A Winters Tale Lyrics

Ya soto karno kina

Ya sene marap nukuyana kiala rakea

Na panga karno hea

Raka pila marno hea

Storms on the march, and a wintry gale

And cold spirits roaming freely

I journeyed on, till I found a small nook

For the camp and shelter weary

Such moans, such wailings

I looked about in great fear

It seemed as the creatures who roamed the night

Congregated to mock who passed here

Ya soto karno kina

Na panga karno hea

Ya sene marap nukuyana kiala rakea

Soto kina

Na panga karno hea

Ya sene marap nukuyana na ya kiala na ya rakea

So sheltered I from this windswept night

When a presence I did feel

I looked up, something caught my sight

Lo a figure did appear

A grey cloak, a wild beard

A shade, or was this for real

I checked my weapons and raised my hand

For to bid that he come share my meal

I thank you sir, came a trembling voice

That it seemed was close to tears

So sad it seemed, as he'd carried the weight

Of the world for many years

Then drank we wine and

We rested there till the dawn

Through the night he spoke of long ancient days

And a fire inside me was born
