Lēena ba hel -- Spirit of the fire

I don't think I've translated this so far, though how that can be is beyond me.  I started humming it at work, and, well, the rest is history.

Enjoy!  This is "Spirit of the Fire", with a slightly altered rhythm (which is the way I learned it in English, even..  Somehow this is a less-common rendition of it).  I have no idea who the original author is in English, or if it's copyrighted.  Oh well.  It's a folk song, so let it be free!

Posting this via Vocaroo, since divshare has been ridiculous recently.  I'm loving the audio quality on the kindle's mic.  Awesome stuff.

Spirit of the fire, come to me
I will make the fire

I will make the fire,
I will walk around the holy circle

Spirit of the fire, come to us
We will kindle the fire

We will kindle the fire,
dance the magic circle 'round
We will kindle the fire
We will kindle the fire
