The swedish languge stinks, it should be removed from finland altogether . Finnish is much more pretty and unique, being one of the few non.indoeuropean languages spoken in europe.
This song is so touching. It's about the sorrow of a funeral after a war. The women are so young and have lost their husbands. It's just a strong song. Absolutely beautiful.
There were raids. Heres an old piece of saga for you:
"Then he (Olav) sailed to Finland, landed and pillaged there, but all of the locals escaped into the forests and took all their possessions with them away from the area. The king ventured far inland and through some woods; there were valley regions called Herdalarna. They took some property, but no men.
When evening drew near, the King began his way back to his ships. But when they returned to the woods, they were confronted by men from all sides, and harrassed and shot at fiercely. The King told his men to take cover/protect themselves. But before they could get out of the woods, he had lost many men and several were wounded. He arrived at the ships in the evening. In the night, the Finns created a great storm with their witch-craft.
But the king ordered to lift up the anchor and raise the sails, and they travelled along the coast during the night. The King's good luck was then, like so often, more effective than the witch-craft of the Finns. They managed to sail along the coast of Balegard and then out to sea. But a band of Finnish warriors followed them on land as the king sailed along the coast."

@TheJoshua003 I know this is 6 months ago, but I just wanted to say this. There were Finnish vikings, even though Finland was never a viking country. There were plenty of Finns who recordedly took part in the whole viking business, though none of them were very famous (due to there being few of the in comparison to Norway, Denmark and Sweden).
When u press that "More info"-link, you find text, that says:
"The lyrics to Kädet Siipinä came to me after I read accounts about the Finnish evacuation after the war. Kilometers of long black lines of mourning and crying people, mainly recent widows and children with their belongings and cows, began their exodus moving away from the old Finland after the border changes that took place following the war."
me and a friend have agreed that if you act, dream and bilieve like vikings did that you can call yourself a modern viking. whos with me? if you are, hello viking!
I love their sound, style, songs, though I only heard of them two months ago (or there abouts). I've bought a couple of their CDs and will buy more when the cash allows.
This song is pretty touching, though I don't understand a word of Fin
Actually not swedish at all, but pure finnish! One of my fave Korpiklaani songs, I love those finnish lyrics, because it is very hard to write finnish lines to a melody. Jonne has a good down-to-earth-voice, I think. Just pure finnish *nod*
this is truly an amazing song and a really awesome video. It hurts me so much that all types of metal is judged be everyone who does not know it and dont realise that it can be this absolutly fukkingawesome
