LENE MAJJA
Lene Majja keeps pn swirling, She was spawned at the river's source. Lene Majja knows she was born to move. The great waterfall challenges her. The rapids summon her As she hears a new humming.
Lene Majja keeps on twirling, Gets past the weir in the river. Lene Majja sees others confused. There is no danger: She knows deep inside She has never heard the voice that calls her now.
What is that drives her? Who is that keeps her moving? What is that always compels her To go further and further right to the limits? Who inspires her to continue and never to settle for less?
Lene Majja keeps on whirling, Not giving up but dreaming. Lene Majja knows that passes swftly. The others try to stop her And keep her silent! She hears that enchanting voice and moves on.
Lene Majja keeps swirling. Disobedient and cunning, She leaves others to wriggle into the weir net. She passes the mout of the river, Hears the roaring of the sea. She reaches that magical sound And their voices become one
What is that drives her? Who is that keeps her moving? What is that always compels her To go further and further right to the limits? Who inspires her to continue and never to settle for less?
