Once when we were returning from a battle We got lost in a gloomy forest In the middle of the woods we saw an old house With tired minds we knocked the door very loudly Old woman opened the wooden door She asked us to come in with kind words From her pot arose a scent so weird Stunning and bitter but very summoning Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast Or it might even unleash the beast in me She filled out pints with that devil's beverage And served another round with a hideous grin The world was spinning in a new light I saw Everything and everyone was singing this song With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest We are one; let our singing rise up into the stars The witch's magic drum was still beating hard When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared Drink and dance people of the forest sing with us Who wants to brawl with me? Who can shape a kantele from a pike's jaw? Like the great one once did Close your eyes calm your mind and drift away from the pain Beyond dreams into the depths of the cauldron Like a rain it falls and mirrors nature's healing powers Surrender this time and relief you shall find Catcher of souls hunter of spirits Grant us the final drop of the life's elixir I want to drown all my misery into the green trolls blood And brown swamp drink fight against diminishing time Burden of a solitary warrior's life
