Here Under the Northern Star. A Musical Interlude.

This is a Finnish song which is supposed to be quite hard to sing. I think its sole aim in life is to present as many Finnish h-sounds as possible. But I have a soft spot for the sadness of it all.

A rough translation:

1.

Here under the Northern Star
on the highest of hills
I look far into distance
you return to my dreams.

Here under the Northern Star
the sky fills with purple
it makes me a blanket
to shelter me.

2.

And under the Northern Star
I come
I leave
and only in the sight of the Northern Star
I shed a tear for you.

3.

Here under the Northern Star
a singer is full of sorrows
here the moon gibbous
is also melancholic

Here under the Northern Star
frost slides into the soul
and by killing all feeling
it rips the heart apart.

Repeat of 2.
Repeat of 1.
Repeat of 2.
Repeat of 2.

Sniff.
