Finnish filk for Taura (in English)

So, last summer during my trip to Finland, I (and the rest of the Finncon convention) were taken off for an evening party in town in Tampere (pronounced, I discovered, TAM-pere-ae), at a wonderful old venue that looked rather like the interior of The Prancing Pony as seen in the LotR film. Among the ceremonies was an a capella rendering of the following filk song, written in honor of the occasion. Picture about a dozen Finnish fans on a low dais at the front of this crowded room, singing in tune (as I cannot).

I'd been meaning to post this for a while, but I'm rather glad I didn't, as it would have been lost in the MySpace meltdown.
