This was written some thirty years ago, in Finnish. Later I tried translating to English.
1st Act: How we were born (I know that)
         Land - Man - Living - Regions
2nd Act: Hundred thousand years ago (you hear it)
3rd Act: Waking up


In the valleys of Iran, those dear ones,
when the rivers still kept on flowing
and meadows there restlessy grew
Man woke up to the very first morning

         Dance, children, dance - but where to?

                   northeast - southeast - southeast - north

         Dancing we find us connected

                   nature - myself - the other one - family

We dance in the dried up river valleys
we keep fires at the shores a sacred lake
silently hiding us in the shades of trees
thus getting  you into a hidden cave

                   Baikal - Deccan - Ahaggar - Dordogne!

         CHOOSE!

Beyond the Caucasian wall, in the cold side
in hopelessness of the white plains
our eldest brothers were born

         Choose!

Sensing the the hot smell of resin
we remember the youth of our own
