Stone Kingdom [Finnish translation]

Karl Oskar

For the past three years

I've been listening to the tune

Of my crowbar striking another stone

The bitter song of Korpamoen

This is my domain

I'm the ruler of the land

Come behold my royal kingdom

And my subjects

Rock and rubble, grain and gravel,

stone and shingle

Kristina

Turn Your Grace upon us, Lord

And protect our crops from ruin and decay

Give us bread this day

Grant us now our harvest

Through Christ Almighty,

our Lord King in Heaven. Amen.

Wait...and listen to me, please...

Karl Oskar

What's the matter, something wrong?

Kristina

I keep thinking about us...the children going hungry

Karl Oskar

I don't think I understand

Kristina

Well, it's just that...if we don't...then there'll be no new little mouths to feed

Karl Oskar

So you would want us to deny

The joy of love, the sweetest joys forsaking

Not to touch, or feel you, as years pass us by

And soon they go! Too soon they fly!

Both

I feel you breathing peacefully

The two of us at rest when day is breaking

All my heart I give you and all my life through

And where you go I go with you
