Vesku Jokinen - 1939 (lyrics)

Vesku Jokinen - 1939 (lyrics English)
Like a wooden snowflake
The chip escapes in the wind
He carves a cradle
For the unborn child
To the ravenous country
He gives his life
And carve on the oak tree
Miss you deeply

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then

He remembers the village road of the house
Autumn shadow there
When passed the end of November
Got the order to go
Now on the frozen lake
He looks to eternity
And the sky will see when
Crossing the border

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then
He sees the room warm
When the shots stop
He sees the cradle rocking
When he closes his eyes now

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then
But Christmas will still come when peace covers the earth
And a day without war I can come home
I can come home
I can come homeLike a wooden snowflake
The chip escapes in the wind
He carves a cradle
For the unborn child
To the ravenous country
He gives his life
And carve on the oak tree
Miss you deeply

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then

He remembers the village road of the house
Autumn shadow there
When passed the end of November
Got the order to go
Now on the frozen lake
He looks to eternity
And the sky will see when
Crossing the border

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then
He sees the room warm
When the shots stop
He sees the cradle rocking
When he closes his eyes now

It's Christmas night, but those cannons are roaring non-stop
It's Christmas night, but the soldiers didn't get Christmas peace
But Christmas will still come when I can be with you
And a day without war we will meet then
But Christmas will still come when peace covers the earth
And a day without war I can come home
I can come home
I can come home
