A day's light told me of my son's fate The sun showed the way, grim and severe Pulled under the raging waters, my child Sank in the drowning currents, my son My son God of fire, bring your light Forger of sun, help me now Guardian of the shore will sleep in your warmth Lull the folk of cold water Banish the serpents of the dark To the river let me go and fetch my son away A rake made of iron from the Gods of skies
The spirit of bright days sent me the sun Cold troops of Tuoni can not stand in my way Untouched I shall walk by the river of the night God of fire, bring your light Forger of sun, help me now Guardian of the shore will sleep in your warmth Lull the folk of cold water Banish the serpents of the dark To the river let me go and fetch my son away My child My son My child My son My child My son My child My son
