Lyrics Korpiklaani – Old Tale

Old tale about the girl,
And the poor farmer boy,
Their time together flamed.
It couldn’t last forever,

So they took from the moment,
Everything
So they took from the moment,
Everything.

Said father to the maid,
It’s time to go,
You’ll marry my chosen one.
He’s rich enough and religious,
He’s the lord of all known.

Who is the chosen one,
Asked girl with sad eyes.
He’s a lord from the west,
He is to you the man best.
But the girl was sad as a child.
The girl carried the farmer’s child,
And father noticed that.
You’ll die, he yelled,
You’ll die as a whore,
You belong to the gallows,
Then I’ll bury you and your goddamn sins.
The boy heard, that girl got hung.

He took the sword
And cut her father’s throat.
Then he rode to the chasm
And fell down to his death.
