| Sorrow is my bread | |
| And tears | |
| I drink as wine | |
| Oblivion my happiness | |
| Ground under teeth of time | |
| For cold be the stone | |
| When frost ve devoured the land | |
| Consolation is no gift | |
| Of winter's icy hand | |
| Chorus: Upon a crust of snow | |
| I'll lay my broken frame | |
| What steel and iron won't take | |
| I'll give in winter's name | |
| No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave | |
| No groom for brides of plaited hair | |
| This man old and lame | |
| If only I could breathe | |
| To see the sun of may but still longer are the nigths than days | |
| As I wither away | |
| Came the man of crown | |
| With sound of war drums beat | |
| Said no sword arm's strong enough | |
| Without my two good feet | |
| Chorus But not overlooked am | |
| I In eyes of the maid | |
| I'll wed I'll reap the crops of | |
| Tuonela My bride's wealth in death |
