In Minnesota, this song is sung at the end of the night as a long dance after a big Finnish dance party!
How interesting, thanks for the info on these celebrations by the Finnish communities in the USA, I didn´t know they were so dedicated in the preservation of their culture, this is really nice to hear for us cultural activists for minorities!
What is it called?
@Villager Human Rights Council people all over the world seem to forget their history and traditions more and more, sadly... modernisation is important, but the old should always be remembered because it paved the way for the new to arrive.
I have, or at least had family in Minnesota, haven't heard from them in years, it's a small world.
@@HandleMyBallsCZcams The Finnish community in Minnesota has great music and dancing. Whole towns were populated by Finns who worked in the Iron mines up in Northern Minnesota. We call it the Iron Range.
Minnesota had large ethnic populations from Norway too...whole towns in Norway would empty out and meet back up in places like Spring Grove, Minnesota.
We still have a good, active folk music and dance community - Covid has mad it hard to dance - But I am helping to put on some "Dancing Alone Together" zooms for our community!
Kiitosa paljona!
(a Kvääni-Finnish dialect)
I sing in the only Kvääni choir in the world "Kvääni Äänii" and we have to have this as a part our repertoire! Such a beautiful voice! Kaunis!
Immediately grabbed my mouthharp, now this is my sisu jam
This language is beautiful!

Anythingnew, are you sure it has tones? I´ve never heard that Finnish was a tonal language, whereas Norwegian (Bokmål) and Swedish are, of course the latter two are Germanic, thus Indo-European, while Finnish is Ugro-Finnic.

Well, I think you may have a misguided notion of the concept of tones in linguistic terms. Tones are not shown on paper (except in specialized phonetic transcription) and belong to the spoken language, changing the meaning of the words, according to their ascendint, descending, etc quality and Finnish does not have them, as far as I know (and I´m really glad it doesn´t, smile!). Maybe you meant their intonation of the sentences.
You´re welcome! I´m glad I could help.
Tonal in the sense that each village has own tones so you know where you belong and where they come from. But not tones in morphological sense, only semantic and pragmatic levels. And sadly, when you move to big city to study or for work, the tone is the first thing you´lose.
Perfect voice, lovely language, beautiful song...love it! Greetings from Unkari!
Greetings from Turkey, This folk Song is so awesome. Hyvä 😍🤩🥰
The uralic people's awesome
Thanks
One two three four, as a hungarian so much I understand, almost the same in my language 😂
Still a beatiful song, grettings for my distant cousins!
@Sam G49 Yes, Veri on hungarian is Vér, very similar!
Also the finnish word menna/mennä is menni/menne.
We can say a lot of similar words still are there, the closest one for the hungarian language is still the hantik language, since we are from the southern Ural, you guys are from the northern. But nice to see, there are still a lot of mementos from our once-shared-history!
👍👍
Makes sense, both Finnish and hungarian are uralic languages.
Sadly, mostly only around 5 uralic still exist due to russification in east..
Hi from Mari, we are finno-ugric 😉
@@user-ko4fq4vm9r then I am from Uralic-Altaic because I am from Turkey
Magical tune. Thank you for sharing this excellent piece of Finnish folk art!
LONG LIVE FINNLAND ...FROM ARMENIA !!!
🇦🇿🇹🇷
Had no idea how much I have been missing from Finnish music. Better late than never.
Wow never heard this before and I’m originally from Finland. Now at 40yo and having lived away for half of my life in the UK I have such a draw to Finnish folk music. I sang this out loudly with windows open. No doubt the neighbours thought I’ve lost my mind and am speaking in languages 😂😵
Wow😂
Hyvä nainen!!!
I've lived in the US all my life and recently discovered my Finnish roots. I just started learning the language. Such a beautiful language and culture that I'm proud to be a descendant of.

Hailing from the far south, Tbilisi, Georgia, I just listened to this song for the first time. Wonderful, brilliant, bringing all the deep emotions of beautiful land of 1000 lakes to me. I would like to listen to more like this, and to know this beautiful language. Love from the first hearing.

Thanks for the explanation, Painajainen, I don´t speak the language but I also hear it with an initial 'p' , i.e. the word 'paarmat'.
Jo Alex Sg+ Finnish doesn't use the letter 'b', except in foreign words, so it has to be 'paarmat'.
And that´s what I can hear, Spankeyfish, as I said.
*rummun päälle
... а перевод содержания песни можете ,кратенко....
Ни слова не понятно , но звучит просто магически 😍как заклинание
Действительно - всегда, когда слышу финскую речь, перед глазами предстают сцены из Калевалы, старинные языческие обряды и волшебники. Есть что-то загадочное в этом языке.
@@user-pi1gc4cy3i kiitos) On vielä paljon, mitä et tiedä meistä)

@@vittukaapo7313 А я хочу выучить финский, но не знаю с чего начинать :(

You have a great and sweet voice, i love the sweet female voices.
I don't know speak finnish, it's a new language to me, i'd like to learn it. Greetings from Temuco, Chile 🇨🇱 ✌️
I don't understand a single thing, so I'm grateful for the lyrics u write.
This music has calmed me down when I was about to overload with negative emotions. I thank you so much.
News: I have been invited to share my songs and stories as the Finnish Tradition Bearer at the Harvard University's Sanders Theatre, December 14 - 29. If you are in the area, please join me to celebrate the Nordic Christmas Revels. Tickets are available at the Harvard Box Office.
Hi! Any idea how old can be this song? Is that original melody?
I am amazed by your voice. ;)
I am looking for possible the oldest songs of North Europe :)
en oo koskaan kuullu tätä, vaikka tutkinu suomen historiaa ja perinteitä ihan kissojen ja koirien kanssa, ihan mahtava
I listen to this song for the very first time and I love it!!!
The Voice, the language, the tune - just perfect! The drum plays the rhythm of a heartbeat. It reminds me of swedish Polska. And the first part of the tune sounds very much like the famous La Folia. Thank you so much. Greetings from Slovenia!
Kiitos kauniista laulusta ❤❤ sinulla on niin kaunis lauluääni ❤❤
Amazing!!
Aitaa mahtava! Absolutely marvellous!

This is very beautiful! Please, continue singing to us! You now have a russian fan!
I wish you could come and sing for us at the Midsummer Festival which takes place in Estes Park, CO every year.
Many Nordic folk(and non-Nordic), gather and have a wonderful time celebrating the cultures and start of the summer.
I’m having fun learning & singing along w you. I am half Finn from MN, and my grandpa spoke fluent Finnish. It was a super cool language but I didn’t have the patience to learn in my youth.
Thank you for sharing these fun songs, you were definitely brought here to do this.💕grandpa & grandma are smiling down as I sing your songs with the spirit and love that comes with growth & gratitude.
Thank u 🙏🏼
Very peaceful, I like it :)
Thank you Maria and Jarona, so glad you enjoyed the song :)
lovely voice..
..and rhythm!
This might make a good waltz.
One, two, three, four
Please be happy
Because sorrow comes
Let him go:
Horseflies singing
Four mice jump
the cat jumps on top of the drum
The whole world roars
Would this make sense as a translation??
Crank Cuffin i think instead of 'because' sorrow comes it would better fit if it was "when sorrow comes, let him go" :) and the part about being happy I understood rather to be "let (us/them/me/you/him) be happy" very hard to translate outside of finnish because of the passive form
Mersk wow, thanks for the explanations!
Crank Cuffin, thanks for the translation!
Maybe instead of 'jump', 'jumping' would fit better
I think it is "Anna, iloinen, olla" which would be "let it be, happy one" or "forget about it, happy one".. But it's not an easy line.
Beautiful 😍 language
:) jeejee ihana kappale :)
Working on an English translation and transcription to banjo, also a time signature change to suit the stringed instrument array here.
🇫🇮✊🏻
I don't understand anything :( but the finnish language sounds so beautiful!!!
It's great! Best wishes from Russia. ❤
Todella hauska laulu,
Olen samaa mieltä, ihana laulu
Wonderful song. I hope we are relatives after all...Greetings from Hungary :)
Tämähän on kekrin ajan laulu. (Kekri on syksyinen sadonkorjuu- ja vainajien muistojuhla, suomalainen vastine halloweenille)
se on vaega ilus laula
jotain niin kaunista mutta niin surullinen
Икте, коктыт, кумыт, нылыт....как на марийском :)
Привет!

Wonderful... Thanks. Von Hamburg aus reiste ich 1963 nach Finnland, und bin seitdem dem Land und der Musik verfallen.
which instruments are used?
I'm interested. Is the similarity between this tune, and La Follia mere coincidence?
1, 2, 3, 4....
From my extremely limited understanding of the language, there are a bunch of first numbers in the words.
NotOrdinaryInGames one two three four let me be happy
:D 4 of them to be exact!
The melody is actually a very well known tune across Europe. Google ”La Folia”.
Oh - Händel's famous Sarabande from his Keyboard Suite in D minor HWV 437 has much in common with the tune too.
who goes chorale
Finnish lyrics, please? This song is awesome.

Are you sure it is "baarmaat"? There is no "b" in finnish language. "Paarmat " measn horseflies nad its sound logical. Or maybe it is word from the ancient language? Coud anyone answer me? :)
It is "Paarmat". The line in English is "Horseflies are singing, Four mice are jumping.
I have learned it with "Baarmat", I guess it's that in the original lyrics. No idea if it's dialect of some kind or just playing with the language.
MorningAurora Yes there is! "Banaani" :D
I am singing this song now, for the people of Ukraine. It is devastating to see the imperialism, racism, colonizer madness of the "Russian President"...He would destroy the world completely if only he could be known as the one who wielded such power...I am sorrowing and this helps some.
What does the "lyöpi" mean?
I see. Thank you :)
It can mean several things.
"Lyö" means "to strike", "Lyöpi" is indeed an eastern dialect, however "lyö" has a wider use.
"Lyö vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on
"Pane vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on
Lyö in this instance means "put your clothes on", but the context means that you should do so quicker or the like.
"Kissi lyöpi trummun päälle" could mean "The cat strikes the top of the drum", or "The cat jumps on top of the drum", or "The cat turns the drum on".
Please tell the lyrics 🙏🏻
Love from Ukraine

This melody sounds very similar to this one: czcams.com/video/vlUSPrFWnyo/video.html
Lampaan Polska. Satutko tietämään tähän niitä pitempiä sanoja? Olivat muistaakseni hiukan "rekilaulumaiset" ainut pätkä minkä niistä muistan oli "mitähän ne maksaa, kaksi rotanp******, kallihia ovat. ovat kallihia." Sitä kanssa mietin, että milloin tämä La Folia melodia on tähän lauluun liitetty ja onko sillä joskus ollut joku toinen melodia? Hieno esitys joka tapauksessa. Kiitos tästä videosta.
Kuten hienosti tunnistit, tämä on ns. La Folia -melodia, jota on käytetty useissa länsimaisissa lauluissa. Tämä on yksi tunnetuimmista suomalaisista sanoituksista, johon viitataan muissa sanoituksissa, että lauletaan tällä melodialla. Muista sanoituksista tulee mieleeni ainakin Kekri-laulu "Ei aina kekriä kestä, Ei aina tupia pestä,...". Tuohon kekri-lauluun on myös oma sävel. Eli variaatioissa löytyy!
