On suuri sun rantas autius

by Traditional Folk Song Jouko Tötterström

Description

Suomalainen kansansävelmä, Finnish folk song.

The loneliness of thy shores are forever in my mind, the lament of the wild duck that is heard in the night. A lonely lost one, cold an miserable a young duckling who has strayed from ist mother. Your grey waves I have watched with weeping eyes, it was there my youth shed its first tears. The image is still vivid and still I miss it, the place where many nights were spent listening to the cry of the wild duck. (transl. Kari Turunen)
