| She spoke to me, approaching me
|
| On a road so dark and dreary
|
| Her black halo walked by me
|
| Disappearing so far behind
|
| She travelled not alone
|
| An old wife followed on her side
|
| And snakes crawled behind her steps
|
| And crows circled overhead
|
| Time and again they come to me
|
| In the darkness of the night
|
| And the raven-haired girl
|
| Whispers her listless words
|
| «Do not look at me
|
| I am the daughter of hate
|
| You must not see me
|
| Never touch my heart
|
| Never!»
|
| The words of raven-haired girl
|
| «Do not look at me
|
| 'Cause I’m the daughter of hate»
|
| Each morn I swear, each day I pledge
|
| Should we yet meet
|
| On the road of dream
|
| That we would look each other in the eye
|
| Time and again they come to me
|
| In the darkness of the night
|
| And the raven-haired girl
|
| Whispers her listless words
|
| «Do not look at me
|
| I am the daughter of hate
|
| You must not see me
|
| Never touch my heart
|
| Never!»
|
| The words of raven-haired girl
|
| «Do not look at me
|
| 'Cause I’m the daughter of hate»
|
| First come the ravens, swirling overhead
|
| Your words, the hiss of snake
|
| The old wife is ever silent
|
| Your words, the hiss of snake
|
| Kun taivas taas on pimeä
|
| Ja tuuli tuo askelten äänet
|
| Odotan kuun alla
|
| Vaanin varjojen välissä
|
| Ensin tulivat korpit
|
| Kieppuivat kulkueen yllä
|
| Vanha vaimo on sanaton
|
| Sinun sanasi käärmeen kuiskaus on
|
| «Do not look at me
|
| I am the daughter of hate
|
| You must not see me
|
| Never touch my heart
|
| Never!»
|
| Your words, the hiss of snake
|
| The words of raven-haired girl
|
| Whispered in my ear
|
| The sigh of the raven-haired girl
|
| «Never!
|
| Do not look at me
|
| 'Cause I’m the daughter of hate» |
