Translation of the song lyrics Aurinko ja Kuu - Moonsorrow

Aurinko ja Kuu (original)

«Aurinko ja kuu
Syttyneet kaukana sieltä
Missä lehväin suoja yllein kumartuu
Kai vuosia olen jo kulkenut
Muassa metsien kansojen
Olen oppinut viisautta susilta
Ja nukkunut karhujen kanssa
Yhtään ihmistä en ole kohdannut
Kylänkään liepeille sattunut
Tiedä en matkaani kotoa
Kohtalo sanelee minne johtaa tie."
Kaukana tyvenessä
Vehreä polku verelle johdattaa
Yllä maan, taivas kattona
Loppunsa on kaikella
«Kai vuosia olen jo kulkenut
Miettien veljeni lähtöä
Kunpa tietäisin minne hän päätyy
Jumalat suojelkoot häntä matkallaan.»
Järkähtävät vankat kalliot
Vaeltavat kuu ja aurinko
Tuulet yltyvät, myrskyt tyyntyvät
Laivojansa aallot etsivät
«Taivaalla tähdet valaiskaa
Tulen vain minä tarvitsen
Luonnosta olen syntynyt
Edessäs' mitään pelkää en.»
«The sun and the moon
Lit so far from where
The shelter of branches does bend over me
I count it as years that I’ve wandered
Amongst the folk of the woods
Wisdom I’ve learned from wolves
And I have slept in the beds of bears
No other man I’ve met on my way
No village I’ve walked past by
I couldn’t tell my way from home
Destiny dictates where my road shall turn.
"
Far far away in the still
A verdant path once leads to blood
Above the earth with heavens as vault
There is an end to all
«I count it as years that I’ve wandered
Just thinking of my brother’s departure
Oh I wish I was told where he would end up
May the gods guard him on his journey.
"
And the steady rocks stir
The moon and the sun do rove
Winds are rising, storms abate
Their ships the waves still seek
«Stars on the sky come out
Only the fire I need
From the nature I have born
Before thee nothing I fear.
»

(translation)

"The sun and the moon
Ignited far from there
Where the leaf shelter bends over
I guess I've been around for years
Among other forest nations
I have learned wisdom from wolves
And slept with the bears
I haven't met a single person
It happened on the outskirts of the village as well
I don't know I'm traveling from home
Fate dictates where the road leads. "
Far away at the base
A green path to the blood leads
Above the earth, the sky is the roof
Everything is over
“I guess I’ve been through for years
Thinking about my brother leaving
I wish I knew where he was going
May the gods protect him on his way.
Shocking solid rocks
Wandering moon and sun
The winds rise, the storms calm down
The waves of their ships are searching
«In the sky, the stars shine
I'll just come I need it
I was born of nature
I'm not afraid of anything.
«The sun and the moon
Lit so far from where
The Shelter of branches does bend over me
I count it for years that I have wandered
Amongst the folk of the Woods
Wisdom Learnve learned from Wolves
And I have slept in the beds of bears
No other man I have met on my way
No village Wantve walked past by
I could not tell my way from home

Far far away in the still
A verdant path once leads to blood
Above the earth with Heavens as vault
There is an end to it all
«I count it as years that Wereed wandered
Just thinking of my brother’s departure
Oh I wish I was told where they would end up
May the Gods guard him on his journey.
"
And the steady rocks stir
The moon and the sun do Rove
Winds are rising, storms Abate
Their ships the waves still seek
«Stars on the sky come out
Only the fire I need
From the nature I have been born
Before thee nothing I fear.
