Lyrics of Unohduksen lapsi - Moonsorrow

Unohduksen lapsi (original)

Katkennut terä kädessäni
Verivana rinnallani
Vain tyhjä huotra maahan tallattuna
Seuraa kun lähden taas
On vihollinen kaadettu
Voittamaton voitettu
Veistettyä lihaani pelko jäytää
Tuo viima hyytävä
Nimeäni kuljettaa
Punainen veri piirtää
Merkin maahan routaiseen
Vuoren rinnettä
Huurre kapuaa
Kuin hetkeään odottaen
Laelle kotka vain jää
Taas vaihtaa tuuli suuntaa
Se vainajia syleilee ja kivet murentaa
On metsä autio
Ja pilvet paenneet
Katson henki höyryten
Kun kaikki hiljalleen jäätyy
Vain viima hyytävä
Nimeäni kuljettaa
Lopulta tiedän sen
Mitä tulin täyttämään
Vuoren rinnettä
Taivas kuristaa
Pelotta tarkkailee hän
Jonka siivet vielä kantavat
Yksin tuulta vastassa
Seisoo orpo taistojen
Siintää metsä keihäiden
Rannassa taivaan punaisen
Se raivo lailla ukkosen
Silpoo rivit nöyrtyvien
Sudet talosta kuoleman
Suovat henkäyksen viimeisen
Yksin tuulta vastassa
On lapsi tuon teurastuksen
Ei vanhus sano sanaakaan
Vain haaskalinnut taivaalla tarinansa tuntevat
Multaan hautaan kappaleet
Raudan väsymättömän
Matkan lopussa ei jäljelle jää mitään
Vielä viima hyytävä
Lauluani kuljettaa
Merkki routaisessa maassa
Aikaan katoaa
Vuoren rinnettä
Huurre kapuaa
Kuin hetkeään odottaen
Laelle kotka vain jää
Siivet revitty mutta kynnet valmiina
Loppunsa kohtaamaan
Sodan maailmaa
Pimeys kuristaa
Pelotta tarkkailee hän
Jonka silmät vielä näkevät
A broken sword in my hand
A trail of blood on my chest
Just an empty scabbard trampled to the ground
Will follow as I leave again
The enemy has been slain
The invincible defeated
A fear is gnawing my rough-hewn flesh
The icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
Blood o' so red, it draws
A mark on the frozen ground
And rime is climbing
The mountainside
As if awaiting it’s time to come
A solitary eagle stays still
Yet the wind is changing again
Embracing the dead and eroding what is stone
The woods are silent
And the clouds are gone
Through the steam of my breath
All I see is turning ice
Just the icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
And then it becomes clear
What part here is mine
And sky is strangling
The mountainside
With no fear in his eyes
The one with wings is watching
Alone against the wind
The battlefield orphan now stands
The forest of spears is growing
On the red skyshore
That rage like thunderstorm
Tears the humbling lines
Wolves from the house of death
Now grant the final breath
Alone against the wind
The child of slaughter now stands
No, the old man speaks no words
And only the vultures may tell his tale
Into the soil buried
The shards of untiring iron
At the journey’s end nothing is to remain
Still the icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
The mark on the frozen ground
Will vanish into time
And rime is climbing
The mountainside
As if awaiting it’s time to come
A solitary eagle stays still
Wings they are torn but claws are ready
To face what might be the end
And dark is strangling
The world of war
With no fear in his eyes
The one with sight is watching

(translation)

Broken blade in my hand
Bloody next to me
Only an empty scabbard trampled to the ground
Follow when I leave again
The enemy has been overthrown
Invincible won
The fear of my carved flesh freezes
Bring the cold
My name carries
Red blood draws
A sign on the ground frosty
Mountain slope
The frost rushes
Like waiting for a moment
Only an eagle is left on the ceiling
Again, the wind changes direction
It embraces the dead and crushes the stones
There is a forest desert
And the clouds fled
I watch the spirit in steam
When everything slowly freezes
Just a chill
My name carries
I finally know it
What I came to fulfill
Mountain slope
The sky is choking
He watches fearlessly
Whose wings still carry
Alone against the wind
Standing in orphan battles
There are spears in the forest
On the shore of the sky red
It rages like thunder
Shreds the lines of the humble
Wolves from the house of death
Protect your breath for the last time
Alone against the wind
There is a child of that slaughter
The old man doesn't say a word
Only the birds of prey in the sky know their stories
The songs in the mold grave
Iron tireless
There is nothing left at the end of the trip
Still freezing
My songs carry
A sign in a frosty country
Time will pass
Mountain slope
The frost rushes
Like waiting for a moment
Only an eagle is left on the ceiling
Wings torn but nails ready
To end it
The world of war
Darkness strangles
He watches fearlessly
Whose eyes still see
A broken Sword in my hand
A trail of blood is my chest
Just an empty scabbard trampled to the ground
Will follow as I leave again
The Enemy has been slain
The Invincible defeated
Fear is gnawing my rough-hewn flesh
The icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
Blood o 'so red, it draws
A mark on the frozen ground
And rime is climbing
The mountainside
As if Awaiting is time to come
A solitary eagle stays still
Yet the wind is changing again
Embracing the dead and eroding what is stone
The Woods are silent
And the clouds are gone
Through the steam of my breath
All I see is turning ice
Just the icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
And then it becomes clear
What part here is mine
And the sky is strangling
The mountainside
With no fear in his eyes
The one with wings is watching
Alone against the wind
The Battlefield Orphan now stands
The forest of Spears is growing
On the red skyshore
That rage like thunderstorm
Tears the humbling lines
Wolves from the house of death
Now grant the final breath
Alone against the wind
The child of Slaughter now stands
Well, the old man speaks no words
And only the vultures may tell his tale
Into the soil buried
The shards of untiring iron
At the journey’s end nothing is to remain
Still the icy piercing wind
My name is carried upon
The mark on the frozen ground
Will vanish into time
And rime is climbing
The mountainside
As if Awaiting is time to come
A solitary eagle stays still
Wings they are torn but claws are ready
To face what might be the end
And dark is strangling
The world of war
With no fear in his eyes
The one with sight is watching
