about

Näkki is a dangerous shapeshifter in Finland who takes many physical forms. Like Qalupalik, Näkki will drown those going into water they're not supposed to be in...

lyrics

In lakes, in rivers, and in the sea
In water’s greatest depths
A hand is grasping for a limb
To drown by Näkki’s name

Näkki Näkki Näkki

There a beauty combs her hair
Three breasts tossed side to side
Come in, little children, I sing to you,
Näkki suffocates and bites!

Näkki Näkki Näkki

Under the bridge is a floating tree.
Its trunk is all that’s left
So point at it and throw a rock
While saying Näkki’s name

Näkki Näkki Näkki

I heard the beautiful music
A violin resounds
I played the beautiful music
My kantele rings out

Näkki Näkki Näkki

Down in the well, you’ll see Näkki
Näkki lurks within
That dog, that horse, they could be Näkki
Näkki waits for you

“Näkki to the land, I into the water, do not come take me
I to the land, Näkki back into the water”


Näkki maalle minä veteen, älä tule ottamaan
Näkki veteen, minä maalle
