Album: Tales From The Thousand Lakes

Drowned Maid

(Music: Koivusaari, Holopainen, Laine; Lyrics: trad.)
I went to wash at the shore
I went to bath in the sea
and there I, a hen, was lost
I, a bird
untimely died :
Let not my brother
ever in this world
water his war-horse
upon the seashore !
Waters of the sea
so much blood of time
fishes of the sea
so much flesh of mine
Such the death of the young maid
end of the fair little hen
