Värttinä - Nahkaruoska

[fredericfranc]

...a band fronted by three cavorting Finnish women shaking their rear ends at the audience should sound kind of bad...but it largely doesn't...

[shialtin]

Great performance. On a shallow note, the hotness of the clarinet player manages to distract nicely from the camel-toe on the left :)

[vincentjacque]

I remember, wheb Värttinä came in Brussels, at the "Ancienne Belgique", they tried to make the audience singing. Of course, the reaction was very shy. And Mari Kaasinen said "How is this possible ? Finnish is yet such an easy language!" :o)))

[EneriGiilaan]

@vincentjacque :D

And I thought that in Belgium they had it always like in Dranouter 2008:

watch?v=aLUw_omR2ok

Despite the poor sound quality it seems that both the band and the audience are just rocking!

[vladoMY]

Ai niin...now I understand what should that circling of hands over head mean :) skvelý preklad :))

[TropicalJesusPlant]

id fuck the one in red

[TheSvartHelvete]

this is a great video! a nice performance!

[topsamite]

PS I just love that kind-of Charlie's Angels pose at the end.

[topsamite]

Excellent! Out of interest, as commenters have asked, this is a "girl power" song about a wife who finally tells her unfaithful husband to get lost and chases him away with a leather whip (a "nahkaruoska"). The sound "vivivivivivivi" = "whackwhackwhack"!

[NotOnlySelfLover]

@topsamite Excellent. It's a shame that there is such a lot of wives who wouldn't do so today.

[jozco]

Johanna Virtanen rocks ! >:D

[Plasvi]

rankka nimi näinkin hilpeälle biisille.

[tpmm1]

Entirely acoustic and with all this expression... Fantastic this can exist this day today!

♪♪♪♥♥♥♫♫♫

[aasa63]

Plasvi: onpa sinulla rajoittunut ymmärrys. aivan upeaa kansanmusiikkia ja vaatteetkin mitä sopivimmat. yritäpä vähän laajentaa maailmaasi.

[Bastiest]

Onpas rankka nimi näin hilpeälle biisille. :P

[wolwerone]

beautiful harmony !!:)

greetings from italy ;)

[jbog1618]

This has become one of my favorite Värttinä songs. I love the message contained and their stage presence is just amazing.

[puttepossu97]

hieno kappale

[LeslieWolf71]

Hail Finland! Many greetings from Hungary! Next year I'll visit that beautiful country!!!

[gargamel11a]

Well, I just want to learn by heart piece of that song. So, could you write me 1:18 to 1:40 what they sing? Please write me in Finish. Thanks a lot Suomi.

[sailor73tre]

Vaimo viekas ja vihainen, viekas ja vihainen

äkkiouto ärhenteli, outo ärhenteli

Ei oo aittahan assiita, aittahan assiita

vällyn alle vänkäämistä, vällyyn vänkäämistä

Tuolla ruoska roiskuaapi, nahkaruoskaa roiskuaa

siellä vitsaa vinguttapi, vivi vivi vivi vivi vinguttaa

Tuolla ruoska roiskuaapi, nahkaruoskaa roiskuaa

siellä vitsaa vinguttapi, vivi vivi vivi vivi vinguttaa

[FrankLine001]

And what does this means? Could you write it down in english, please :)

[2008IQ]

Hard to translate. Ancient and difficult finnish words and expressions. Starts with "An angry shrewd wife" being in the wrong mood, I guess, saying NO to a man thats trying to get under her blanket! Then there´s lines about a "leather whip" that I dont understand either. Dont worry, I´m a Finn myself and even I dont understand what the hell is going on in the lyric! But I bet its something worth expressing!

[TheTeresu]

Here is used "old finnish" So it may be a bit hard to understand :), but i love värttinä

[topsamite]

Very nice. Checking out the lyrics: this is a "girl power" song. It's about a wife whose husband is philandering, going through all the farm girls in town. She decides it's got to stop, so kicks him out, sending him on his way with a leather whip "Nahkaruoska" and hitting him with a cane ("vivi" = "whack"). I just love that Charlie's Angels pose at the end.

[Schlangenkaiserin]

I have had this song in my head all bloody day...great song until you end up singing "vivivivivivivivi vinguttaa" while you are trying to go to sleep.... I suppose it doesn't help that I am now watching the video....oh well.

[wendigo666]

Music is fine but I can't stand their voices.

[gargamel11a]

Oh god what does Nahkaruoska mean?

[LaiskaKettu]

leatherwhip.

bit kinky ey!

[gargamel11a]

Ok Mannerheim translate me 2:10 - 2:40 please :)

[LaiskaKettu]

who fuckin mannerheim you cheeky polak.

anyways, its something like:

made a badman become better

leatherwhip splashes.

alright

[gargamel11a]

What did you write?! Mannerhein was you leader your reason to be pround. I like II WW and I think that I know better Finnish-Russian war than you, I know that you lost one soldier for more than 10 Russian's, I know that you hunted them at night, you have walked with skies and also you thrashed them under "Ladoga lake" when clouds has fallen. Telling "Mannerhein" I wanted to give you compliment, and it wasn't polite when you called my "cheeky". You must be very nice, I suppose.

[LaiskaKettu]

wow u really know your war-stuff.

But I´m not Mannerheim.

cheeky meaning mouthy, as in calling somebody with somebody elses name.

u supposed right, i am very nice.

enjoy Värttinä, they´re amazing!

[Patukkamies]

Who cares about wars we must care about peace.

[drpj]

The Leather Whip

[hjoermungand]

there is only one good kind of music from finland: metal.

[mikeyboy7777777]

no two this band and metal(Y)

[florca0912]

hát akkor most írjunk magyarul is! xD

Jó szám! Nekem tetszik ;)

[HattuSama]

I love this song and the lyrics. Actually, this was the first Värttinä song I ever heard. I understand the lyrics perfectly. <3 Awesome!

[adellexamazing]

jsou psycho no :)

[tyfus8]

Jsou dokonalý. Prostě čarodějnice :)

[kokokuku123]

Poprvé jsem je viděl na Colors of Ostrava. Od té doby je poslouchám a moc se mi líbí. Jsou senzační ! Hlavně ta kočka v pravo :) . Když to rozbalí chce se mi tančit.

[pidzej78]

ta kočka vpravo je Johanna Virtanen ;-) v kapele je od r. 2001. Já vím, je to věc vkusu, ale mě osobně se teda nejvíc líbí kočka vlevo - Susan Aho ;-)

[worldsnpictures]

Varttina is the world's greatest band (IMHO)

They never cease to amaze and invigorate me.

[gurrmirror]

they put a GURR

in my

Mirror

[Josefrainer]

Värttinä would be a reason to learn that difficult but beautiful language Finnish!

[eeeg1]

That might not help. I'm a Finn and i still have trouble understanding the lyrics.

[finntrolltrolltroll]

does anyone know where to get the songtexts?

[pidzej78]

[vincentjacque]

Je suis nul en finnois (bien que j'idolâtre le son de cette langue) mais Värttinä est tellement revigorant, de par la langue et la musique !!!

(Et évidemment, j'ai le béguin pour Susan Aho :rougit)

[cooolsp]

[Beppe89]

Tuolla ruoska roiskuaapi, nahkaruoskaa roiskuaa

siellä vitsaa vinguttapi, vivi vivi vivi vivi vinguttaa

[AkazukinChaCha]

[lifae]

This is one of my favorite songs ^^

[janska80]

Värttinä euroviisuihin nii pärjättäis paremmin kuin joku teräsbetoni

[igrubi12]

I love this..love love love..

[lakdegarda]

eurovision?jesus....I think they deserve something better than that

[Hazard665]

They should be put on Eurovision songcontest.

[jlymon]

Solo lo he visto en video, pero me parecen espectaculares sus voces y como las pueden variar y matizar...ya quisiera yo verles en vivo...

[mmmarikaaa]

missä tää on kuvattu?

[JasonB1969]

I am from England and as such I cannot speak or understand Finnish without a translation site for the language or for song lyrics. But even so, Varttina sound very good.

[Kossigoran]

Do you know that in Värttinä's homepage there are translations and lyrics of every song? :)

[Pollonegro21]

Kitos, I was looking for that as I enjoy their music immensely.

[ppbm]

Helló!

November 1.-én Värttina koncert Prágában.

Mi megyünk páran Budapestről.

Sörgyár és városnézés este meg koncer.

Ha valakit érdekel üzenjen iwiwen Pálvölgyi Jetinek

[galagonyacsalitos]

Tök jó lehetett! :)

Kivárom, hogy Budapestre érjenek...

[gtristdan]

This is why I have a you tube account!!!

[gtristdan]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE VARTTINA!!!!!! I saw them in Central Park, NYC and it was one of the best concert's I've ever seen. Top O' the list! Great video thanks! 5*****

[CallyBerry]

This is the best their song-I love it.

Jo a moc děkuji za český text, aspoň vím, že je nás víc Čechů co můžou Varttinu-včera na fesťáku "Prázdniny v Telči" byli naprosto úžasné, rozjeli to tam opravdu dobře, celé zámecké nádvoří pískalo, pištělo, tleskalo a dokonce zpívalo společně s těmito třemi charismatickými finskými elfkami:-)

[DesertEagle777]

Ten koncert v Telči byl naprosto skvelej - nejlepší koncert na kterym sem kdy byl. Doufam ze budou brzo v ČR abych na ne mohl jit zase :)

[CallyBerry]

jj-budou, v listopadu, já na ně pojedu 2.11. do 4eských Budějek a 1.11. jsou myslím v Praze, a pak ještě ve Vsetínově

[DesertEagle777]

bud do Prahy nebo do Budejek urcite pojedu... jen co prekecam nekoho aby jel se mnou :D

[jossujb]

Värttinä on aivan paras. Ensimmäisiä kuulemiani Värttinän kappaleita ja mielestäni tämä levy onkin paras. Enkä kiusallanikaan viitsi kirjoittaa englanniksi.

[Meshelsidek]

Nice I saw that in Slovakia very very good

[sgtka]

I love these crazy women:)Very Good song! I wish I could see them in Hungary in summer.

[babobz]

Nahkaruoska = Leatherwhip

[id88viper88id]

That's a nice English translation :D I'm from Poland so I can also slightly understand the Czech lyrics that pidzej78 featured here :D

[pidzej78]

Part IV

Donutila zlého muže, donutila muže

vyhnala neslušného, neslušného pryč

Donutila zlého muže, donutila muže

vyhnala neslušného, neslušného pryč.

[pidzej78]

Part III

Chytrá manželka od cizích, od cizích

slyšela, co se po vsi šeptá, po vsi šeptá

Zase ten divoch vyvádí, divoch vyvádí

jiné svádí, svádí

Chytrá manželka od cizích, od cizích

slyšela, co se po vsi šeptá, po vsi šeptá

Teď tam bič práská, kožený bič práská

a rákoska sviští, vivi vivi vivi vivi sviští

[pidzej78]

Part II

Manželka chytrá a rozzlobená, chytrá a rozzlobená

hned se strašně rozzlobila, strašně rozzlobila

Nedostaneš se do komory, do komory

nepustím tě pod peřinu, pod peřinu

Teď tam bič práská, kožený bič práská

a rákoska sviští, vivi vivi vivi vivi sviští

[pidzej78]

So, here is lyrics in Czech Language, sorry, but my English is terrible, so it will be the best translate it by somebody who is able to translate it: Part I KOŽENÝ BIČ Všimli si, že muž chodí, všimli si že muž všimli si, že muž chodí za cizími Chodí spát do cizího domu, chodí spát jiné tam svádí, svádí Týden strávil u cizích, týden u cizích dlouho daleko od domova, daleko od domova Ženy střídal, střídal S děvečkami se muchlal, muchlal

[Horpation]

I love to sing this :D nahkaruoska is one of the best songs Värttinä have!

Äkättiinpä äihän käyvän, äkättinpä äijän, äkättiinpä äijänm käyvän lemmen läävässä..

I'm from Finland, so I can understand there words.. :P (And I speak REALLY wors english.. I guess somebody will have headache from my texts xD)

[tulevel]

[pidzej78]

[tulevel]
