Haudat ja henget

lyrics

Kaivan esivanhempieni sukuhaudat auki;
maatuneita luita, haljenneita ja porattuja kalloja
sekä polvelta toiselle kulkeneet perintökalleudet:
katinkultaa ja kulkukauppiailta vaihdettua rihkamaa.

Mikä teissä on kunniakasta, ei voi nostaa minua.
Mikä teissä on alhaista, ei ole minun kantaa.
Mikä teissä on hyvää, ei ole teistä lähtöisin
vaan iäistä ja ajan virroissa muuttumatonta.

Tämä veri, joka suonissani virtaa, ei ole teidän.
Kaikotkaa, mykät ja levottomat henget!
Tämä veri, joka suonistani virtaa, on yksin minun.
Sillä maalaan merkkini kätketyn paaden kylkeen.

English translation:

THE GRAVES AND THE SPIRITS

I dig open the family graves of my ancestors;
decomposed bones, cracked and trepanned skulls
and the heirlooms passed from generation to generation:
fool's gold and baubles traded from wandering merchants.

What is honourable in you, cannot exalt me.
What is deplorable in you, is not mine to bear.
What is good in you, is not of or from you
but ancient and unchanged in the streams of time.

This blood which flows in my veins is not yours.
Begone, mute and restless spirits!
This blood which flows from my veins is mine alone.
With it I paint my mark on the side of this hidden stone.
