The Sons of Tellervo

I come from the deep forest

I am one with the trees and paths

The night comes fast and far

And my brothers are free as the eagle flies

The camp fire crackles and shines so bright

We raise our wooden pints and drink

Singing long throughout the dark night

Until the forest ceiling cracks

And down come the sobering light

I wander with the old ones by day

Hearing tales of men and gods

Of gods and women and men

Walking with the wolves as we sing

Of times when the wind whispered your name

It is the time of feasting

And the bow pulls taught and snaps

The arrow flies far and finds its home

Gather the mushrooms and berries

Tonight we feast on the offerings of Tellevero

Goddess of the forest we raise our tankards high

We eat this meat in thanks of you

We drink this because it tastes so good

The sun is high and we've no worries of sin

This ale tastes so good and out stomachs are full

The night comes fast and the night goes far

Flames dance high and flames dance bright

We raise our tankards and raise them high

Our legs love to dance and arms reach the sky

Come my child and dance with my

Ill tell you tales of the mother you never knew

With hair like fire and a smile so bright

As you entered this world

Ajatar stole her away into the night

I grew up with the bears and wolves

I call these woods home, no desire to go

My belly is full and my heart is too

I live life a child of the forest

Proud and mighty a son of Tellervo
