Harri's translation of the original Finnish poem by the late Jorma Sevon.

Nevermore
Music by Yrjö Mikkonen
Lyrics by Harri Peltola
Original Lyrics by Jorma Sevón

No, nevermore can selfish vanity
Ignite the heart to sing a song
A song in which humanity
Rings from heart to heart throughout the earth
A song in which humanity
Rings from heart to heart throughout the earth

Like unto shade, self veils the sun
All life wilts, decays and fades away
Like the north wind is its ice-cold breath
The vernal flowers freeze to death in May
Like the north wind is its ice-cold breath
The vernal flowers freeze to death in May

When you realize that this is the way it is, my friend
Let the warmth of understanding’s breeze
Dissolve away those shadows of the sun
And then from the blossom to the flower
You may hear the whisper

The earth is theirs, it belongs to them
Who place their trust in the force of love
And understand how weak ‘s an individual
Whereas the strength of many unlimited
And understand how weak ‘s an individual
Whereas the strength of many unlimited
If the multitude is unified by love
