Beautiful Finland's seaside from a German documentary about the Baltic coasts and a rendition of the story about the origin of iron from Kalevala.
Veera Voima is a Finnish folk singer who specializes in rune singing. Her project "Myths of Making" is based on the birth myths of Kalevala. This is a short version of her song "Raudan Synty" (The Origin of Iron): I've taken most of the instrumental part out because I just wanted to listen to the calm singer's voice, you can hear the full song at the singer's official web page: www.veeravoima....
Thanks to the Old Man Moon for translating it for me XD
TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Yes I know the birth of iron
I understand the origin of steel
Water is the oldest of brothers
Iron is the youngest of brothers
Here with us the nights come alone
Alone the dawn comes
Alone is born the Maiden of Death
Maiden of Death the Mother of Earth
Alone is born, alone grows
Alone is born, alone grows
At the vast open marshes
swinging in quagmire pendulum
Laid asleep in grass so good
Earth's girl low maiden
Laid asleep in grass so good
on top of a beautiful heath
forgot her bosom open
forgot her bosom open
and spilled to the ground her milk
thus trickled the white liquid
From bosom so ample
From nipples of the maiden
Where she exuded the black milk
there was the origin of soft iron
Where she oozed the white milk
there was the origin of steel
Where she seeped the red milk
there was the origin pig iron
Wolf ran along the marshes
The bear roamed the isthmus
The marshes rose beneath the wolf
The isthmus at the paws of the bear
There arose the iron
There grew the steel
at the footsteps of the wolf
by the paws of a bear
Will not born iron
without fiery fire
and will not become tough
without immersing into water
Water is the oldest of brothers
Iron is the youngest of brothers
LYRICS:
kyllä tieän rauan synnyn
arvoan alun teräksen
se on vanhin veljeksiä
rauta nuorin veljeksiä
yksin meillä yöt tulevat
yksin päivät valkiavat
yksin syntyy tuonen tyttö
tuonen tyttö maan emonen
yksin syntyy yksin kasvaa
yksin syntyy yksin kasvaa
suon avoilla maan navoilla
heilurilla hettehellä
nukkuipa nurmelle hyvälle
maan tyttö matala neiti
nukkuipa nurmelle hyvälle
ja kanervalle kaunihille
auki rintansa unohti
auki rintansa unohti
ja lypsi maahan maitoansa
niin valutti valkiaista
utareista uhkuvista
nänneistä nimettömistä
Se kun lypsi mustan maion
siitä saatiin melto rauta
ja kun valkein valutti
siitä tehtihin teräkset
sekun puikutti punasen
siitä saatiin räkyrauta
susi juoksi suota myöten
karhu kannasta samosi
suo nousi suen jälessä
kannas karhun kämmenille
siihen nousi rauta ruoste
ja kasvoi teräs karanko
suen sorkkien sijoille
karhun kämmenen perille
eipä synny rauta raukka
ilman tuimakkaa tuletta
eikä kasva karkiaksi
ilman veessä kastamatta
vesi on vanhin veljeksiä
rauta nuorin veljeksiä
