Welcome me father On the North shores of Lapland Welcome me father Who knows no name Welcome me mother The earth here is yawning My body is shaking For want of a flame Down here Got to laugh The kickback is ligtening Drowning Got to laugh This whole mess is frightening I follow the pollen path Welcome me father The lava is rising Welcome me mother And give me your name We've drunk from this wellspring Too long, too long Dividing the hours To measure the time We've lived with this heartache Too long, too long Numbering What's yours, what's mine We've harboured this sadness So long Nursing a voice To sing us our songs Raising a voice To sing us our songs
