Mari Boine - Melodies of ancient broken dreams

Mari Boine - Wikipedia

 

Song for the unborn

I feel the wind that whispers through my skin
Melodies of ancient broken dreams
They fill the air and cross the seven seas
Seagulls bring the voices back to me

Sivdnideaddján giittan du go
Šattulmasvuohta vuoitá
Sivdnideaddján giitosat go eallin
Vel ain vuoitá

I recognize a song they sang to me
When I was a child and could not sleep
I open up my heart and start to sing
To you little wing under my skin

Sivdnideaddján giittan du go
Šattulmasvuohta vuoitá
Sivdnideaddján giitosat go eallin
Vel ain vuoitá

All I had to give you is in your bones
All I had to do is let you go

So here I am singing with the wind
Tenderly this melody to you
May you live in peace in this old world
And one day may you sing this
For your own child

Sivdnideaddján giittan du go
Šattulmasvuohta vuoitá
Sivdnideaddján giitosat go eallin
Vel ain vuoitá
