about

Through this song I rediscovered the strength of traditional music.Because it was passed on through generation after generation in oral tradition, it could only survive for us to hear it because it was so good and the community kept on singing it. In a way every single person who sang it contributed to it, and when I sing it I feel them all backing me up an probably that's why I've made make a noisy bar shut up and listen attentively while I was playing this song.

lyrics

(english translation below)

Kuin oisin omilla mailla
oman pellon pientarilla
oi dai
oman pellon
oman pellon pientarilla

toisin lintu laulelisin
toisin kukkuisin käkönen
oi dai
toisin kukkuisin
toisin kukkuisin käkönen

omat kuuset kuuntelisi
omat oppisi petäjät
oi dai
omat oppisi
omat oppisi petäjät

nyt oon mailla vierahilla
tuiki tuntemattomilla
oi dai
tuiki tuntema
tuiki tuntemattomilla

miss ei lennä meiän linnut
eikä vaaku mein varikset
oi dai
eikä vaaku
eikä vaaku mein varikset

jouvuin joutsenjoukostani
jouvuin joutsenjoukostani
oi dai
jouvuin joutsen
jouvuin joutsen joukostani

tok mie lintu laulelisin
sekä kukkuisin käkönen
oi dai
toisin kukkuisin
toisin kukkuu kukkuu kukkuisin käkönen

translation:

As if I was on my own land, my field
my birds would sing differently, the cuckoo sing differently
my trees would listen and learn
now I'm on strange land, all unknown
where our birds don't sing and our crows don't crow
I got lost from my flock of swans
surely my bird would sing and my cuckoo sing differently
