Korpiklaani Off to the Hunt song lyrics

Rapids and fields, be merciful.

Oh, Tapio, show me your grace.

Show me the way to the islands.

Let me wander through the woodlands

where the elusive game is,

where I may at last find my prey.

In the traces of Hiisi's moose,

throught the paths of savage deer,

for the hunt I was now chosen

for the pursuit I am leaving.

Through the woods of Tapiola,

by Tapio's huts ad lodges.

Ukko, you supreme creator,

the architect of all we see,

now betow me with decent skis.

Please grant me proper snow-shoes.

They ought to carry me briskly

while I am skiing through these swamps

through the woodlands of Lapland,

by the marshlands and the meadows.

Should rivers appear on the way,

should a creek be laid before you,

then build a bridge out of silk

and make stairs of scarlet color.

Direct the deer through sounds and straits.

Steer them through those streams and waters

through the river of Pohjola,

through enormous frothy rapids.
