about

"I wish my darling came to me, I would recognize them from the sound of their footsteps from miles away. I'd go to welcome them as fast as the smoke travels in the wind. I'd greet them with kisses even if their lips were covered in wolf's blood. I would wrap my arms around their neck even if there was already death around it. I would hold their hand even if they were holding a snake. But there's no wolf's blood, there's no death around their neck, nor a snake in their hand. Their lips taste of honey, hands are as precious as gold and neck like a heather stem."

lyrics

Kun mun kultani tulisi, armahani asteleisi,
tuntisin mä tuon tulosta, arvoaisin astunnasta.
Jos ois vielä virstan päässä, tahikka kahen takana,
tuntisin mä tuon tulosta, arvoaisin astunnasta.

Utuna ulos menisi, savuna pihalle saisin,
kipunoina kiiättäisin, liekkinä lehauttaisin.

Vierren vierehen menisin, supostellen suun etehen,
kipunoina kiiättäisin liekkinä lehauttaisin.
Kyl' mie kättä käpsäjäisin vaik' ois käärme kämmenellä,
kyl' mie suuta suikkajaisin vaik' ois surma suun edessä.
Kyl' mä kaulahan kapuisin vaik' ois kalma kaulaluilla,
kyl' mä vierehen viruisin vaik' ois vierus verta täynnä.

Vaan ei ole kullallani, ei oo suu suden veressä,
käden käärmehen talissa, kaula kalman tarttumissa.

Suu on kullasta sulasta, huulet hunajamedestä,
kädet kultaiset koriat, kaula kuin kanervan varsi.
