Mánu mánná
The child of the moon
has skin smooth as silk
So pale, almost white
The colour of milk
Her hair falling down
with traces of gold
Lightens the night
of darkness and cold
Her laughter is soft
Her smile so bright
The look of her eyes
is a capturing sight
The child of the moon
takes a walk through the air
Lets some light in
to the souls of despair
Mánu mánná, mánu mánná
mánu mánná, mánu mánná mánná
Mánin mánná, mánu mánná
mánin mánná, mánu mánná mánná?
When she arrives
she's singing a song
A melody of joy
that echoes for long
Every one who's around
wants to embrace
her appearance of love,
beauty and grace
But into her heart
there is no way
Night is her friend
She's gone in the day
She is the one
to ease up your fears
But who is to dry
her own moonlit tears?
Mánu mánná...
Manin mánná, mánu mánna manai?
[Reverse] Sami Translation:
Child of the moon
Mánu mánás
lea liiki dego silki
Nu šoavkat, meastui vielgat
Miekki ivdni
Guhkes vuovttat
gollešealgadat
Skábmaija
čuvggodahttá
Bohkosat litnásat
Modji nu šearrat
Čalmmážiid čuovga
bisseha máilmmi
Vácci áimmu čađa
mánu mánná
luoitá čuovgga
láhppon sieluid sisa
The child of the moon
is leaving
Why is the child of the moon
leaving?
Lávllu
son ihtá
llu šuoŋain
Guhká dávista
Gait máilmmi olbmot
hálidit joksat
su čáppa, fávrru
ja ráhkis sielu
Muhto su váimmu ohcii
ii gávdno bálggis
ljain guoimmastallá
Beaivet ii dihtto
Son lea dat
gii luvve du heđiid
Muhto gii sihkku
su iežas mánu čuovgi gatnjaliid?
The child of the moon...
Why did she leave?
