Gorrlaus Lyrics

Taltu, orhi vaahtoharja
tyyny tahtia tasaten
Viivyttele väsymistä
valvo aamuhun vasiten
Myöhään yöhön ratsastaisin
tarttuisin harjaan haluten
Kuuhut kuultaa vaskisena
varteesi varjot kuvaten

Kuuma hohkaa, reidet painaa
vartta ratsuni hopeisen
Hiki virtaa vaskiorhin
valtona vaahtoa valuvi

Metsään veisit syvemmälle
oksat raapii, vitsat viiltää
Yöhön veisit, vaskiorhi
henki höyryten karaja

Viivyttele väsymistä
valvo aamuhun vasiten!
(Lyrics: R. Kanerva/H. Wallgren Music: Hedningarna/A. Stake)
=========================
The Steed

Calm, my steed, with mane all foamy
still down, stallion, pace on smoothly
Tarry yet, and do not tire,
wakful and unwavering until morning

Late till night I ride my stallion
clinging to his mane with fingers dug
Woods awash with silvery moonshine
shape the shadows on your sinews
Glowing heat and legs agliding
along the sides of the silver stallion
Steaming sides, the sweet is flowing,
flows the foam in torrents downwards

Take us deeper in the forests
though the twigs they scratch all over
Lead me deep into the darkness
gallop till you gasp for breath

Tarry yet and do not tire
wakeful and unwavering until morning
