Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nFor the past three years
\nI’ve been listening to the tune
\nOf my crowbar striking another stone
\nThe bitter song of Korpamoen<\/p>\n

This is my domain.
\nI’m the ruler of the land
\nCome behold my royal kingdom
\nAnd my subjects<\/p>\n

Rock and rubble, grain and gravel,
\nstone and shingle<\/p>\n

Kristina <\/strong>
\nTurn Your Grace upon us, Lord
\nAnd protect our crops from ruin and decay
\nGive us bread this day
\nGrant us now our harvest
\nThrough Christ Almighty,
\nour Lord King in Heaven. Amen<\/p>\n

Wait … and listen to me, please…<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar<\/strong>
\nWhat’s the matter, something wrong?<\/p>\n

Kristina<\/strong>
\nI keep thinking about us … the children going
\nhungry.<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar<\/strong>
\nI don’t think I understand.<\/p>\n

Kristina<\/strong>
\nWell, it’s just that … if we don’t … then there’ll
\nno new little mouth to feed.<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nSo you would want us to deny
\nThe joy of love, the sweetest joys forsaking
\nNot to touch, or feel you, as years pass us by
\nAnd soon they go! Too soon they fly!<\/p>\n

Both <\/strong>
\nI feel your breathing peacefully
\nThe two of us at rest when day is breaking
\nAll my heart I give you an all my life through.
\nAnd where you go I go with you<\/p>\n
