Rantaniitty - Field by a Shore

from Viira by Kardemimmit

/

about

"She walked along the sea shore, watching white foamed waves. She though about her sweetheart who was walking on foreign lands. Flower field along the shore, full of flowers. Only one was a red rose. Above the bay she saw a big flock of birds. Among those white birds there was one black bird."

lyrics

Hän kulki suurelle rannalle, miss' aallot vaahtopäinä kuohui.
Niin mietti missä käy kultansa, tuo kulki vieraalla maalla.

Rantaniitty täynnä kukkia, mut yksi niistä oli ruusu vain.
Oi, tuokin kukka niin punainen, pian se haalistuu ja kuihtuu.

Ja yllä lahden tuon sinisen hän näki suuren lintuparven.
Niin niistä valkeista linnuista vain yhden puku oli musta.

Rantaniitty täynnä kukkia, mut yksi niistä oli ruusu vain.
Oi, tuokin kukka niin punainen, pian se haalistuu ja kuihtuu.
