lyrics

Čáppá čeavlás áfruvvá
čájeha geainnu geasa dáhttu
Čáppa čeavlás ábi biigá
čájeha čiekŋala gokko
dáhttu

Bosádehkos davádat báruid

Čáppa čeavlás áfruvvá čilge
nieguid geasa dáhttu
Čappá čeavlás ábi biigá
čorgeda čiekŋala
gokko dáhttu

Belkkos baján geđggiid guovdat
Bossos jorribiegga báruid báktin
Ii ludde baján mearra botnegeadggi
Ii lokte jorribiegga mearrabotne čeavlli




The proud mermaid shows the way
to whomever she wishes
The fair maiden of the sea shows the depths
wherever she appears

Let the north wind birth the waves

The lovely mermaid explains dreams
to whomever she wishes
The fair maiden of the sea purges the depths
wherever she falls

Let the thunderstorm fling the shattering
stones
Let the whirlwind make a crag of the waves

The thunderstorm will not reach the seabed stones

The whirlwind will not raise the proud maiden
from the bottom of the sea
