Rake (feat. Natalie Toro & Spirits) [2024 Remastered]

Lemminkäinen’s Mother:

Ah

Hmmm oh oh ah

I won’t ask the sun

I won’t ask the moon

’Cause Louhi’s bidding they seem to do

It's up to me to save my luckless child

He's always been reckless

Passionate and wild

Hair of silver my golden delight

My hero boy I knew would never grow old

Lemminkäinen’s Mother and Spirits:

Could ask the earth, could ask the air

Lemminkäinen’s Mother:

But no one's heard my mortal’s prayers

Lemminkäinen’s Mother and Spirits:

So the roaring rapids are overturned

For the son I yearn to hold once more (hold once more)

The heavens and hell I'll explore

Half of a hand and half of a head

I'll restore you my son

And give you your breath (pah, pah da da , pah pa da da)

Rake and mow and push and pull (pah, pah da da , pah pa da da)

Rake and mow and push and pull (pah, pah da da , pah pa da da)

With prongs of iron (ah)

I will use this Rake (ah)

To carve a way

Back to my wayward babe

Could ask the spirits of the honey bees

To gift me with their precious mead

This bond between mother and son

Could not be torn

I love you, no matter what you've done

Spirits:

Lemminkäinen kaukomieli

Annan sulle hengen vielä.

Hmmm
