Ikkunani alla - Rowan Tree

from Viira by Kardemimmit

/

about

"A rowan tree is blooming under my window, and I can see the sea glittering far away. I did not cry when my love one left for good.
A rowan tree is blooming under my window and the fields are swinging in the wind. My loved one has a wild foal with silver bridle buckles.
A rowan tree is blooming under my window and the scent of bramble flowers is floating in. My young loved one is far away, I remember their beautiful dark hair."

lyrics

Ikkunani alla pihlaja kukkii ja kaukana välkkyy meri.
Enkä minä silloin itkeny kun heilani iäksi meni.

Ikkunani alla pihlaja kukkii ja heiluu laihojen olki.
Heilallani on virma varsa, hopeasta suitsen solki.

Ikkunani alla pihlaja kukkii ja tuoksuu mesimarjan kukka.
Heilani nuori on maailmalla, kaunis on tumma tukka.
