The Song of Tuomi, the Hare, and the Fox

Well, this is a story about a boy named Tuomi
and music was his joy
he took his strings out into the forest
and he sat himself down there.

His friend was a hare who came hopping along
and sat by him for a while
and Hare said, Tuomi, if you were like me
we would always be together.

And then a fox came along and said, Hey kid,
I have an idea for you –
if you play and you sing with all your might
you can be with your friend forever.

So Tuomi played and he sang until his voice ached
and the bright cold forest rang
and he sang and he played until his hands bled
and he turned himself into a hare.

He sang himself into a hare's form,
he sang himself into a hare
and then he and his friend went hopping along
together – forever! – they said.

Well the day grew long and he didn't come home
and his family was worried
so they went in the forest and had a look
thinking they would find him there.

But all they found were his strings and his mittens
in the place where he'd sat down
there were animal tracks all running around
just a fox and two little hares.

Now if they'd looked closer they would have seen
what was right before their eyes
that Tuomi's boot prints led to that spot
and leading away was only the hare.

He sang himself into a hare's form,
he sang himself into a hare
and then he and his friend went hopping along
together – forever! – they said.
