Syksy-sarja = Autumn song cycle

Song Cycle by Leevi Antti Madetoja (1887 - 1947)

1. Syksy 
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Lehdet lentää, tuuli käy, 
kiiltää märkä maa, 
syksyn ilta hämärtäy, 
tähti tuikahtaa... 

Suvi suven jälkehen 
kuihtuu, taakse jää, 
halki kylmän kyynelen, 
muisto välkähtää...

2. Lähtö
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Yksin 
meren kuultoa vasten ja taivaan, 
yksin 
yön vihkimä vaaraan ja vaivaan. 
Ah, hyvästi jääkää! 
Konsana en minä palaa. 

Ankkurit poikki ja pohjaan! 
Itseni irti nyt ohjaan. 
Sallikaa, jumalat korkeat, 
kantava tuuli 
sille, ken kutsunne kuuli! 
Luokaa lempeä hauta, 
ellen ma yllä 
kunne mun sieluni halaa!

3. Luulit, ma katselin sua
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Luulit, ma katselin sua,
kun minun silmäni loisti:
katselin kadotettua...
Katselin hattaravuoria,
katselin tähtien merta,
siltoja taivahan kaaren...
Siellä, ah, siellä näin kerta
onneni saaren...

Luulit, ma kuiskasin sulle,
kun minun ääneni värjyi:
kuiskasin kadotetulle...
Haastelin harpulle alltojen,
soivalle ilmojen tuulin,
sykkeelle syksyisen taulun...
Sieltä, ah, kerta ma kuulin
onneni laulun...

4. Ilta
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Saapuu hetki toivottuni,
Lankee uupuneeseen silmään
Kauan kangastellut uni.
Hyvät yöni heitän sille.
Yöhön käyvän sielun tähti
Viimeinen sa olit mulle.
Jo on hetki pilkkopimeen:
Siunaan sydämesi suuren,
Menen maata Herran nimeen.

5. Lintu sininen
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Lintu sininen, pursi ilmojen, anna,
että katson merta sulkien!
Lintu sininen, istu kädellen, anna,
että äänes kultaa kuuntelen!

Lintu sininen, satu satujen,
tule, tule mulle iloks' iltojen!
Lintu sininen, lennä povellen,
laula, laula mulle laulu sydämen!

6. Ijät hyrskyjä päin 
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Ijät hyrskyjä päin 
käy purteni näin 
ohi maiden ja rantojen 
kiidättäin. 
Yö, ystäväin, 
arvaatko minne 
mun kiire on näin? 
Pois itsestäin! 

Niinkuin ei kenkään 
mies olen irtain, 
itseni vanki, 
kiertämä, kaartama, 
syyn sydänvirtain! 
Ijät hyrskyjä päin, 
pois itsestäin! 

Veen läikkäinen, 
kuink' oot sinä vapaa 
ja onnellinen, 
kun helmin, särkyvin, 
helisevin 
käyt ulappaan 
pois raukeamaan! 

Ma hukkasin 
kaikk' aartehet maan. 
Mut itseni milloin, 
ah, milloin ma itseni 
hukata saan! 
Ijät hyrskyjä päin, 
pois itsestäin!
