Translation of the song Kuin korpi nukkuva artist Korpiklaani

Niin kuiskii kesäyönä

The swamp is whispering in a summery night

Suo kuin korpi nukkuva

like a sleeping forest

Sen puissa latvat huojuu

In it the treetops are waving

Kelorungon ruumiina

As a dead tree's trunk

Ja alla makaava

And underneath lying

On unessansa iloinen

happily sleeping

Kuin käydä kävellen,

Like being on a walk

Tie kukkii ja on tasainen

The road is steady and blooming

Vaan kenen karjatiellä

But on who's country road

Voi niin kuulla laulua?

are you able to hear singing?

Kun laulaa laajaa maata

When through a broad land is singing

Suo kuin korpi nukkuva

the swamp like a sleeping forest

Sen tien on aika

The road has been cast

Jaloillansa valanut

by time itself

Siks' polkunsa tuon tuntee

That's why the one back home

Kotiinsa taas palannut

Know's it's path

Tunnen sen

I feel it,

Olen täällä vieraana vaan

I'm here only as a quest.

Vieraita laaksot

Unfamiliar valleys,

Jäänet jo unholaan

Have already been forgotten.

Outo on minulle

For me weird is,

Harteiden paino

My shoulders' weight.

Tuntematon

Unknown,

Kaino tyttöni on

My sweet girl is.

Tunnen sen,

I feel it,

Kuiskii hiljaa kaipausta

Quietly whispering it's yearning.

Orpoja niityt,

The fields are lonely,

Niiden maa on musta

Their land is black.

Outo on minulle

For me weird is,

Hallavan peitto

the frosts cover.

Tuntematon

Unknown,

Neito unien on

is the lady of dreams.

Siell' huiskii heinämiehen

There flailing a farmer's job,

Työ kuin kuohut koskien

like the foam of a river.

Sen vaahto kivet pukee,

It's froth covers the rocks,

Tasainen on virta sen

It has a steady stream.

Kun kohdalleni osuu,

When it arrives to me,

Tuoksuu tuoreet heinäset

The fresh hay's scent.

Niittää en saata

I won't harvest,

Tuot' vanhaa soista maata

That old swampy land.

Kun astun viime askeleen

When I take my final step,

Voi kuolleen kukkasen

That lady can pick up

Jo poimia tuo neito

the dead flower.

Uneni kuin tietäen

Like she'd know my dream,

Etten unesta herää

That I won't wake up from it.

Alla harmaan kelon

Under a gray trunk,

Jos aika elon

If the time of living,

Käy läpi kaiken pelon

goes through all fear.

Tunnen sen,

I feel it,

Olen täällä vieraana vaan

I'm here only as a quest.

Vieraita laaksot

Unfamiliar valleys,

Jäänet jo unholaan

Have already been forgotten.

Outo on minulle

For me weird is,

Harteiden paino

My shoulders' weight.

Tuntematon

Unknown,

Kaino tyttöni on

My sweet girl is.

Tunnen sen,

I feel it,

Kuiskii hiljaa kaipausta

Quietly whispering it's yearning.

Orpoja niityt,

The fields are lonely,

Niiden maa on musta

Their land is black.

Outo on minulle

For me weird is,

Hallavan peitto

the frosts cover.

Tuntematon

Unknown,

Neito unien on

is the lady of dreams.

Tunnen sen,

I feel it,

Kuiskii hiljaa kaipausta

Quietly whispering it's yearning.

Orpoja niityt,

The fields are lonely,

Niiden maa on musta

Their land is black.

Outo on minulle

For me weird is,

Hallavan peitto

the frosts cover.

Tuntematon

Unknown,

Neito unien on

is the lady of dreams.

Tiedän, ei elo vain

I know, that living

Huomisen vuoksi

just for tomorrow.

Tuntuu kuin hetkestä

It feels like from a moment

Askeleet juoksi

the steps ran away.

Nyt aika katoaa,

Now time is disappearing,

Haihtuu varjoihin

Fading in to the shadows.

Kuin rauhaton

Like restless,

Ja poissa uneni on

and gone is my dream.
