lyrics

Čiŋat gos munno ciŋat leat
Lea bat munnos oba čiŋat ge
Ruškes vilges čuovgi dáža skeaŋkkat
Ruškes vilges čuovgi dáža skeaŋkkat

Vuoiŋŋa mu maŋos eallimii
Gálgga gálgga mu eallimii

Čiŋat gos munno ciŋat leat dál
Du ja mu čiŋat gos dat leat
Gihlit giisávuođus vuordimin
De soai manaiga ozadit

Vuoiŋŋa mu maŋos eallimii
Vuoiŋŋa mu maŋos eallimii

Don dihtet mun ledjin rájá al’
Don oidnet fitnin rájá al’
Sivalašvuođadovdduin duššamin
Sivalašvuođadovdduin duššamin
Vuioŋŋa mu maŋos eallimii
Gálgga gálgga mu eallimii

Our festive garments
Where on earth
did all our colours go?
Do we actually
have anything
to dress up with?
Tainted whites
a shining stranger’s gifts

Breathe me back to life
Unchain and free me

Festive garments
yours and mine
Where are they?
Suitor’s presents still awaiting
at the bottom of the chest
So
off they went
wanting to find out

Breathe me back to life
Breathe me back to life

You knew I stood there
right by the edge of the cliff
You saw
I’d been to the shadowlands
My face was sinking
sinking to the deep
All saturated
about to drown in guilt

Breathe me back to life
Free me back to my life

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
