Lyrics and translation Mikko Kuustonen - Kylmä Kuningatar

Kylmä Kuningatar

Otin kärpän nahkaviitan
Parhaan ratsun satuloin.
Sinä nukuit harson alla,
Yksin lähtömaljan join.
Vallinhaudan synkkään veteen,
Upotin sen sinetin.
Riippusillan ylitin, raskain sydämin.

Refrain:
On aika mennä,
Kuolisin jos jäisin,
Kylmä kuningatar.
Tänään vuorilta tuulee,
Mutta sinä olet jäisin,
Kylmä kuningatar,
Kylmä kuningatar.

Palan leipää mursin laukkuun,
Viinileilin varasin.
Isän jousi neljä nuolta,
Ehkä kauriin kaataisin.
Teen tulen tammilaaksoon,
Sen joenpoukamaan
Ja pyhään maahan peitän viitan kuninkaan

Refrain

Eivät naurattaneet narrit,
Eikä linnan vanhin viini.
Itkin salaa niinkuin aina,
Itkee harlekiini.

Refrain

Ice Queen

I took my ermine cloak,
I saddled up my best steed.
You were sleeping under the gauze,
I drank my farewell cup alone.
Into the dark waters of the moat,
I sank its seal.
I crossed the drawbridge, with a heavy heart.

Refrain:
It's time to go,
I would die if I stayed,
Ice queen.
The wind blows from the mountains today,
But you are still so icy,
Ice queen,
Ice queen.

I broke a piece of bread into my satchel,
I filled my flask with wine.
My father's bow, four arrows,
Perhaps I'll shoot a deer.
I'll make a fire in the oak grove,
By the bend in the river
And in the sacred ground I'll bury my king's cloak

Refrain

The jesters didn't make me laugh,
Nor did the old wine of the castle.
I wept in secret as I always did,
As a harlequin weeps.
