Lirieke: Metsatöll. Iivakivi. Merehunt.

Raudahalli metsakoera
kulmi kihvu kraapind hallas
merehunti puuda murdnud
ulgumarus tulevallad

Viilav-rajul tuuleiilil
rasiv-rebiv, soolaparkund
nagu kalgis tormivees
merehunt, va armiv hall

Hunt, merehunt
armid on parkunud marude soolas

Hunt, merehunt
hallides silmades uksildus vaid
Hunt, merehunt
igatsus merele kihuvalt koormas
Hunt, merehunt
ja meeled tais piigade murtud sudameid.

Marud lainelaukad rohmind
meritoves toiraharga
laevapohjal peksnud vahtu
surmavarju leegiparga

Hingesopist leidnud haavad
rebind lahti, kulvand soola
roskest rannust tudimusel
raja otsind kodusooja

Maruhuue kaigub taamalt
hellaks kisub mehe meeled
kopsu soolaohku kimub
satib sammud taas kord teele.


English Translation (Seawolf)


Hound of waves gray as iron
Frost has gnawed his frozen back
Tempests on the high seas
Tried to tear down the seawolf

Whirling gales and bursts of wind
Gnarling, brine-soaked, weather-beaten
Face callous from stormy waters
Seawolf, you marred mariner

Wolf, seawolf
Scars weathered by the salty squalls
Wolf, seawolf
Nothing but loneliness in fading eyes

Wolf, seawolf
Yearning for the sea a burdening urge
Wolf, seawolf
And mind filled with maids? broken hearts

Tempests, bogs of waves thrashed
To seasickness rendered the hulk
Bilge beaten to foam
By the flaming wreath of death?s shadow

Wounds found in the nooks of the soul
Torn open, salt sowed
Weary from damp journeys
Finds a way back homeward

Cries of tempests echo from afar
Seaman?s soul grows sore
Breathes in salty air
Sets out back to sea
