translation:]

Brought up by Kanervala,
To travel through Tapiola,
Born a noble warrior
Grown a strong wanderer

Travelin' through the wilds, woods,
Treasures of the virgin forest
Spirit of all time in my heart,
Strength of the mountains
In my hands

Clan of the forest,
Clan of the wilderness,
Hands of a bear
Clan of the forest,
Clan of the wilderness,
Strength of the mountains
Clan of the wilderness
Clan of the wilderness

Hands of a bear,
Wisdom of a lynx,
Music from the horned one,
Speed from the wolves' legs
I have



Rise

[Music: Jonne Järvelä; Lyrics: Jonne Järvelä, Virva Holtiton, Jarkko Aaltonen]

Out of the silent sea,
Came the holy men of war
Killers in the name of god, with bible,
Cross and book of law
Welcome to the land of ice,
Welcome to the land of snow
Come in and meet our gods
This is not your day

[Chorus:]
Nouskaa maasta maitten henget,
Nouskaa maasta maitten henget,
Tulten henget, soan henget,
Tulten henget, soan henget,
Veden virrat, ilman pauhut,
Veden virrat, ilman pauhut,
Päälle vainomiesten päitten,
Päälle vainomiesten päitten

[Chorus in English:]
Rise from the ground, spirits of the earth,
Spirits of fire, spirits of war,
Flow of waters, rumble of thunder,
Above the heads of our enemies

Rise now from the ground
Mighty spirits of the earth
Come down god of wind
Mighty spirit of the air

Rise now water of the seas
Drown all our enemies
Rise now god of fire
Burn and give back our land of dreams

Kirki

[Music: Jonne Järvelä; Lyrics: Virva Holtiton]

Öitsilöissä, karkeilossa,
Karkeilossa mielesissä,
Juhlasissa köyrysissä
Nyt miehyt olla tahon

Jalka tahtoo tanssahella,
Toine vähä vähtäskellä,
Kolmas kovin koukkaella,
Mie nyt miehyt valmis!

Kun on nännät näppysissä,
Kyrvän kuuman nivuksessa,
Nouse liekki riehuman!
Kohoa kirki kiimalle!

Naikkoseni, verevämi
Eukkoni miun valittuin'
Lie'on lämmön sulattavi,
Lemmen, kiihkon liekuttavi,
Kuuma on yöhyt, kesä lämmin,
Kirki kuumempi sitäki,
Nouse liekki riehumahan!
Kohoa kirki kiimalle!

[English translation:]

In the nightly parties
In the dirty dances
In the intense festivities
I want to be a man!

A leg wants to dance
Second wants to move
Third one wants to push
I am ready to be a man!

Nipples, fingers,
Hot phallus, raging fire!
Raise your horny head!

My woman, fertile one
My wife, chosen one
Calms my heat, sets my lust
Night is hot, summer's warm
Lust is hotter, the rising lust
Raise your horny head!



Hide Your Riches

[Music & Lyrics: Jonne Järvelä]

If you can hear the whisper of the wind
And the words of the woods

If you can hear the whisper of the wind
And the words of the woods

Then you'll find your way,
Out of the dark to the other side of shroud,
Away from the shroud of mystery,
Away from the shroud of mist

If you have the lasting happiness
And the peace in your heart

If you have the lasting happiness
And the peace in your heart

Then you have to hide your riches
From the hungry hunters,
Away from the filthy animals,
Out of snakes' reach


Let's Drink

Little red house, potato field
Little forest, lake as far as you can see
Woodshed, for my home brewed beer,
perfect place for drunkards like me

Never gonna give up my rugged live,
never sell my infertile soil
Never gonna give up this simple style,
let's drink and enjoy

Disappointment is who i live with,
great grief only mate from then,
every morning pangs of remorse
but it's so familiar like my old black horse

Never gonna give up my rugged live,
never sell my infertile soil
Never gonna give up this simple style,
let's drink and enjoy

[English translation:]

Resinous Stump

Great old man, steady as a rock
The eternal untamable hero
The guardian of the forests
Keeps his eye in the wetlands

He has seen it all, he has heard it all
He knows it all, he is the master of ot all
But still he has a lot to see, to experience and to hear

Resin-like blood in his veins
Hair like spruce needles

He had seen it all, heard it all, known it all
He ha mastered it all, seen it all, heard it all
He had known it all, mastered it all, seen it all
He had heard it all, known it all, mastered it all

He has seen the th was
The battles in his backyard
He saw the years of hunger
He lived through the famines

He has seen it all, he has heard it all
He knows it all, he is the master of ot all
But still he has a lot to see, to experience and to hear

It wil take many more years
until the death carries the stump away

He had seen it all, heard it all, known it all
He ha mastered it all, seen it all, heard it all
He had known it all, mastered it all, seen it all
He had heard it all, known it all, mastered it all

The age of nine heroes
Has lived the old man
His roots in the frozen ground
Hardening his back skin

He has seen it all, he has heard it all
He knows it all, he is the master of ot all
But still he has a lot to see, to experience and to hear

He has seen it all, he has heard it all
He knows it all, he is the master of ot all
But still he has a lot to see, to experience and to hear

He had seen it all, heard it all, known it all
He ha mastered it all, seen it all, heard it all
He had known it all, mastered it all, seen it all
He had heard it all, known it all, mastered it all

[Korpiklaani note:
Tervaskanto is not just a stump of a tree, but also a metaphor for an experienced old man, who knows about all aspects of life All around the Fenno-Ugric language area man has always associated himself with a tree This can be seen in the significance of for example the wooden seitas of the Sami people or the sacred garden trees of the ancient Finns]

Viima

Sen Tuulen tuolta tunnen

Tunnen tuimat tuiskaukseses

Sen tuulen tunnen maani halki
Tunnen omaks iskut raivos
Tunnen tunnon tuonnimmaisen

Nouse aina noituissani
Iske, iske aina iskeissäni
laula aina laillessani

[English translation:]

Icy Wind

I can feel the icy wind
I can feel the icy wind
I can feel the wind in treetops
I can feel your biting burst
I can feel your spirit glow

I can feel the icy wind
I can feel the icy wind
I can feel the wind through my land
I can feel your rage my own
I can feel you from beyond

Rise when I call you
Strike when I strike
Sing when I Sing
Let the sky bleed when you want to

[Korpiklaani note:
This is a shamanistic portrayal of nature in which the man associates himself with other natural phenomena]

Bloody Bastard Children

We were born against our will
We were born with bloddy faces
Bleeding like an autumn rain
A rain, black from blood

Our eyes flaming red
Echoes through our ears
Voices, cries and screams
Screams of evil laughter

We are the bloody bastard chldren
We are crying ihitiriekkos
Hiding in the rough forest
Hunting the travelers

Our father got lucky
His luck was misfortune for our mother
Our mother impregnated
Disgrace for everyone

In the darkness we suffer
Suffer if we have to
Have to get drunk from the skull
To get drunk to tease the travelers

We are the bloody bastard chldren
We are crying ihitiriekkos
Hiding in the rough forest
Hunting the travelers

[Korpiklaani note:
Ihtiriekko was the ghost of a dead child screaming terribly in the dark forest In the past it was quite common to get rid of unwanted illegitimate children by just killing them and abandoning them in the forest]
