lyrics

Guhkes vuovttat noaiddi niedia
guođoha girjjagiid ja gappaid
davvibávttiin dego dološ govas
Oađđá adjágasas noaiddi nieida

Guhkesvuovttat noaiddi nieda
guođoha girjjagiid ja gappaid
davvibavttiin dego dološ govas
Davvibávttiid gájanasain
juoiga nieida
juoiga

Davvi bávttiin galbma goržžiin
basada noaiddi nieida
ánuha arvvis gatnjaliid
Basada ija arvegatnjaliin
vuhtoda ija galbmon geaŧkamáná

Davvibávttiin galbma goržžiin
basada noaiddi nieida
guhkesvuovttaidis doidá goržžis
Davvibávttid gájanasain
juoiga nieida
juoiga
Gamuidis doida goržžis

…oddá adjágasas noaiddi nieida…
…basada…
…buhtoda galbmon gieŧkamáná…

The longhaired shaman daughter
herds her white and dappled reindeer
On the northern fells as in an old picture
the shaman daughter sleeps, entranced

The longhaired shaman daughter
herds her white and dappled reindeer
On the northern fells as in an old picture
With echoes sounding off the cliffs,
she joiks

On the northern fells in cool waterfalls
she bathes
pleading for tears from the rain
Bathing herself with tears from the rain
Cradles the child, chilled by the night

On the fells of the north
in cool waterfalls
she bathes
With the echoes sounding off the cliffs,
she joiks
bathes her intuition in the rushing water

…the shaman daughter sleeps entranced
…bathes herself…
…cradles the child chilled by the night…

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
