Puun syndy
Description of the lyrics:
Big group of siblings head out to cut the grass of the sea. As they compile the reeds into piles, the Northern wind sets the reeds on fire and Southern wind scatters the ashes that are left. There is almost no ask left, just enough to wash a childs head and eyes. Only a little pile of ashes is left and it is taken to Mother and asked where to put it? Mother tells to put it to the calm back of the sea, where there’s a rock with many colors and red reeds. After three years of wind and seven summers, an island is born between two seas. On that island an oak grows.
