Aulikki Rautawaara sings Solveig's Song & Cradle Song
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Perhaps both winter and spring go by
along with the next summer and the whole year,
but I know for sure that one day you will come;
and I will surely wait as I last promised.
May God strengthen you, wherever in the world you go,
may God give you joy if you stand by his footstool.
Here I shall wait until you come again;
and if you wait up there,
we will meet again, my friend...
Sleep, my dearest boy!
I will cradle and guard you.
The child has sat on his mother's lap.
The two have played all day long.
The child has rested on his mother's breast all day long.
God bless you, my joy!
The boy has lain close to my heart all day long.
Now he is so tired.
Sleep, my dearest boy...
