I Lull My Child

Kannan tunturilla,
Sanat ja sävel, Yelling Rosa

I Lull My Child,
Words and Music by Yelling Rosa

1.

Kannan tunturilla

I lull on the mountains

pientä kaunista lasta.

My beautiful child to sleep.

Riekko edessä mun vaeltaa.

A willow grouse ahead us saunters.

Tuuli hyväilee hiljaa

The wind cherishes softly

suolaheinää kädellään,

The sorrel with her long hand,

päivä taa tunturin

The day behind the peaks

piiloutuu.

Of stone hides.

2.

Kaiku huutoon vastaa,

The echo sounds the plot

kun mun lullatus hellä

When my affectionate song

alkaa aaluvan luonta painaa.

Makes my little precious baby tired.

Pienet keltaiset kädet,

Tiny tanned hands, jaw and nose,

rus – keat silmät

Bottomless look of her eyes

pian kai nukahtavat

Soon will turn into rest

syliini.

In my arms.

3.

Tämän lapsen uni,

The dream of my young one,

iso veikeä hymy

Big funny contented smile

lailla porotokan aukeaa

Like a herd of reindeer spreads around

ja se käteni yhteen

And it makes me cross my arms.

liittää ja laulan, nauran

I sing and I praise the land

valossa kyljellään

In the flat light which crawls

kulkeessa.

Through the air.

On the background of the video you hear my song, Kannan tunturilla (I Lull My Child). My good musician friend Jouni Juola sings and accompaniment we did together. This song is on our album Hiljaisia lauluja in 1996. You are able to see the transaltion of Kannan tunturilla above the video.

About Yelling Rosa

I am retired. In my spare time I read, write, play the guitar and hike. I have published three verse books in Finnish and recorded my songs. You can listen to them on YouTube. I have translated some of my poems on Yelling Rosa's Weblog. I also like to watch movies. Olen kiinnostunut lukemisesta, kirjoittamisesta, kitaransoitosta ja luonnossa vaeltamisesta. Olen julkaissut kolme runokirjaa ja laulujani on äänitteillä. Voit lukea runojani Yelling Rosan kotisivuilta ja kuunnella laulujani YouTubessa. Olen elokuvafriikki.
