A little fact blast about the song: This song originates at least from 18th century but is pobably a lot older. It was originally sung in Kalevala metre, also known as trochaic tetrametre (a name for particular rhytmic structure in poetry) and tells about longing for a loved-one. Johan Gabriel Porthan, an early Finnish historian and scholar (although at that point Finland was still part of Sweden), recorded some of the lyrics in his work De Poesi Fennica (1766-1778). Later on, Zacharias Topelius elder published some of the lyrics named as "Jauho Runo" - literally ""Flour song/poem", since milling flours by hand-operated millstones was mainly women's work, and this type of lyric poetry was mainly sung by young women. Topelius' version was written down in Kemi, Finland (1829). Elias Lönnrot, complier of Kalevala and Kanteletar also published some of the lyrics in Kanteletar. All in all, Topelius' Jauho Runo was the basis for all later versions of this song. The best-known version was "reconstructed" by V. Tarkiainen in early 20th century, named as "Jos Mun Tuttuni Tulisi." "Jauho Runo" as published by Zacharias Topelius elder in 19th century (from Suomen Kansan Vanhoja Runoja XII1): Jos mun tuttuni tulisi, Ennen nähtyni näkyisi! Sillen suuta suikkajaisin, Olis suu suen veressä; Sillen kättä käppäjäisin, Jospa kärme kämmen päässä. Olisko tuuli mielellissä Ahavainen kielellissä! Sanan toisi, sanan veisi, Sanan liian liikuttaisi Kahen rakkaan välillä. Ennempä heitän herkku-ruat, Paistit pappilan unohtan Ennenkuin heitän herttaiseni, Kesän keskyteltyäni, Talven taivuteltuani. "Jos Mun Tuttuni Tulisi" by V. Tarkiainen (early 20th century): Jos mun tuttuni tulisi, ennen nähtyni näkyisi, sille kättä käppäjäisin, vaikk’ ois käärme kämmenpäässä; sille suute suikkajaisin, vaikk’ ois suu su’en veressä; sille kaulahan kapuisin, vaikk’ ois karhu kaulan päällä; vielä vierehen venyisin, vaikk’ ois vierus verta täynnä.

This poem is probably the oldest Finnish love poem. It is assumed to be created about 2000 years ago. Because there was no written Finnish language at that time, it was transferred to a yonger generation by the oral tradition. Naturally it might have been slightly changed during the centuries. The poems in Kalevala have gone through the same process as this poem. The oldest poems are from 500 BC, and the newest 1300 AD, when the Christinity had won and the pagan traditions weakened a lot. That is described in the last poem, which tells the exit of Väinämöinen. The people don't want him to stay, and so he leaves saying, that in some day in the future he will be greatly missed and then he will return. We shall see.

IIRC the trochaic tetrametre in Finnic languages goes back at least a thousand years, potentially more. Many of the songs sung during Finnish and Estonian national awakenings were constructed on older, orally passed songs.

Kun et kuule määrättyä soitinta tai kappaletta pitkään aikaan, kun palaat siihen se kuulostaa kuten olisit saanut uudet korvat ja sinä kuulet tuttua kuin se olisi ollut juuri sävelletty.

Song about love. The woman tells, she would know her loved from his footsteps when he arrives. She would kiss her loved one even if this was died ("snakes all over arms" and "wolves blood in his mouth") she would lay by her loved to death and in the end she tells her loved one is alive, mouth like honey and hands smooth.

One thing I think is really cool about the lyrics is that it repeats the imagery of how hes wounded/ covered in snakes etc. to either represent how if he is in fact alive that she has a lingering fear that she is still recovering from when he is found alive/beautiful; or that this is the true image of him from the afterlife/ her memories. Its left open and I think thats really cool. I also like how beauty / life and love are all intertwined as well. Like its beautiful if hes alive, not just that hes beautiful. Also comparing his neck to a heather stalk gives the impression of how vulnerable life is

If you go quietly and stay in your room You won't get hurt while your daughter I woo. 'Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy When he's all busy dancing to and fro! One thing I tell you is you won't trap me, No, you won't find me an easy catch. Travel to the east and travel to the west but Ieva and I are going to make a match.

I love this ancient music and melody and I am so sad that in Germany we lost our traditions through the thrity years war, the Prussian military music tradition and the Nazis, who claimed national or ancient music to an ethnic subject. After the second world war nobody took interest of german folk music. A lot of music was lost in the early wars and what's left is a musical mess of prussian songs and 5 or 6 hands full of beautiful ancient songs only few elder people know. There is still no interest in the ancient treasures. So sad.... Your song was published in the 70s in famous german guitar book. Since that time I know this melody but always accompanied it with totally different harmonies - more spanish-phrygian, which musically works, but fails emotional. It has not the longing inside the music as in your version. this one goes right through the heart, also the sound of the kantele does. Thank you so much for sharing.

I will tack at his side, I offer him my lips for a kiss I could take his hand Even if a snake was in his palm, I could put a kiss on his lips Even if they were cadaveric I could lean on his neck, Even if death penetrated his bones, I could lie down beside him, Even if blood would drip... However, my beloved has no lips in blood, Neither has slimy hands like snakes, And his neck does not carry death His mouth is soft as lard, His lips sweet as honey, His hands are as beautiful as gold, And his neck is like a stalk of heather.

Oral tradition goes wayyyy further back, they collected massive number of it from Baltic Sea region Finnic peoples. Some of these were compiled to the largest oral tradition and poem collection in the world "Suomen kansan vanhat runot". The poem-songs go back at least to Bronze Age, majority is from Iron Age. Language has changed during that time, and poem singers modified their songs to the currently spoken language always, gradually, so that both them and the people listening would understand it. The national epic "Kalevala" is based on the collected poem-songs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomen_kansan_vanhat_runot en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala

Lance Mudrow Hi, nice to hear, but dont forget that we finns are not scandinavian but finno-ugrics...unfortunately scandinavian (sweden) ruled over finland hundred of years so ofcourse our grandfathers mixed with scandinavians little bit but scandinavian and finno-ugric people are two very different people groups wich both has own different language, history, and culture.

I'd like to paraphrase The Shawshank Redemption. I have no idea to this day what those ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.

Most Finns have forgotten about this, but until the 1940's or so, we used to vocalize spells in our everyday life. Not every area sung them, some made poetry etc. A spell existed for each occasion in life, from protecting the cattle to luck when fishing and to end sickness. Over 25,000 spells in total have been collected, more than in any other country. If Finland feels like a magical place, it's because it is. ❤ ps. I have nothing to back this up but my own theory, but I believe some of us are drawn into fantasy/anime because of this. It feels familiar. It feels easy to connect with. We are unaware of the connection, but our heritage exists.

A little more on the spells. They were usually not fancy occasions, rather plain and often mumbled in a quiet voice (especially protections). Everyone knew at least some spells but if they failed, there were respected shamans (the correct word is "tietäjä", which has no good translation) in every area to aide in times of need. The shamans different from region to region in both skills and customs.

this song is about great love and great longing for her loved one, who is away. She tells that she would know her loved one even if he was in great distance and she would come for him as fast as smoke moves with the wind or fire moves through the dry forest. When she would meet him, she would kiss him, even if his lips were poisonous and take his hand even if he held poisonous snake in it. She would hug him even if there was death in his neck. And she would sit next to him even if his

A truly gorgeous and evocative song with the feel of very ancient times. It suits the silky smooth voice of Loituma member Anita Lehtola-Tollin.

@@SoulWeasel69 even so, Modern Finnish is a recent development. There is nothing "ancient" about it. There is no such thing as an "ancient" language on Earth. All existing languages are similarly ancient. We can really only say what vernaculars can be traced to the most recent branching off of a parent language, or whether or not a language is linguistically conservative over time, or, if you like, we can use historical attestation to label if a language is older or younger than another. Outside of these, it is not meaningful to compare languages in terms of time. To that end, Modern English in any intelligible form, is older than Modern Finnish. But, Medieval Finnish, maybe older than Middle English (just a hypothetical, as we really do not know because Finnish had no written language until the 16th Century). And so on, and so forth.
