  • Tuljak has been played since 1934 in every dance celebration (also song celebration). People have compared "Tuljak with Mu isamaa on minu arm, because both of the tunes are very important to Estonians. Music M. Härma, lyrics K. F. Karlson.

    Estoni carissimi, un saluto cordiale dall'Italia. Ho girato il mondo e posso dire che siete l'unico popolo che canta meravigliosamente. Sono commosso dalla vostra unità e dalla vostra musica bellissima. Un abbraccio a tutti voi.

    English translation:
    *Tuljak Dance*
    *Part I:*
    Together:
    The whole parish was herded together,
    the municipality invited together;
    there are all kinds of guests -
    even the Viru elder was asked to join!
    Tony, a worthy groom,
    has asked little Mary to marry him.
    Mary, a nimble girl,
    is marrying Tony.
    *Part II:*
    Men:
    The wedding party is super fine,
    with fifty casks of vodka.
    Wedding stuff was brought together
    as much as they could.
    Ducks and geese were roasted
    probably more than a thousand.
    A whole bunch of guns
    make noise in honour of the wedding.
    Women:
    Wedding, yes wedding,
    with fifty casks of vodka.
    Wedding, yes wedding,
    as much as they could.
    Wedding, yes wedding,
    probably more than a thousand.
    Wedding, yes wedding,
    make noise in honour of the wedding.
    *Part III:*
    Men:
    Is it perhaps the moon
    that is shining to us,
    or am I seeing the sun in the bright shine?
    This is Tony,
    there also his Mary -
    they are walking hand in hand.
    Mary is making a joke,
    then Tony is laughing,
    so that tears are flowing down on his face.
    They are having a beautiful weather,
    their eyes are shining,
    if only they would make it through life like that!
    Women:
    Is it perhaps the moon, moon shining,
    or am I seeing the stars,
    shining like the sun?
    Oh life, oh beauty!
    Look at Tony, and Mary!
    They are going hand in hand.
    Young Mary is making a joke,
    then groom Tony is laughing,
    tears flowing down on his face.
    Oh life, oh beauty!
    A beautiful day, is shining to them.
    Oh if only one could make it through life like that!
    *Part IV:*
    Men:
    Roll the Viru Waltz,
    would like to go dancing.
    Let the Tuljak tune sound well,
    it makes the blood swarm.
    Women:
    Brothers, roll the Viru Waltz,
    we would like to go dancing.
    Play the Tuljak dance well,
    it makes the blood swarm.
    *Part V:*
    Men:
    4x "Tally-ho and tra-la-la!"
    Women:
    The instrument fires up the senses, the dance is spinning the head,
    the boy is asking and mother wants you to go dancing.
    But why are you trembling, jumping so, dear heart inside,
    when a manly man pulls us in his arms?
    *Part VI:*
    Men:
    Maidens, don't be at all ashamed of us,
    when time comes, we may as well marry you.
    A nice horse is laughing in the stable, I also have a fine sleigh,
    a wealthy farm, which I will soon own.
    Women:
    4x "Tally-ho and tra-la-la!"
    *Part VII:*
    Men 1:
    Hey, dear in-law!
    Tally-ho and tra-la-la!
    The dance is fine, the tune jolly,
    let's go dancing then!
    Men 2:
    3x "Tally-ho and tra-la-la!"
    Let's go dancing then!
    Women:
    (Pause)
    What do you want, Tony lad?
    (Pause)
    Yes, let's go dancing too then!
    *Part VIII:*
    Together:
    Tally-ho!
    Men:
    Tony lad and Mary lass are dancing around spinning,
    fill the mugs, raise the jugs with beer!
    Bless the lad and the lass with children!
    Women:
    Tony lad took Mary lass to dance!
    To the lad and lass!
    (Pause)
    Together:
    Let's let live!
    ------------------
    This was by far the most difficult I've done. I divided it into parts because the men and women are singing often different lyrics at the same time, which makes this song so great!

      I think "Hõissa, Tõnni taat viis Manni memme tantsima" (in the end) is actually about Tony's grandfather (father) asking Mary's grandmother (mother) for a dance.

      @eksiarvamus Před 4 lety

      @@inimolend Could be actually, but it would also make sense that the two were referred to as taat and memm after their wedding. Plus the line is followed by a common wish that they get lots of children.

    • @inimolend
      @inimolend Před 4 lety +1

      @@eksiarvamus I think to be taat and memm you need to be at least middle age. :) Even in old times there were vanaperenaine/vanaperemees and noorperenaine/noorperemees and nobody was going to call people taat or memm when they had just married, probably 18 y/o or so and hadn't even had any children yet.
      Also I would "taati memmega laskem elada" would roughly mean "let's let the old man and woman live too".

    Nice name calling. But I never said Estonian culture was "fickle" or that they were "weak". And no country can survive immigrants replacing the native population - it is pretty easy to understand that. Example: If you take Ethiopia and made most of its population German, guess what? It wouldn't really be Ethiopia, or Ethiopian by any stretch.

      +James Thorson Um..no. As an Estonian choir singer, I am qualified to tell you that the choirs don't even get the repertoire until the season of the next festival, i.e. if the festival is in July, the repertoire is announced in September of the last year, so that leaves a few months for practice. Most of these songs are very simple (due to the large number of singers, there's no point in particularly complex harmonies, they're going to be lost anyway) so they're not difficult to learn.

    • @largeradiance
      @largeradiance Před 8 lety +3

      +Futu06 This particular song is rather difficult, though. The reason it always sounds great is because of its long history as part of the festival program.

    • @Futu06
      @Futu06 Před 8 lety +3

      largeradiance I love the song, the only negative I would have is that every time it's "oh god, here we go again..." It's an iconic song, and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just like.. I think a popular Christmas song is a good comparison - like it's not bad, but you hear it every single season, so you can't help but to be a little annoyed. And for what it's worth I think it worked better back when there were fewer singers, because lately you can barely make out what the lyrics are, even more so if you don't know them exactly yourself.

    You are not using the word according to "standard" definition. I have not once indicated that I believe one race is "superior" to another. The reason why you aren't giving me your definition is because you are just throwing the word around like a swear word. You are using it in an attempt to label me - because you do not have an argument and you cannot defend your position. You have to resort to name calling.
