Текст и перевод песни Jesse Kaikuranta feat. Kaihon Karavaani - Tonttu

Tonttu

Pakkasyö on, ja leiskuen
Pohja loimuja viskoo
Kansaa kartanon hiljaisen
Yösydän untaan kiskoo
Ääneti kuu käy kulkuaan
Puissa lunta on valkeanaan
Kattojen päällä on lunta
Tonttu ei vaan saa unta

Ladosta tulee, hankeen jää
Harmaana uksen suuhun
Vanhaan tapaansa tirkistää
Kohti taivasta kuuhun
Katsoo metsää, min hongat on
Tuulensuojana kartanon
Miettivi suuntaan sataan
Ainaista ongelmataan

Aitat ja puodit tarkastain
Lukkoja koittaa nytkyin
Lehmät ne lehdoista näkee vain
Unta kahleissa kytkyin
Suitset ja siimat ei selkään soi
Ruunan, mi myöskin unelmoi
Torkkuen vasten seinää
Haassa se puree heinää

Lammasten luo käy karsinaan
Makuulla tapaa ne ukko
Kanat jo katsoo, pienallaan
Istuu ylinnä kukko
Kopissa vahti hyvin voi
Herää ja häntää liehakoi
Tonttu harmajanuttu
Vahdille kyllä tuttu

Vaiti metsä on, alla jään
Kaikki elämä makaa
Koski kuohuvi yksinään
Humuten metsän takaa
Tonttu puoleksi unissaan
Ajan virtaa on kuulevinaan
Tuumii, minne se vienee
Missä sen lähde lienee

Pakkasyö on, ja leiskuen
Pohja loimuja viskoo
Kansa kartanon hiljaisen
Aamuhun unta kiskoo
Ääneti kuu käy laskemaan
Puissa lunta on valkeanaan
Kattojen päällä on lunta
Tonttu ei vaan saa unta

Gnome

It's a freezing night, and the flames
Are crackling in the hearth
The people in the quiet manor
Are fast asleep in their beds
The moon is silently on its way
And the trees are covered in white snow
The roofs are covered in snow
But the gnome can't sleep

He leaves the barn, steps into the snow
And peers into the darkness
In his old-fashioned way
Towards the moon in the sky
He looks at the forest, where the pine trees are
Protecting the manor from the wind
He ponders a hundred ways
His eternal problems

He inspects the barns and shops
And tries the locks
He can only see the cows in the meadows
Sleeping with their chains on
The bridles and reins don't bother
The stallion, dreaming with them
Standing against the wall, dozing
He chews on the hay in his stall

He goes to the sheep in the stable
And finds them all asleep
The hens are already watching him, small as they are
The rooster sits highest
Awake in his kennel, the guard
He wakes up and wags his tail
The grey-haired gnome
Is well known to the guard

The forest is silent, under the ice
All life lies dormant
The river roars alone
Humming behind the forest
The gnome, half asleep
Hears the passage of time
And ponders where it leads,
And where its source might be

It's a freezing night, and the flames
Are crackling in the hearth
The people in the quiet manor
Are fast asleep in their beds
The moon is silently setting
And the trees are covered in white snow
The roofs are covered in snow
But the gnome can't sleep
