Gáhkkor
son čuorvu nu čáppa jienain
Šerreš jienain

De áddja fierpmui
Vuolvojávrris
Juohke eahkeda earet bassin

Go de iskkai daid firpmiid árrat
gáhkkoraš lei nu darvánan
sorbmanan

ja nuppi gáhkkora gulaimet
morašteame juohke ija
Guoimmi váillahii nu

Gáhkkor čuorvu
Morašta

Sánit/lyrics & Nuohtta/comp: S.Jannok

The black-throated diver
she cries with the most beautiful sound
a clear sound

And my grandfather put out his fishing nets
Into Lake Vuolvojarvi
every night except Sunday

And when in the early morning he emptied his nets
the little diver was caught
was mortally wounded

And we heard her beloved
mourning every night
sadly missing her other half

the diver is crying
Grieving

Jorgalan/translated by: Marja Skum
