My dear finnish translators,

someone sent me a mp3 file with a finnish song. I've no idea about "what for a song" it is.. Someone could help me? I'm terrible curious..

I put the file on my site, so it's possible to ear it from address:

www.italiano.pl/finlandia.mp3

Thank you for your answer..... See more

Lyrics in Finnish and English - without the gibberish part (see first link) Scroll all the way down, it's the last song on the page.

I had never heard this (what a shame) but it really brightened up my day! Thanks for posting

Cumulus perhaps Oct 26, 2006

The text is here:

Naapurista kuului se polkan tahti

jalkani pohjia kutkutti.

Eevan äiti se tyttöänsä vahti

vaan kyllähän Eeva hänet jutkutti (=huijasi)

sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa

kun me tanssimme laidasta laitaan.

Salivili...


Eevan suu oli vehnäsellä (= pulla, mutta tarkoittanee tässä hymyä)

kun ihmiset onnea toivotti.

The text is here:

Naapurista kuului se polkan tahti

jalkani pohjia kutkutti.

Eevan äiti se tyttöänsä vahti

vaan kyllähän Eeva hänet jutkutti (=huijasi)

sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa

kun me tanssimme laidasta laitaan.

Salivili...


Eevan suu oli vehnäsellä (= pulla, mutta tarkoittanee tässä hymyä)

kun ihmiset onnea toivotti.

Pää oli märkänä jokaisella

ja viulu se vinkui ja voivotti.

Ei tätä poikaa märkyys haittaa

silloin kun laskee laidasta laitaan

Salivili...


Eevan äiti se kammarissa

virsiä veisata huijuutti. (= huojuva ääni)

kun tämä poika naapurissa

ämmän tyttöä nujjuutti (= viedä lujaa, tanssia)

Eikä tätä poikaa ämmät haittaa

silloin kun laskee laidasta laitaan

salivili...


Siellä oli hauskaa soiton jälkeen

sain minä kerran sytkyttää

Kotiin kun mentiin niin ämmä riiteli

ja Eeva jo alkoi nyyhkyttää.

Minä sanon Eevalle, mitäpä se haittaa

laskemme vieläkin laidasta laitaan

salivili


Sen minä sanon, että purra pitää

ei minua niin vain nielaista.

Saat mennä itse vaikka lännestä itään

vaan minä en luovu Eevasta,

Sillä ei tätä poikaa kainous haittaa

sillon kun tanssii laidasta laitaan

salivili

In the 1970 the folk-group Cumulus sang this traditional piece (polka), but according to my wife this is a new recording. Sounds the same to me though...

It's about Eeva's mother who tries to watch her daughter, but Eeva slipped off to the village dance anyway.

Regards
Heinrich

I listen to this song every time someone gives me a call on my mobile phone - which always causes people around to give me pen and paper to write down the discographic data for them.))

Later, I found the text on the Internet. However - thanks, Heinrich, for your standard finnish translation. Although I found out most of the original text, it has been a real help to me. ▲ Collapse
