Interrogativa Cantilena - Korpiklaani

If all the world were paper

And all the sea were ink

If all the trees were bread and cheese

How should we do for drink?

If there had been no projects

Nor none that did great wrongs

If fiddlers shall turn players all

How should we do for songs?

If all the world were sand’o

Oh then what should we lack’o

If as they say there were no clay

How should we take tobacco?

If there had been no projects

Nor none that did great wrongs

If fiddlers shall turn players all

How should we do for songs?

If all our vessels ran’a

If none but has a crack’a

If Spanish apes ate all the grapes

How should we do for sack’a?

If there had been no projects

Nor none that did great wrongs

If fiddlers shall turn players all

How should we do for songs?

If friars had no bald pates

Nor nuns had no dark cloisters

If all the seas were beans and peas

How should we do for oysters?

If there had been no projects

Nor none that did great wrongs

If fiddlers shall turn players all

How should we do for songs?

If all things were eternal

And nothing their end bringing

If this should be, then how should we

Here make an end of singing?

If there had been no projects

Nor none that did great wrongs

If fiddlers shall turn players all

How should we do for songs?
