American Reacts to Finland's Patriotic Songs 🇫🇮
Every finn that is watching this video
Like my comment
Im finnish too🇫🇮
I pinned your comment. Let’s see the Finn’s
Hello from finland :D
Suomi perkele!
suomi perkele! :D
Älkää kiroilko
The first song was famous because during WW2 it was used to jam the radiotraffic of russians. The second is dedicated to those heroes and veterans who fought on WW2. - And it is common to sing it in veteran funerals. In the video you can see our map before WW2. - Well.. our Independence day is soon so could you please listen to Jean Sibelius: Finlandia Hymn (if I could choose it would be our national anthem just because no other country would have the same theme ( like now f.e. Estonia got the same theme and if I remember right some african country also got this theme composed Fredrik Pacius.) Our official anthem is called Maamme (Our land). AND I would love to see you reacting to a book called Finnish Nightmeres or 101 Very Finnish Problems (I assume you got library there in Sodankylä..)
The African country, would that be Biafra?
He said in this video that he will react to Finlandia
@@kakeeee7682 He might recognize Finlandia under a different name as it is used as a church hymn with different lyrics in America but Finlandia is the original.
Säkkijärven polkka isn't famous song just because some Finnish soldiers played it. It was already famous back then and it is popular because of entirely other reasons. Finnish soldiers using the song to jam Russian radiotraffic isn't well known information at all.
@@Taistelukalkkuna Yes.
I truly appreciate your interest in learning more about Finland. That first song always cracks me up though 😂 I imagine our grandpas vibing to it.
😂 it’s really fun to learn
Though it was so long the default ringtone on Nokia phones, that I now mostly just think phones when I hear it 😆
@@Aurinkohelmi Yes, I remember Nokia phones had that ringtone but without the singing.
Esa Pakarinen was beloved as a comedy actor and accordion player so old ppl loved him for multiple reason (see Pekka Puupää)
hahaa😂
Thx for sharing these songs. Crying when listening Veteraanien iltahuuto, ” Song of The Finnish Veterans”. Slava Ukraini too. ❤️🇫🇮❤️🇺🇦
Hi im from finland
Hi from finland
Won´t lie. I teared up a little too :|.
As a person of the Ladoga Karelian tribes, this song really made me miss my home
"... sadness and joy at the same time...." That's melancholy at its best. And I can tell right away that you'll bump in to that quite a lot. And through history you understand why.
Yeah that’s very true
Couldn’t think of the word but you’re absolutely right
Moi
melancholy is one of the things that finland has natural, raw talent for.
@@xItzSpruce moi
@@GIOBOZZ Yes and that second song - want to see Finnish patriotism - look at the grown men tear up with that song - well and women too.
We are about 10 days away from Finnish Independence Day. No fireworks. Two candles in the window, and a very formal event at the presidential palace. Also the singing of Finlandia, the national anthem. The English translations I've seen don't do it justice. Among other things the freedom from slavery is mentioned.
Love your passion for Finland!
He will react to it
I know that it's just lyrics but finns were never slaves to anyone
Considering when the lyrics were written, and the war of independence just fought, and the conditions under which Finns had been before independence, then it was a form of slavery usually referred to as surf/surfdom. Many terms and expressions change with time. You are correct that Finn's were not bought or sold as slaves. But the phrase karkoitit orjuuden is that freedom from bondage or slavery or surfdom.
@@susannekalejaiye4351 serfdom, maaorjuus
At home we put the flag at the door too. The only time in the year.
Veteraanin Iltahuuto locks my throat up everytime. I remember vividly the veteran choir singing it, which is one of the most awe rising pieces I've found on youtube. Also my granddad fought in both wars, being wounded 2 times. It was real near if I'm even here.
Dude I love the internet, the most touching comments are always made by some guy named pyllymysli 😭😭 But yeah, I agree! Veteraanin iltahuuto and Evakon laulu always hit me the hardest
@@iija5238 Pyllymysli :D Ei perkele hahaha
The history of Finland is one of the many reason's why I am proud to be Finnish.
EDIT: today is Finland's Independence Day. 6.12.22
Winter war 105 days, Finland 105-years old
Ahhh on ihanaa olla suomalainen🇫🇮🌌❄💪
Totta🇫🇮🇫🇮
Jep
juu
Suomessa on kiva olla/asua.
Näinhän se on
The 2nd song is a recording from the early 2000s where a choir of war veterans sing the chorus, which adds another layer to when the sing "soon are all the brothers gone".
Have been listening Veteraanin iltahuuto A lot since this war started in Ukraine. Cause it's true, we can't never forget what happened!
should've added "jääkärimarssi".
Next round I’ll have it
... and Finlandia, Porilaisten marssi, Maamme
@@jonnah. He has already reacted to maamme laulu
What about songs about the 1918 Finnish Civil War, such as "Vapaussoturin Valloituslaulu" (Marching Song of the Finnish White Army) favored by the Finnish Whites, and the "Punakaartin marssi" (Red Guard's March) favored by the Finnish Reds? It would be interesting to hear his thoughts on the messages of these songs.
@@GIOBOZZ this is good version with en-fi subs ua-cam.com/video/mxyco0zNcaY/v-deo.html
"Säkkijärven polkka" despite being a hilarious song, has actually a darker undertone if you examine the lyrics more carefully. It's a story about the people evacuated from the town of Säkkijärvi, from the area of Karelia. They are now safely living in some other place, in Finland and remembering their old hometown that is now forever lost to the Russian invaders. The only thing that they have left of their old home is this merry tune.
Finlands independence day is coming soon. A good thing to do is to watch the movie Tuntematon Sotilas (Unknown Soldier). It is usually shown in the tv.
The old version is always on TV in independence day
En oo ikinä katsonut enkä aio;)
@@pelleon7738 miks
@@pelleon7738 omg aika edgy
@@ajappinen1007 jeep on tosi ,oo sä vammanen hiljaa🤣
I remember being around 4 when my great-grandfather passed, he was a veteran and the choir singing veteraanin iltahuuto next to his grave as he was laid to rest is a memory I will never ever forget
My grandfather's brother fought in continuation war (?) and he passed away 2022 summer, oldest person in my mom's side
2:36 The Finns played "Sakkijarvi polkka" in all channels in summer/autumn of 1941. It was to prevent Soviet radio controlled mines to detonate and this was a good campainge in general.
1941*
@@ajappinen1007 Olet oikeassa se oli 1941, ei 1944. Korjaan vuosiluvun ylle joten keskustelumme saattaa näyttää oudolta.
You are correct, sir, it was 1941 instead of 1944. I'll correct the year in message above and our chat might seem little odd.
Thank you for your kind words about our beautiful country. We are very patriotic people and I respect you for making this video!
As a Finn, I am happy to see foreigners hear of Finnish history.
p.s new subscriber.😊❤
Thanks
@@GIOBOZZ You’re welcome and thanks for replying,it means a lot!
I like how in the "Veteran's Song" the actual finnish map is the full area before we lost parts of it in the WW2, because Russia decided to get us involved in that.
Sakkiarven polkka! Great song 💪 greetings and love from Poland to Suomi oversea neighbors, allies and friends! 🇵🇱 ❤️ 🇫🇮
Hello! I'm from Finland and its about 3 days in our Independence Day!
My Vaari (grandfather) always listened to Veteraanin iltahuuto (#2) in quiet and solemn respect. He never went into details about his 5 years in front but he was an artillery observer, fire control and messenger. His duties was to escort fresh troops to the frontline and to make sure they got into right unit and as artillery observer he were to guide and correct fire of those batteries attached to him. He had a remarkable record of not losing a single man during his escort duties to the front neither did he lose anyone in his fire control unit as a Vänrikki (sub-lieutenant).
I miss him so much, thank you Vaari for defending our home and fatherland 🇫🇮❤️🇫🇮
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää 🇫🇮
Today is our independence day! Never forget our days of sorrow. Today things are better, but still you have to be alert. Thank's for kind words and hope you like Finland forever! Thank's bro!
Have you heard the Finlandia hymni, that is a song that gives me goosebumps it's majestic.
Had the honor of playing Veteraanin iltahuuto (song of the finnish veterans) at a war veterans funeral not too many years ago. Pretty symbolic.
That second song was tottaly new for me....
Made me thinking my grandparents, who all luckily survived Winter and continuous war...
You got that one right...
that song made me happy while I was crying...😃😃 For all those who died so Finland could stay independent
.
This song almost makes me cry, because it tells about the very hard times in our history.
Very true
you missed Jääkärimarssi "Jaegers March" (Finnish Patriotic Military Song), check it out its badass
I can't wait for you to react to Finlandia! My favourite finnish song.
Really touch my heart as a finn! Bravo! 🇫🇮💙🥰
Just found your channel and I like what you are doing so I subscribed. Also, welcome to Finland (although you've been here for a while already) and I am glad to hear you've liked it here so far. Some people find it hard to cope here, for various reasons so I really hope you'll make it and enjoy living here. From what I can see, you are really getting to know and understand the Finnish culture, history and mentality so it helps you alot. And I can see you already understand the most important things. Language may be the biggest hurdle, but it isn't impossible to learn and the good thing is, unlike English, learning Finnish gets easier as you progress with it.
About this video; the second song always gets me in tears. I heard it first time live, performed by a veteran choir of 900 Finnish and Estonian volunteer veterans of WW2, and it was so emotional I can feel it even today. You can actually find a video of one such performance in UA-cam, and I recommend you watching it too (maybe not for reaction video purpose but just for yourself).
Anyways, will continue to follow this channel for sure. And if you need help with stuff like battling the bureucracy or learning the language or what not, I'd be happy to help. Although I am sure you already have a bunch of Finns offering the same :D
The picture where Finns raise the flag, was from Lappland War, when last Germans left the country.
Unconditional love from Finland, man. You're the BOZZ. Finland certainly welcomes awesome people such as you! I hope I get a chance to greet you in person some day. The way you described your relation to our history brought tears to my eyes. Yeah. Love.
Thank you
This is much appreciated
I am from Finland and this music is my favourite🤣😅
Love how nicely you talk about my motherland Finland, THANK YOU so much man! ❤️💪 Both my grandfathers fought in the wars and survived but never talked about the war.
Thank you for the video and you made it with such respect! Really enjoyed your perspective :)
If you need recomendations i would suggest you check out pohjantähden alla (every finn knows this song), evakon laulu (many different artist have sung this) and Berit - ystäväni muistathan karjalan
If you want some more ancient feeling songs check out hedingarnas - tuuli, the women sing in Finnish and the man is doing a traditional Sami joik :)
I’m a Finnish mother of two and I have never heard either one of these songs. Especially the second song, it should be played at schools. Wow. It really is very touching and I can only imagine the life of my grandmother back then. She was only 3 yrs old, when the war broke and her little brother was 2. They had lost their father to cancer before the war broke so my greatgrandmothet was a single mother of two small kids in the 30’s when the war broke in ’39…
For some reason, mother only send her son to Sweden to safety, but she didn’t send my grandmother. She was here, witnessing the misery and she still remembers the sounds of the airplanes on the skies before they dropped their bombs…
My grandmother is still alive. She’s now 86 yrs old. She is my inspiration and now I have to show this songs to my kids as well, who are 9 and 10 yrs old already.
Thank you for this video. ❤
you should do more of these! there is very much of epic songs like these... like Finlandia
And i can promise that no FIN will forget!!! We are very patriotic people!
Greetings from finland, happy xmas to everyone!
It is awesome you have interest of learning about our history and culture. I'm sure it also explains a bit how we are. Yes we love dark humor, we are reserved and drawn into melancholy, coffee and metal music, but in the end that is how we are adapted to survive dark months.
"You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it." -Finns, probably
Great Finnish songs! Nice words of you 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this! Appreciate it 😊
Thank you for making this video! It's great!
I'm sure you have finnish Christmas songs on your list for next month. Thise are my favorites.
Im pretty happy to find your channel. Im Finnish so this is pretty fun to find something interesting like this.
Listen to "Kauan on Kärsitty" and "Njet Molotoff".
Kiitos! Suomalaisena tämä Lämmittää sydäntäni :) Thank you! As a Finn, this warms my heart
The Finlandia hymn is beautiful if you are familiar with the history of Finland. It talks of the Times before Finland was independent, the famines, oppression and such. The end is upbeat for the hopeful of Finnish future. It does have lyrics but I prefer the original without lyrics.
Hi !! Omg,I have been a sub for quite a time now and always loved your videos reacting to Finland/Finnish things but I did not know you moved here !! ❤❤❤Welcome! You did it 😍
Thanks for this great video! Greetings from Finland!
Thanks for your video and greetings from Finland 👏
I LOVE your channel❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction video! I laughed in the first song with you. You actually pronounced the "säkkijärven polkka" better when you sang it vs when you tried to say it 😄.
Your reaction to the second song was beautiful, the song brought tears into my eyes as my grandfather died in the winter war and I know how hard it made my fathers life in his early years and it bothered him for the rest of his life. Again great video, thank you 👍
I love Säkkijärven polkka so much. I've known the lyrics for like 10 years lmao
Also finnish is a really difficult language. I'm in eight grade but I still dont know all the rules and stuff
I'm sure you can learn it anyway so good luck
Edit: You should try skiing when there is enough snow. It's really fun and relaxing! There are good routes in Luosto, which is like 40km away from Sodankylä.
Finish isn’t hard languaqe stop spreading the rumor
@@uja2183 i think its hard
@@uja2183 It's really hard for many people. There's a lot of grammar and different rules to keep track on. I'm from Finland but I speak swedish and even if I'm in 9th grade and I've been learning finnish for around 10 years I'm still incapable of forming a full sentence.
@@uja2183 One of very hardest languages in the world to learn to a foreigner.
You pronounce "polkka" excatly right, couple times even with right local dialect by adding extra vowel " Polokka"
Hyvä lumipuku päällä tolla ukolla..Pakkasta nyt -26..😂
Stupid horseass..Kela Gold rules..
Oisko tumma poika Tuusulasta pärjännyt talvisodassa 1939-40 -50 asteen pakkasissa..😅
I can really respect people how react to finish things, THANK YOU!!
I loved this video. The first song is something so Finnish, that I used it in the video series that I made some time ago. I played all the 19 regions of Finland for the perfect score in Geoguessr game.
The second one is a beautiful song but I think it's not very well known among Finns which is a pity. It was heartwarming to see how it touched you and made you to be very serious. I have seen how you usually are so smiling and laughing. I really could see how that song touched you.
Erittäin hieno video, my man!! ❤️ from 🇫🇮!!!
Mad respect for you bro. This was such a great video and a great take on finnish history. Yes they went through alot, more than some people might think. Thanks for this review!
You should check out the history behind säkkijärven polkka, lovely video from you. Cant wait for you to learn finnish haha, it'll be a challenge :D
Kiitos sulle, kun otit esille tämän tärkeän aiheita 🇫🇮 ja hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää. Thank a lot about this subject.
Thanks! Love from Finland. 🇫🇮❤
you are great. merry xmas
I'm from Finland and it's nice to listen to these songs🇫🇮
Thank you 😊 le'ts celebrate independent Finland 6.12. This years theme is Finland that has faith and trust on it's self. I'm happy that your interested in our history. One of the worst that has happend in Finland is called isoviha. It's really horrific.
What happend during isoviha has very much similarity that has done to Ukraine civils.
Very much respect for you because I see how much respect you have for Finland. You are brother to us🤝 (edit) Didn't know u live in Finland then you are family!
Great video! I appreciete you! 🙏
Thank you
Thanks bro! Yes, sadness and joy together. There was also a very brutal war against the Germans, when they were kicked off through Lapland to Norway. And they burned almost the whole Lapland to the ground. The picture with the Soldiers and the Finnish Flag is from that war in Lapland.
Im glad i was recommended this video, i just recently started relearning some heritage i wish i had known long ago. My uncle told me of our finnish story. It started before Finland was a country, my great grandmother and grandfather fled finland or what was Russia during the Bolshevik revolution. Had they didn’t i could have been born a pure bread finn or a mix of finn and russian. Anyway they fled to the States and had to leave with a russian passport. They both didn’t get US citizenship until the 40s. My grandmother was pure of finnish blood(unless russia tainted it beforehand) she met a pure bread dutch that inhabited NJ since the 1600s, my dad and uncle were finns and dutch. My great grandmother spent her days being a cook at one point a cook for JFK’s parents according to my grandfather. My dad met my mother who was from a country that went through similar tribulations like finland (Ecuador peru war) and here i am a mutt. Finnish, dutch, spain, and Ecuadorian. I always leaned toward Ecuadorian and finnish culture more since they are similar yet vastly different. Only up to a few months ive tried to reconnect my finnish roots. At one point i hope to travel to Finland sometime after I graduate and really learn the language and the culture of Finns. Sisu🇫🇮
Great video! I am from finland
Holy quandale dingle this guy is so fond of Finland, amazing energy. Also, good luck too. :)
THANK YOU!!!
Million thanks for this video you are doing a great job, so glad to have you in Finland...enjoy! The second song Veteraanin iltahuuto brought tears to my eyes. But Finlandia is in a class of it´s own, the hymn describes everything the people of Finland went through during the war times and there are no words needed just the tones/music says everything needed to be said. It´s impossible to listen to without crying.I was born about 20 years after the war ended and yet my feelings are very strong. That just goes to show how deep in our minds and hearts the wounds from war goes, it takes generations before they heal, we know all too well what Ukrainians are going through. Slava Ukraini!
If you ever learn Finnish, hats off to you sir. 😄
You got a new subscriber!
Thank you
not sure if i was säkkijärven polkka but that song was actually used to detect soviet radio launched bombs and mines... it had such fast frequensy so it blew up soviet bombs from distance loool
Thank you for not interrupting the Veterans song. I owe you my respect.
Amazing video and good luck with learning finnish. It’s hard for us finns sometimes too.😂
Hello! from Finland🇫🇮 wanted to say Finnish song is cool
New sub and im from finland and speak it fluently and im sure you'll get there one day!!
Thank you
Säkkijärvi polkka was present among the van's record collection and to prevent the enemy from operating the mines, they started playing the Säkkijärvi polkka - and specifically the version recorded by Vesterinen - without any pauses. This way the frequency over which the triads used by the enemy to detonate the mines were interfered with to the point that the mines were completely unusable.
As a Finnish person, love your opinion in our language and country ❤❤❤ ps. Also love the way you say polkka :)
As a Finn I find it really sweet when people try to learn Finnish
Gotta love your attitude that becomes visible in many of your videos.
If you are about to visit Pohjanmaa or Eteläpohjanmaa area, drop a note here to get some tips for places to see :D
thank you for reacting to my home country
Thank you for your nice words! Veteraanin iltahuuto is touching. It reminds of sacrifices older generations had to go through less than 100 years ago. There is still few veterans among us but they are getting old. Finland has been in war with Russia every century except this one - yet. I hope it doesn't go to that either. That's one of the reasons why we so desperately want Ukraine to win their war against Russia. Slava Ukraini!
nice video:)
I cannot listen to the second song, Veteraanin iltahuuto, without getting tears in my eyes. My grandfather fought in the war, and the song just makes the events seem so much more real than any books or even films or documentaries do (in my case, at least). Well, the war in Ukraine is like a repetition of those events, just a different time and different target, but the same unprovoked war, trying to take over a peaceful and sovereign country.
Yeah "Veteraanien iltahuuto" is one of my favorites, I used to sing it in choir, perform it with war veterans. It was very emotional and has left me with fond memories.
As a finn I can't listen the second song without getting emotional
hehe, i cant wait to see you speak fluent finnish :DD we can help you out tho! :)
You could say he "finnishes" his education.
@@Taistelukalkkuna lol
Those pictures are probably from Winter war, 15 months later after that Continuation war broke out. Every single time I hear Veteraanin iltahuuto, I remember how many lives were lost... We ARE grateful that they fought at the risk of their lives to save our land. We never forget. ❤️ 🇫🇮
The veterans' song - during WW2, Finland had problems with their eastern neighbor, just like Ukraine has today. Many young men and women never came back from those wars. On Finland’s Independence Day, Dec. 6, my mother taught me to always light a candle in the window ”to lead those who never came back home again”, I still do it.
This is something why Finnish people are melancholic and also as some say happiest people in the world 🌎
I am finnish and this was a great video, I really hope you will learn to speak finnish
I will try for sure
Im from finland and i realy like you doing finlana content and i now evry song you lisent
The picture that's on the screen when the 2nd verse of the 2nd song starts is from the spot where the borders of Finland, Sweden, and Norway meet and the Finnish troops planted that flag to mark the end of the war for Finland as we had drove the last German troops out of Finnish territory. It was also the anniversary of the start of the winter war on the 30th of November, Himmetä ei muisto koskaan saa.
Finlandia Hymni and Jääkärimarssi might be good shouts to have a listen to as well :)
