Mari Boine Persen - Gula Gula!

[ArnoryGondor]

...excelente música...me gusta...he descubierto hace poco a ésta interprete y me deja boquiabierto...no puedo por menos que compararla también con el grupo sueco Hedningarna.

[tuomaankuoma1]

Tämä se vain tuo kotiseuvun mieleen! Gula, jaa, meinaisiko vaikka mulukkua, eipä tiijä. Viisu sinänsä on hyvä.

[05werewolf]

2 words.....epic...song!!!!

[05werewolf]

OMD!!! i can't believe i performed this song last week!!!! but the other version /watch?v=4VZbLtUi2N8

[Sleipne]

@primavera111: Gula gula Nieida, gánda Gula máttut dál du curvot Manin attát eatnama duolvat Mirkkoduvvot Guoriduvvot Gula jiena Nieida, gánda Gula mátturáhkuid jiena Eana lea min buohkaid eadni Dan jos goddit ieza jápmit. The lyrics.

[Sleipne]

I sang this song years ago when I had classes in Sàmi. I'm not sure if my translation is correct but here goes. Hear, hear! Girl and boy Hear the voices of the foremothers ask Why you let the earth become polluted poisoned exhausted They remind you where you come from Listen Do you hear, they want to remind you The earth is our mother If we take her life we die with her.

[primavera111]

please could somebody write down the original Sámi lyrics? it sounds just wonderful

[BrutalOddball]

or, it's a swedish word meaning yellow, yellow

[MouthOfTheUnknown]

beautiful sounding and poetic, true lyrics

[laelamarie1]

Observing and hearing this phenomenal singer makes me wonder about the origin of people - that once the lands were connected. Hearing and seeing her reminds me of the North American original peoples, not only the singing style but the sound and even the message is one these people also share...uncanny. Powerful!!!!

[ralphyboy25]

@laelamarie1 Yes a land bridge across the pole is one prevailing theory for the simularities. There are some other examples of Nordic joik singing in Värttinä's song "Miero" at

and some (related) throat singing in "Mieleni alenevi" at

[laelamarie1]

@ralphyboy25 OK - I am impressed!

[redorangeuk]

MARI BOINE will be performing live in London on 04 November 2011, at Kings Place, as part of the London International Festival of Exploratory Music (LIFEM)... do not miss it!!!

[PotawatomiApiwa]

Mun da hanleas oalvamus..? Is it on here?

[adnansarikaya]

gula gula (originally, 'güle güle') is a turkish word, means 'goodbye'...

[tiad]

@adnansarikaya: I think this song has nothing to do with Turkish. On the CD there is a hint for Gula Gula = "Hear the Voices of the Foremothers". - ** Tiad **

[vihmaussivenitaja]

@adnansarikaya This song is in Saami language. I think that "gula" probably means "listen" or "hear". Saami is a finno-ugric language, which is related to Estonian and in Estonian "kuula" means "listen" and "kuule" means "hear".

[TheKakdeg]

@adnansarikaya This is jojk, I doubt that she's singing in turkish.

[Orchydee64]

thank you dearest Tiad...!*******

[GulekiJwan]

Hi!

What does Gula means?

I LOVE THIS!

[tiad]

@GulekiJwan:

Lyrics translation: Gula Gula (Hear the Voices of the Foremothers) ** Hear the voices of the foremothers **

Hear ** They ask you why you let the earth become polluted ** Poisoned ** Exhausted ** They remind you where you come from ** Do you hear? ** Again they want to remind you ** That the earth is our mother **

If we take her life ** We die with her. ***  Tiad

[dzodla]

@GulekiJwan gula means 'hear'

[joannahewson]

super

[showgo666]

Love this.... 

[plaveoci2]

[hxotropio]

Sorry, wrong song. Interesting for Eadnan Bakti

[plaveoci2]

@hxotropio Ednan Bakti

Ja mearra, ja albmi don leat, seamma nanus, ja njuoveil, ja geahpas, go dat, aiggiid taba, du dedde, ja jaskkodit ge, muhto, ies eallin bealustii, du , tuozzelit, de luhte don liebbi leat, Eatni giella mus cuodja, du satnin, don mus, ädden säniid, dat tudjet, ja gulan du mus, it leat fänga, it bälvä, it räiggiid duoknas, dus maid lohpi lea därbbasit, jebbehusa, go ollu, dus gäibidan leat, dat du futnot, go dihtet, don vuoigadis leat, vearridaguid, su tihket ja gielläsiid

[hxotropio]

@plaveoci2 Thank you very much. I didn’t expect it, it was a surprise for me. Thank you once again

[hxotropio]

@plaveoci2 Do you know the rest of the lyrics? they are not all of them

[hxotropio]

Can anyone write me the lyrics of this song in its original language (not in English)? Thank you

[wendyburchsteel]

@hxotropio I would actually love to hear it in English if it's available.

[wendyburchsteel]

I would actually love to hear it in English if it's available.

[mrlightwait]

gorgeous sound~ reminds me of hector zazou's SONGS FROM THE COLD SEAS album

[MrFFxx]

Bra sunget, Mari!

[kloo0010]

Verdele de inceput care nu te lasa sa te misti altfel.

Parca si inceputul e-n nesfirsit. Parca si nesfirsitul isi cauta raspuns in definirea care numai cu radacini se maninca.

Si pasii incetinesc in toropeala ce inalta.

De ce valuri?

De ce crud care primeste roua?

De ce toate astea?

Muntele ravasirii in carnea ce nu se poate topi.

Cimpoiul aduce a toba, a chemare ce nu-si afla insulta, doar zvicnet al inaintarii.

Pasesc...

[catjulz]

This is simply amazing!!

[Celestium23]

Is there a more woman singing anywhere? if so, haven't heard her, have loved this song for 20 years, great photos too :-)

[bourresbourres]

Maria Boine comes from Northen part of Norway in the artic zone of the country. She is a Samii/Lapp the first nation people here in scandinavia

[lthrlover]

finnish, estonian, hungarian, and sami are uralic languages, although these languages are related they would be like distant cousins to one another(very distant!).

[Kriegsarschmann]

You know it's strange, the Saami are across an ocean but they are a LOT like Native Americans. The First Nation peoples have stories of traveling around a "great salt lake," which makes me wonder.

[antonthegreatone]

@Kriegsarschmann Ancient peoples traveld alot more than modern history says. Human civilization is a lot older than many think . And why are there pyramids etc. all around the ancient world .And ancient texts that depict manned flight?

[Kriegsarschmann]

@antonthegreatone Well the pyramids who knows, people like to build random things that are also huge. As for the manned flights, lots and lots of ancient drugs the likes of which we shall never see. :( Them ancients, they knew how to party.

[antonthegreatone]

@Kriegsarschmann Out of body mind travel , this is possible .

[jysluggo]

It's not Finnish. It is a Saami language.

[meteoor2]

The text is not finnish, it is samish!

[SuddenMystery]

I really like this. Beautiful pictures, thank you for this video! It's shame I don't understand a word.

[WomenFrameDrumming]

We love you!!

[triscleeire]

Thank you so much for making this wonderful video. Mari Boine is pure magic! Whoever has the chance to see her live - DO IT!!!!! So tender and powerful at the same time she sings directly to the heart - the language is not all that important. Feel her music!!

[AnasaziAl]

Rich with beauty!

[kjettemor]

She sang this song yesterday in her consert at VossaJazz (festival in Voss, Norway), and it was magic, as the whole consert was. She is getting better and better. The music is so varied, she uses her voice in so many different ways, she creates an athmosphere of strength and warmth.

[Lapinora]

Une chanson calme et reposante !

J'aime bien : )

•°•.•°• Lapinora •°•.•°•

[IsabellMailen]

No one understand what they say. What they say doesn't mean anything special. They often just think about something, and sing what they want.

[Ainhoa1666]

so you don't think that if we take our planets life, natures life, we won't die too? read the info before you speak.. i understand what they say, they are a people in my country and all the nortern scandinavia, a nature people.. i belive in what they say more than americans..

[melomanoist]

If you don`t understand the words, try to understand the music. That`s what music is for.

You can`t explain art, and music is also art.

[Anton7719]

Need to check the "Cafe Del Mar" mix...

[mvk1957]

From deep down, pure magic

[anaibizamoon]

So powerful

[Forseti6288]

Wow, amazing. I love how it slowly builds in intensity.

[Meretepiah]

0:54 høres det ut som hun sier "Cola, Mat" heaheha

[tjalondo]

This song brings me to the source of life

Thanks for sharing!

[malla330]

its very good

den er kjempe god

Makes me thinkin of everything between sky and ground

Får meg til og tenke på alt mellom himmel og jord

[DasOhneEnde]

I Love it <3 :)

[rapatang]

to piękny i hipnotyzujący kawałek bodajże w języku sami - gorgous and hypnotizing piece, probably in saami (lopari) language

[pikkupukki]

Todella upea tuo kuvitus, eikä musiikissakaan mitään vikaa tietenkään ole. Beautiful pictures really and this music is also greatest, of course. Than you ( kiitos ) for this vid.

[pikkupukki]

Todella upea tuo kuvitus, eikä musiikissakaan mitään vikaa tietenkään ole.

[tiad]

Please try to write in English so everyone (incl. me) can understand what you are saying. Thanks.

[koalek]

Maybe you should learn a foreign language instead of expecting the whole world to bend for you

[tiad]

What you are talking about? The whole world to bend for me? What a nonsense. And what language should I learn in your opinion?

[Thanassiss]

Let people speak and write their languages. Internet should not be English only. I don't understand what they say either but I like the use of many languages

[Ainhoa1666]

hahah..didn't you get it? what koalek wrote was surely meant for meretepiah, not for you ;)

[nordicpower88]

@tiad ever hear of online translating programs? Google Language Tools, for one...

[tiad]

@nordicpower88: Thanks...yes I "heard" of those tools. ;-) But to use this translation tools first you should know the language and how the spelling is..

[nordicpower88]

@tiad It's finnish, and Google also has an option "detect language"

[tiad]

@nordicpower88: I think you do not understand what I mean. Even if I know it is Finnish how can I write in Finnish when I don't have any clue of this language!?

By the way: I posted from the beginning of my upload an english translation in the info text to the clip. ;-)

[nordicpower88]

@tiad Well, you don't have to write in finnish, for example (or whatever language), but it is possible to translate what you have written from english to finnish. Of course that's your own choice.

Thanks by the way for the translation of this fine song. :-)

[deadsociety0]

@nordicpower88 it's not finnish. it's north sami. i speak finnish and don't understand a word of it. yes finnish and sami languages are related but not as close as for example swedish and norwegian.

[nordicpower88]

@deadsociety0

I understand that Mari Boine sings in north Sami, but I was actually referring to the comment by pikkupukki one year ago which translates from Finnish:

"Really brings a great illustration, and music, nothing wrong with it of course not. Beautiful pictures and really this music is also Life Style greatest, of course. Than you (thank you) for this vid."

Sorry for any misunderstandings...

[MrTuri93]

@nordicpower88 it's not finnish! it's sampi, it's a ancient language in scandinavia

[sallythewerewolf]

@nordicpower88 It's not Finnish--it's Norwegian Sami. The languages are both Finno-Ugric but not the same.:)

[tiad]

A masterpiece from the Album "Gula Gula" (1989).

"Gula Gula = Hear the Voices of the Foremothers".

Listen & Enjoy it.
