Shaman Drum — текст песни (Kopriklaani)

I`ve wandered with the folk of the woods
Wisdom I`ve learned from the oldest one
He said: "do not fear me"
And led me to downwards
I saw big aperture in the ground
When he asked me a question
"Do you know what is this hole in the ground,
Do you know the meaning of this?

[Chorus:]
I wondered and wondered
`Cause I knew
If I won`t know the answer
I`d never get a shaman drum
And personal ability
I wondered and wondered
`Cause I knew
If I won`t know the answer
I`d never get a magic drum and personal ability

Oh yes, this is the place, where you`ve get
Your spirit to your voice
We stepped through into the earth
And we walked to the river of witches
The river flows two ways I saw
And the old man had a uestion
"You see the water flowing both ways
To the south and north
Do you know why, do you know why?"

[Chorus]

Then I saw old grey wolf, it came to me
And whispered to my ear:
"The northern flow born from the water which dead has been bathed and the southeren flow born from the water which washed a new-born child"

Old man looked at me and the wolf he said:
"Now you have a leader and the truth.
When we go back home, you`ll have your drum of your own
And you`ll know how to use it:"
