• Lovebirds' Song/Roguel

Original (Valian & English)

Original Valian	English
ilmana riigin vaevannain1 saolana saolain elennain2 saolana viihma tarvasin (äryanänna peadid3) lumalle aega4 täsarma hiiva västamma aura (äryanänna peadid) neesta Vastaa ruunann' pahaa!5	He wanders the lands of the dreaming He sings the songs of the unliving He sings the death of trees (The lovebirds have left) Prick of frost Icing of water Passing of time (The lovebirds have left) And he is Father Winter All-seer!

Notes

1. literally 'dreamers'
2. literally 'those not alive'
3. a play on words as peadid can refer to both a amorous couple and a pair of a bird that migrates south during winter
4. a “frozen” phrase meaning 'frostbite', a more modern version would be lumallaega.
5. literally 'he sees secrets!'.
