lyrics

Tuonen tyttö mustatukka, Manalan matala neiti
Etsi maalta martahia, ilmalta iättömiä
Sousi rannan, sousi toisen, sousi suurelle merelle
sousi rannan, sousi toisen, sousi meidän rantuelle

Rakkahat on rantuet, suloiset someromme, viheriät vainiomme

Jos mä Tuonena olisin, tahin Tuonen tyttärenä
Haukuttaisin Tuonen koijut, niin kuin Tuoni meijän koijut
Jos mä Tuonena olisin, tahi Tuonen tyttärenä
Itkettäisin Tuonen lapset, niin kuin Tuoni meidän lapset

What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays
