Overall Meaning

The Finnish lyrics of Tarja Turunen's song Oasis talk about finding solace in a dark time. It describes how the shadow of goodness covers tears, and taking a step towards someone who has found their way brings peace and lulls one to sleep. The poem goes on to explain how hope remains, guiding one towards the path of love, and ultimately leading to deep salvation.

The lyrics suggest finding comfort through connection and how the struggle can be met with openness, leading to growth and spiritual awakening. The somber tune expresses the vulnerability of this journey towards salvation. It is a reflection of a story of transformation through pain.

Line by Line Meaning

Hyvyyden varjo peittaa kyyneleen,
The shadow of goodness covers the tear,

loytaneen luo vie askeleen.
Taking a step towards finding,

Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa.
Peaceful rest in the cradle,

Toivo jaa, tie rakkauteen.
Hope remains, leading to love,

Tie syvaan vaupauteen
The path towards deep freedom

Damn Tarja could just sing the phone book and will still be awesome and relaxing. Hope she'll get at least as much happiness as she brought to millions of people while using her magnificentandunique voice.

Ella no Mató a Nightwish.. Nightwish la hechó a ella pero su voz no muere, la voz de Tarja es única; Ella era el toque mágico de Nightwish :) su voz es Magia :))

The first time I heard this song..I cried. It was so beautiful that I couldn't stand it. It was 5 days ago and I was synching all of my songs from her album "My Winter Storm." I had just recently bought the album at the mall and I couldn't wait to hear it! This song it amazing, definately one of my favorites on her CD. There's just so much that Gothic instrumental music can do to me... Keep it up, Tarja. Beautiful song, I know there's more to come from you, and can't wait to hear your new album!

I do not find the words to describe how awesome is this piece. It's so full of feeling... And her voice is angelic like always. I can feel this notes touching the deepest strings of my soul. It's like gold of sun, like a blinding white of first snow... I guess I just found the words.

I think this is the best song on My Winter Storm. I would like to hear Tarja releasing more music like this (or only music like this): work that she wrote exclusively, that she poured her heart into, that is not over-produced or written by five different people as well, that is what she wants to sing/play and only what she wants - not what she or others think will sell to old Nightwish fans. Good music transcends marketing categories. Oasis is beautiful, inspiring, and calm. That is enough.

Ligeia Noire

this is Tarja's best song, without a doubt, it is chillingly beautiful.

Marcus Rafael Ferracin

@Catalin Ivancea I would say one of the best counting with NW songs aswell too.

Παναγιώτης Κατιρτογλου

Η Σκιά της καλοσύνης καλύπτει το Σχισμα,φέρνοντας την ένα βήμα προς αυτόν που θα την βρει.Η Ειρήνη έρχεται και σε βάζει να κοιμηθείς ήσυχα σαν το μωρό στην κούνια .Η Ελπίδα παραμένει ένα μονοπάτι της αγάπης και ένα πέρασμα εις βάθος Ελευθερίας !!!

This song has a kind of mystical element in it. As if like the sun with its last rays before the sea horizon. It is so beautiful because there is something there, the brain can not explain. And the only thing you can do is accept it as it is. That is called MAGIC.

I will never forget the first time I've heard this song... Imagine a beautiful beach, sea surrounded by boulders and rocks. The sunset is behind me and I am looking to the horizon. Waves, distant voices. The air still carries warmth and you can feel the breeze. Seagulls everywhere.. flying, walking and searching for food. Peace and quiet, loneliness... and this song

Julio Martinez

This is the most beautiful melody I heard and all my life the sound The Voice makes it epic it's like being taken into a land of pure fantasy

Translated: "Shadow of goodness covers a tear,"
"to one who found (it), takes a step."
"Peace takes over,"
"cradle lulls in sleep."
"Hope remains,"
"the road into love,"
"the road into deep freedom."

i love tarja's voice. i spent 7 yrs getting trained to sing. and for a voice like hers she must of trained pretty damn hard to get the right voice control. My ex introduced her to me when she was in Nightwish. But life goes on and she has moved on I hope to a chance that will last until she retires

I truly believe that there is only one that sings like an angel and no one can sing so beautifully and golden as she and this would be Tarja Turunen. Annette shouldn't be compared... too much of a difference in sound though she should be recognize as a great voice of her own.

Such a spectacular song. Sadly I had no idea she was the old singer of NIghtwish...no wonder my favorite songs from NIghtwish came from her voice!

Iе was first time in my life to met a Finnish written language and sound perception. If this is supported by a perfect combination with the beautiful music, this can be attributed to the category of masterpieces

I just try to enjoy all of it. We've been blessed with truly wonderful music, and it doesn't matter which Nightwish era you listen to, or who you prefer. Old nightwish, new nightwish, Tarja solo, the music is all fantastic. If you don't mind me saying, just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Songs like this prove that Tarja was the special ingredient in Nightwish. They are merely a shell of their former self without her.

It's not a song it's not a melody it's pure magic!

one thing I learned from listening to many Nightwish songs : Nightwish needs Tarja's great voice and Tarja needs Nightwish's incredible musical genius !!!

Hyvyyden varjo peittää kyyneleen, The shadow of goodness covers the tear, löytäneen luo vie askeleen. brings a step to the finder. Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa. Peace gets, and the cradle puts you to sleep. Toivo jää, tie rakkauteen. Hope remains, a pathway to love. Tie syvään vaupauteen. A path to deep freedom.

This song is surely a masterpiece...Tarja's voice is rly like the voice of an angel. The video has really touched my soul and not only because of the music but the pictures... All of them were like Tarja's vioce- piece of heaven. P.S.: Could you tell me where did you get those pictures pls?

Nightwish or No Nightwish, Tarja will be always the best. Her solo album is as such good as her Nightwish albums were. Her songs were like medicine for my depressive moments. I am tired of comparation with Anette. Nightwish just changed the singing style which doesnt mean it sucks now. It is good. But if we talk about VOICE, than we all know that Tarja is the best. I also like Amy Lee, Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel. but I'll always choose Tarja as my favourite. Tarja, thank you for this songs!!

I like the sound of the Finnish language; it's easy on my ears. I've been trying to learn it, but keep getting side tracked so have learned little in the past year.
