      More accurately the song is build around an ancient 'snake chant/curse' for healing a viper bite.

Your performance with the three female singers made a BIG impression on me and was my first introduction in Finnish folkrock. The vocal harmonies are stunnning as they were then, and the rhythm is again of that kind that my feet can't keep still! Keep up the good work to make Finnish music known to the world!

    selinnikoi is from Russian "selenyj". It was a habit in Karelia to insert in their songs Russian words or phrases which they did not necessaruly understand at all. After all they were accustomed to hear in the church such phrases (such as "hospotipomiloijaa" = Karelian interpretation of "hospodin pomiloj vas") The theme of the song is a girl who was too eager for marriage and therefore ended up as a slave; she tries to warn others. "selinnikoi.." is not at all connect to the story.

    • @jimbierbaum6868
      @jimbierbaum6868 6 років тому +1

      Do you mean the Russian word селéние? "Village" seems like a perfectly logical recurring theme for the song, connected to a wish that she had not left hers behind to get married, or something along those lines. Most languages have loan words adopted & adapted to the borrower's language (such as the Japanese Resutoran レストラン for restaurant), but that doesn't mean they don't understand the meaning of the word they've borrowed. Are you saying Karelian speakers don't understand 'hospotipomiloijaa" to mean "Lord, have mercy," they just say it as meaningless gibberish they hear in church?

However to THIS specific song, I can't find one.

  • @laurioksanen7607

    The song is about a girl who was so eager to get married that she went outside the villages where she could have support of her kin; kinship / clan identity was very important in Karelia. Without that support, she was quickly reduced to a position not far from slavery. Not necessarily because of marrying a bad guy. It was enough that the guy was weak and could not resist his mother or his other near relatives. Without relatives at place, a Karelian woman was totally dependent on her man

    I knew you were from Denmark because of your Finnish knowledge. I think it is typical for the Danes to know that. :D

    Nice. I am a Finnish and they sing in Finnish but I have difficulties to understand what they say :)

      that's because karelian is actually a separate distinct language. what finns call 'karelian' is just a finnish dialect heavily influenced by karelian language. you can't understand karelian language if you speak finnish.

      well, yes but that's because it's another language. you can say the same thing about learning japanese or whatever.

      This is not another language. It's Finnish.

    I think the reason for young (and many old as well) Finnish people not to like this kind of music is that it sounds too archaic for them, they don't understand the meaning of the songs and cannot put their souls into the music. It feels something their grandparents are supposed to listen to.
    I think on average a young Finn from urban areas understands something like 25% of these lyrics without really studying them.
    Of course I feel we all should be extremely proud of this kind of music!

    @KevinL2k7 Disbanded, no - they took some respite and reorganized (once again). Recordings of the next album have been finalized this autumn and will be released early next year. And they have restarted touring already. Their web page is (still) in statis but the band is in the Facebook.

    @KlingKlang13 I felt the same exactly. Then I remembered that this was in Finland - and thus this is one mode of behavior you could expect from an audience that is totally enthralled - respectful 'silence'. Surely tends to totally freak out foreign bands when it happens - I guess Värttinä just feels to be at home though.
    Also, this place - an old opera/theatre is not the best one to urge people to dance around and sing along - which we see typically to happen in their concerts abroad.

    @travitheMuffinMan What makes this lyrics Karelian in your mind? It woud be very interesting to know more about that.
    This is old Finnish folklore mixed with some Russian refrains, which indicates that it originates from Ingria.

    It's too bad there aren't resources on the Internet for Karelian. I've only been able to learn a few words from Värttinä's songs, and I've tried to translate it, too.

  • @hwilbert47

    @travitheMuffinMan Ok. There is a common mix-up between Karelian dialect, which is a Finnish dialect and Karelian language (or languages). If you talk about Karelian, it is typically interpreted as a Karelian language, which is today almost a perished language.
    You can say that Värttinä sings in Karelian dialect (Finnish), which is a native dialect of Mari Kaasinen. The two other girls are from Helsinki but Mari has taught them sing in Karelian dialect.
