lyrics

Hyppään yli pyärtänöltä
Riskut katkon närehiltä
Pahoja pakohon pimentohon
Piilohon mettän siimeksehen
Omav väjen huurelles
Viarahav väjen etties

Kompastelen
Kompurootten
Näköökö silimäni enää
Kajastusta?
Auteresta?

2x

Eremmäs, eremmäs
Kun et jo mene!
Kaarun…
Ylähän äkkiä ja nopiammin
Eremmäs, eremmäs!

2x

Pirätä!
Eremmäs!

Vainolaanen kantapäillä
Verihurtta pohkehilla
Jäliillä
Eremmäs, eremmäs
Kohta täälä

Anna rauha riivatullen
Jaharattuna
Kaarettuna
Uhurattuna
Lyätynä

Haparooren eremmäs
Härihnäni piremmälle
Näen se tuloo saako mun?
Hipaasoo jo osuuko?

In English:

Leaping over an embankment
Snapping branches from spruce saplings
Escaping malevolent into the darkness
Into the shade of woods to hide
As my own folk calls me
Unfamiliar folk seeks me

I stumble
I scramble
Will my eyes still see
A break of dawn?
A haze of morrow?

2x

Further, further
Why don’t you go already!
I fall down…
Up, quickly and faster!
Further, further!

2x

Stop!
Further!

A pursuer on my heels
A bloodhound on my calves
They’re on my trail
Further, further
Nearly here

Give peace to the wretched
As chased
Hunted down
Sacrificed
Subdued

Stumbling further
Frantically forward
I see it coming, will it catch me?
Grazing already, will it hit me?


Just a reminder: the translation doesn't fully correspond to the Finnish version. It's basically impossible to translate perfectly since there are lots of words that don't exist in English and there are not that many equilavent words in English to describe them. Especially since we are using South Ostrobothnian dialect. Our language is very rich with words, and that is what makes it so special and poetic. Hopefully the translation will still give a good enough picture of the subject of the song.
