In the song, the sparrow speaks to the girl and tells her that he's her little brother who comes from heaven to greet her. It's also about generosity. The girl is giving from what small she has without expecting anything back. The lyrics say that God will reward her for the kindness she showed to the poor. Her reward is that it was her brother whom she helped.
Song isn't sad. Its emotional.They aren't the same thing. Many country have happy happy songs but no emotional or touching songs witch is lackness of variety of songs. We have also happy Christmas songs. We can handle greater variety of songs than many other countries.
Hei :)
Terve😊

This is beautiful and beloved song in Finland. And yes many of our Christmas (and other) songs are very melancholic.
Swedish is the second official language of Finland, just like French in Canada. Topelius was a Swedish-speaking Finn.

It's so emotional, that l can't sing or hear it without 😭😭😭
Sakari Topelius was Finnish but Swedish speaking poet and writer. (about 5% Finnish are Swedish speaking even now)
You should react to this song by Marko Hietala at Raskasta Joulua or Vain Elämää also. And Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) overall.
I concur.
🇫🇮♥you for sharing your reaction to my favorite Xmas song.
We finns love sad christmas songs. React to Anna Eriksson - Sylvian joululaulu.
