  • Quite clearly this just got added to favourites. Ray Mears introduced me to the Yoik! Amazing song

  • thats cool. i didnt even know that there were such a thing as Samis people until recently. i feel stupid lol does it always snow there like that?

  • Does anyone know where I could get a hat like hers? :)

  • why is she apart of sami or somethin?

  • @hollidaylevi Hi, I live close to where this was filmed. All of this is filmed in Lappland, the part at 0:50 is from the ice-hotel in Jukkasjärvi

  • where was this filmed? i wouldnt know im from colorado usa

  • @hollidaylevi I think that it's filmed somewhere in Sweden where the Samis live

  • Makes me want to move up north.

  • she's just so freaking cute :D

  • one of my favourite singers. my father's mother was a Finnish Forest Sami.

  • I bet her father's proud :'). She's beautiful...

  • @Emiilyyx221 Screw her dad, think of the lucky bastard which wakes up next to her :D

  • Att lyssna på den här låten medan den första snön i December faller utanför är en lite känslosam upplevelse. Att sedan både snön, Sofia och framför allt hennes sång alla är underbart vackra hjälper ju förstås.

  • Holy shit that is a powerful and versatile voice. I wanna learn to joik like that. I haven't heard that in her other songs, they're mostly quiet stuff.

  • Beautiful!!

  • @TheClarenceter FUCK DIRTY GYPSY INDO-EUROPEANS!!!

  • @pntktznhrm What?

    Finno-Ugric people are actually the gypsies, NOT Indo-Europeans.

  • @TheClarenceter GYPSIES IMMIGRATED IN EUROPE FROM INDIA, THEIR LANGUAGE IS CLOSE TO HINDI, SO GYPSIES ARE INDO-EUROPEANS, NOT URAL-ALTAICS!

  • @pntktznhrm True that, Indo-European languages are highly associated with Sanskrit, but the gypsies I am talking about, the Roma, are to be found in Hungary and Romania.

  • @TheClarenceter In Hungary there are about 800.000.- 1 million gypsies, BUT THEY ARE NOT HUNGARIANS! And we hope, they will emigrate to West Europe, if they will not take a lot of subventions from the (zionists occupied) hungarian state.

  • @pntktznhrm Gas them instead.

  • @TheClarenceter That is not allowed by the liberals, like Sarközy and Merkel, and Obama! Only for zionists is allowed to gas the palestins.

  • @pntktznhrm Merkel, Sarkozy and Obama should all be assassinated.

  • @TheClarenceter Now they are too strong to do it.

  • @pntktznhrm Aren't the Hungarians gypsies? Hahahaha.

  • ~ / ~ 

  • voi että... miten joku voi laulaa noin kauniisti? oikeasti, ihan... ei tätä voi kuvailla mitenkään...

  • @puccapici Shut the fuck up you Finnish retard, if anything speak Sami.

  • @TheClarenceter Umm... Excuse me. Sofia Jannok has a lot of Finnish fans. That's why I think it is totally fine to speak in Finnish, because probably about a third of the people who listen to this understand the language. Just sayin'.

  • @onechildsband Finnish people are retarded and they think they're related to the Samie when they are not.

  • @TheClarenceter I never said that. I understand that it is frustrating for the Sami people, when Finland is not protecting the Sami culture and Lapland nature the way they should. In a way, I feel the same frustration too and I totally agree with you. However, this has nothing to do with the fact that Sofia Jannok has Finnish fans, including me. I'm not saying that I own anything. I'm not saying that I can control anything. I'm not saying that I am related to anyone. I just enjoy the music.

  • @onechildsband Somewhere around 60,000 Samis have a greater culture than 4 million Finns.

    Finns are pathetic.

  • @TheClarenceter Yes. The Sami culture is great! I just want to say that a person can have the nationality of Finnish and still be Sami, but lets not go there. Where are you from anyway? Are you actually Sami? Anyway, I get your point, you hate Finland. I don't understand why, but you do. That's fine.

  • This really chills me down and reminds of the 4 months I lived in Finland, what a great time.

  • @mib008 LOL Finland????????? Sami people are strictly Sami, and not some Finnish shit.

    (Both are mongoloid people though)

  • What language is this?

  • @SarahLee1

    I believe it is Sami, but don't quote me.

  • Though I think it could be considered a joik song, meaning it's just vocalizations, basically.

  • Theres still no real telling who came first to scandinavia. However politicians favor the theory of the sami being the indigeneous people as it fits their political agendas at the moment.

  • Dát lea álbma musihka. Jus ehppet ádde de mun in veaje dasa maidige.

  • : )

  • great music!

  • -3 this song! Lyrics please :)

  • Still easily my favorite song... handsdown! :D

  • she's wearing a snow suit and is more sexy than most wanna be.

    don't ever change!

  • Nice song. I'm glad this was posted here or I would have never heard the tune or the language. This CD was ranked 182,929 in sales at amazon so I ordered one. Maybe it'll move up a notch.

    It's nice to be able to sample music here.

  • sweetest voice... beautiful soul... fairy-face....

  • Comment removed

  • Do you have the lyrics? I would love to learn them so I could strengthen my comprehension of Sàmi.

  • @MaricaAmbrosius You can't really translate most of it as it's just sounds of feeling I've been told.

  • @fishdirt The "heilelaloilolelailai" is definitely semantically meaningless, but there are also words in there, I can tell. Just can't catch them is all. :)

  • @MaricaAmbrosius the booklet in the cd only has:

    "In Sárevuomi

    the earmarked reindeer took off

    Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene..."

    So I guess most of the lyrics are counting reindeers and yoiking sounds? :)

  • @MrKorton Yeah, probably. lol :)

    Thank you! :D

  • Come to think, I wonder what a sad song would sound like in similar sounds of feeling.

  • amazing song! i stumbled upon it by accident, now that's another person who's going to want to get to know sofia jannok

  • huui bourre

    

  • I would never buy her album without her video on youtube. They are lucky that they didn´t delete this video from youtube. Youtube is a big chance that people from other countries can listen to their music ... so they want to buy their album.

  • @TheFomore me too :) In fact I just bought it when I was visiting in Stockholm 2 weeks ago when you were writing this

  • @MrKorton ;)

  • Pretty cool song, makes me wanna a Khmu song (indigenous people of Laos). I think Samis are pretty interesting. Very distinctive clothes in comparison with other Europeans.

  • OMG I freaking LOVE Sofia Jannok! lol I heard about the Saami by reading through a book in my library at school one day. When I got home I researched who the Saami were and through more and more interest I researched their music and culture... where I found Sofia Jannok (now my fav singer) I dont understand a single word at all... but shes still awesome and her music is beautiful and alive!

  • @smallshinybeetle that's fantastic :D i researched the Sami after i read an article about them in National Geographic. and Sofia is amaaaaaazing!

  • @travelinadventurer Thats so cool :) Good ol national geographic! I showed her songs to my family and they all LOVE it lol we listen to her on road trips and stuff :D

  • @smallshinybeetle gah i'm jealous, if i showed her to my family, they'd be like "what....are we listening to?" D:

  • @travelinadventurer awww that sucks :P but they are the ones missing out! ;)

  • Liian puhdasta ja kaunista. Sanoinkuvaamatonta.

  • She is such a spirited person, full of life, it is a joy to watch & listen

  • I keep coming to yt cause the song must be accompanied by this wonderful video :) 

  • I. AM.IN.LOVE.

  • This song is what freedom in life sounds like

  • Hi, I come from china, but still, I got so addicted to a song in the language I don't know!

  • @newbaphomet  THANK YOU !!!

  • This puts a smile on my face wonderful video and great song!

  • can anybody show the lyrics in swedish and translate also the song into english???

  • @lissyslifebook I found this translation in english: Irene In Sárevuomi the earmarked reindeer took off Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene In Sárevuomi the earmarked reindeer took off Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene and the origin: Irene Sáre- go vuomi guobirbealjážat njolggiidedje Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene... Sáre- go vuomis de guobirbealjážat nu njolggiidedje... Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene...
  • i am from sweden and i like you :]

  • Love this song!! Great video. Love that's she's just having a great time in the snow! She's herself!

  • ti leei ayto to tragoudi?

  • Hon är för jävla duktig guuud så skönt:)

  • I have no idea what she's saying, but her voice is beautiful.

  • @AstroAntaAposAnarch Well, there's not much to understand. Basically, she's repeating one line from time to time (a name, a village and something about reindeers if I'm not mistaken) which she mixes in with sami folksinging called joik (which imo is something between yodeling and normal singing).

  • so beautiful! really want to learn sami! It's such a beautiful languge! :D

  • i can't find this song on itunes :(

    

  • Very beautiful.

  • Jag älskar den här!!

  • @cloakstella Den e ful

  • I recently discovered that somewhere in my genetic past I have a Sami ancestor. Not knowing who the Sami are I began to search and came across Sofia Jannok. I don't know what she's saying, but being a singer and musician myself I definitely feel it! Sofia you are awesome and powerful, thank you for your music. I am inspired by your voice it is so beautiful.

  • I am from netherland this verry good

    xxxxxxx Irene

  • i love you

    im 12 jears 

  • "Aboriginal" simply means the original inhabitants of a land.

    So in this case, the Sami are the aboriginal/indigenous people of certain areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, linguistically distinct from Sweden, Norway, and Russia, and to a lesser extent from Finland (the Sami language is at least in the same language family as Finnish/Suomi).

  • @dissonantsonorant

    You are very correct. In fact, it's established that the Sami peoples inhabited most of Scandinavia before the Finnic peoples arrived.

  • @dissonantsonorant "Aboriginal" simply means the original inhabitants of a land....

    And What the land was before the Aboriginals came?

  • @jbingfaII

    And What the land was before the Aboriginals came?"

    Aboriginal refers to the people, not of the land itself.

  • @patio87 Still you have not explained or answered my question... What Was e.g Sweden before the Swedish Came?

  • Before the Svear (Swedes) were founded as a group, and before we populated scandinavia I imagine there were pretty much only forests animals and lakes here.

  • @AtrumMixer And They Came From Where?

  • The svear? or the animals, forests and the lakes?

    The "svear" came along with their cousin tribes from the germanic lands and crossed over to scandinavia. The sami came from up north, most probably.

  • @AtrumMixer And Where the Germans came From before the Land was Called Germany? Why Would anyone move further North or South to Sweden?

    Are the SAMI European or Europeanized?

  • Why our ancestors moved further up North you will have to ask them. I don't know. Maybe they couldn't stand to other tribes and wanted to be left alone. Before that, we came from the same group as most other groups.

    The sami are mixed up with us now, yes. And they are europeanized, even though some of them at the same time stick to their traditional cultural life.

  • @AtrumMixer Are you telling me that the first people who went to Scandinavia were of Asian Origin? Many SAMIs look like the Native Americans in the North of the Continent...

    Were do Sweden Comes From really?

  • I already told you. No one knows for sure who came first to Scandinavia. The sami also live in Russia.

    The old sami looked sort of like native americans, yes. Todays sami population look more like the rest of us.

    The swedes/svear originally came from germania. They came from the same group as the norwegians, the danes, the germans and etc and etc. But the Swedes as a group, has its roots in Uppland. Their rivals were the Geats further down south. They eventually came to be united under one name

  • @AtrumMixer And Where Germany Came From Before the Germans Colonized Germany? Russia controls part of what the rest call Scandinavia that is true but for someone who is supposed to be in these parts all these ages Borders probably do not matter the way it does for some of us out there...

    A Good Reason For Peace...

    A Good Reason For War...

  • I have no idea what you're trying to say.

  • @AtrumMixer Exactly...

    You do not know where the Question Comes from...

    While those who know the answer pretend that you gonna find out when it is already too late to think of anything else...

    Clarify plz...

  • I want to learn one of the Sami languages! :) I love it, Greetings from Holland!

  • how are sami aborginal?? they look white, inter breeding?

  • @ashwinbhat123

    White people had to come from somewhere :)

  • @ashwinbhat123

    Not like Sami people just been together with sami people, trough time :)

    Im swedish, blonde, and my father is blond to- his grandmother was sami.

    I also got sami far back on my mothers side, but also a lot of swedish people. Many swedish people up north are problably related to sami by blood - but not knowing it.

  • @ashwinbhat123 That made my day ;) But for real, you did'nt think there could be white aboriginals anywhere in the world??

  • @Sulimaaren The world is full of white Aboriginals lol. Every person is an Aboriginal of their native land lol.

  • Is there a dubstep remix for this yet?

  • i dont understand what she says but it sounds fun! and the video is amazing

  • sami what???

  • @ashwinbhat123

    Do you know how it's the sami? I'm going to be one of them....

    They are north and lapland and... aborginal...

  • Good song, pretty girl. Who cares about the rest of the bullshit?

  • I adore this. I could not adore this more.

  • my name is irene !!

  • @irene1752 Mine too ;) I love our names!!

  • @Ireneluvsfanfics ahaha me too ;) but i have no idea what those lyrics mean :P

  • @irene1752 Me neither... lol :P

  • too much pop but i like your voice and some elements im part skol samish keeo goin hellou from finland

  • I honestly love the sound of this song. Forgive me if I ask a stupid question, but what does she sing about? i 've been searching for lyrics, but the ones I did found didn't really match when I listened the song. Also, I'm not a star in Swedish... being from the Netherlands.

  • Innan prästerna skrev in ordet lapp i kyrkböckerna förekom ordet finne också vilket betyder jägare på latin, om man kollar på finland betyder ju finland samernas land, var befolkat från 1400-talet vid Saimas älvdaler i södra Savolax enbart av samer, kring Ladoga och Karelen bodde också samer, runt år 800-1000 var hela finland befolkat av samer. Jag har samer på mammas sida kommer från Umbyn och Vapsten.....och sen i norge i gudbrandsdalen men då snackar vi om Snöfrid Svåsedotter i släktforskning

  • Dette burde de spilt på p3 ,og mener det er en stolt og fresh tune...som virkelig går rett til hjertet!!

  • @909jjuy Enig med deg jeg :D

  • Kjempefin !!!

  • This is so beautiful...I must listen to more of Sofia´s music...Så himla vackert till dom fina naturbilderna...synd att jag inte förstår samiska...Sofia du är så otroligt bra...vilken röst:)

  • makes me proud to be sami

  • Oh my gosh this is so beautifully wonderful music. I love saami music to the core. I am full blood Lakota Sioux from the US a native. Our music is similar to yours. Please come to my land to perform a concert. We are hungry for different things. frankknife1- on you tube.

  • Probably she is the most beautiful woman on Earth.

    And she composes the most beautiful music.

    And speaks one of the most miraculous language.

    Thanks for it from Hungary.

  • SO MUCH awesome music comes from Sweden!!!

  • Carina e bella voce e bel ritmo. Brava!! :D

    P.s. my name is Irene *_*

  • Very nice song!! <3

  • This is the best saami song up to this date...because it has so much stuff in it that I never heard in saami songs before...youthful happiness, joy and lust for life..it oozes of a positive way of looking at life. That's why this song is so great and important. So many other yoiks sound so melancholic, and they are often sung by, well, not so young performers. I can't stop listening to this tune. I love it, and it makes feel proud to be saami. And it makes me feel happy.

  • Hur i friden kan (vi) storstadsbor verkligen ofta ha den helt sjuka fördomen mot både samer, norrmän, norrlänningar, finnar, ester och alla andra. Svenskpiss i huvudet, socialismens huvudmätningar som slog slint? Stockholm, skandinaviens huvudstad... bara i den trängseltyngda fantasin.

  • Comment removed

  • Exellent ,when I feel bad, this song always puts me in good spirits :)

  • I'm kind of jealous... Jag älskar Norrland.. det är ju så vackert!

  • This song is the most beautiful ever I can listen to it all day long, without beeing bored or tired of it. Tusen tack, och många varma kramar till dig, Sofia.

  • Jag älskar Norrland och musiken från Sofia Jannok. Stora kramar från södra Sverige. (Borås).

  • Sofia lea mu oappá olmmái mánnávuoda áiggis, ja son lea hirbmat ceahppi lávlut!

    Sofia är min systers barndomsvän, och hon är väldigt duktig på att sjunga.

    JAG ÄR EN STOLT SAME! MON LEAN DUHTTIVAS SÁPMELAS!

  • awesome song! I really enjoyed it. I stumbled upon it when researching the etymology of my last name "Lapp."

    I'm curious is Lapp an offensive word? or is it like the word "Indian" in Canada? I'm a status First Nation but I really don't mind the term Indian... can anyone clarify about the word Lapp? thanks

  • @andpandpur The swedes called the saami people Lappar. Lapp means "Patch" like when your clothes break u put patches on them. The Saami people were called Lappar (Patches) because they we're poor i think. I don't think people really care that much about it these days but it used to be very offensive

  • @EvilZamnes they are not called "Lappar" because they are poor. They live in a region in northen scandinavia which is called Lappmarken and thats why they are called "Lappar".

  • I'm a Swedish girl with some Saami and much Tornefinnish blood. I live in the south of Sweden, but most of my family comes from Norrbotten. I am very proud of my heritage.

    I love this song. Sofia is gorgeous!

  • The lyrisc are translated like this in the almbum cover:

    "In Sárevoumi the earmarked raindeer took off. Ántte Nils-Duomma Bér- Ánte Irene." And then the rest of what she sings are sounds that have no translation. Sárevoumi is a place, Ánte Nils-Duomma Bér- Ánte and Irene are names.

    Hope that is a help for someone! :-)

  • @delfinelise

    She yoik about Irenes reindeers in a saami village called Saarivuoma , I have from Könkämä, Vapsten, Umbyn, Könkämä is northern then Saarivuoma....

  • what a fine and sophisticated language the sami is!! + Beautiful music

  • I want to marry her.

  • Please, can anybody tell me where find the lyrics of this beautiful song? I'll apreciate it a lot.

  • Thank you very much, Vibeke!

  • this made me laugh, sounds pretty awesome

  • I am from Sami and I hear this almost each day on the radio, I still love it! :D

  • @Superesky ~ will you tell the lyrics for the song please ?!! Much Appreciation ! from a Sami in California ❤

  • @Superesky

    So Sami are lucky people, in Germany you can hear exclusively english in the radio - unbelievable !

  • @Superesky

    i would like to meet someone from Sami to learn more for that culture

  • @oetzi0000 agreed me too! and i live in finland and we have samian ppl here but never met one!

  • @oetzi0000 You should come to Jokkmokk (it lies in northern Sweden) during the winter market, you can google it. Almost every one here has Sami blood in them and loads of Sami people live here. The market has been going on for at least 400 years so you can experience Sami handicraft and we also have reindeer races

  • @skandargeorgiefan I went today to the autumn market and my Swedish family was a bit let down because they had only been to the winter market. I can't wait to go to that!

  • @Superesky

    Are you from Sweden, Norway or Finland?

  • Its so sad how this wonderful culture is beeing showed away and replaced with this brat society. The Samis were here first and people should threat them with the respect they deserve. Culture is what really matters!

  • @lisaspisa Indeed.

  • @FryNorth: it's called Yoiking and it's a vocal expression. look it up it's really interesting :)

  • leleleloolalala or something, dont have a clue what she sings, but its nice.

  • @FryNorth

    She sings about a woman Irene or relative about her reindeers in a saami village called Saarivuoma..

    Since im relative with the saami people called Blind from Könkämä that moved south i know what im talking about, i teach in saami history too :D i can my roots

  • SERBIA is NEW JERUSALEM to be ...

  • Good for you. Then you and everyone else can fight over it how much you want.

  • I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Nobody really knows if the sami or the germanics came here first. Politicians just recently decided to call the sami the Indigenous people of scandinavia because it fits their political goal of destroying the scandinavian people by making them feel rootless and homeless.

    To me, Sami swedes and swedes are basically the same apart from the culture the culture difference.

    And somebody called them slavic? Wtf! Theyre not slavic!

  • how could anyone watch this video and not just feel good about pretty much everything?

  • høres litt us som hu synge "drikka lerum" rund forbi;P LERUM FTW!! 

  • This song makes me warm and fussy inside, been playing it on repeat in my car for about a month now;) itz nize!

  • 1:31 endless cuteness..  o_O

    She's just.. Awesome... the one...
