Wedding Song [Finnish translation]

[EURYDICE]

Lover, tell me if you can

Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?

Times being what they are

Hard and getting harder all the time

[ORPHEUS]

Lover, when I sing my song

All the rivers'll sing along

And they're gonna break their banks for us

And with their gold, be generous

All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand

The river's gonna give us the wedding bands

[EURYDICE]

Lover, tell me if you're able

Who's gonna lay the wedding table?

Times being what they are

Dark and getting darker all the time

[ORPHEUS]

Lover, when I sing my song

All the trees gonna sing along

And they're gonna bend their branches down

To lay their fruit upon the ground

The almond and the apple

And the sugar from the maple

The trees gonna lay the wedding table

[instrumental break]

[EURYDICE, spoken]

So when you sing your song

The one you're working on

Spring will come again?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

Yes

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Why don't you sing it then?

[ORPHEUS]

It isn't finished

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Sing it

You wanna take me home?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

Yes

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Sing the song

[ORPHEUS]

La la la la la la la...

La la la la la la la...

[EURYDICE, spoken]

How'd you do that?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

I don't know

The song's not finished though

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Even so, it can do this?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

I know...

[EURYDICE]

(spoken)

You have to finish it!

(sung)

Lover, tell me when we're wed

Who's gonna make the wedding bed?

Times being what they are

Hard and getting harder all the time

[ORPHEUS]

Lover, when I sing my song

All the birds gonna sing along

And they'll come flying from all around

To lay their feathers on the ground

And we'll lie down in eiderdown

A pillow 'neath our heads

The birds gonna make the wedding bed

[EURYDICE]

And the trees gonna lay the wedding table

[ORPHEUS]

And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands
