Hedningarna - Tuuli

[hwilbert47]

The lyrics are based on the folklore collected by M. A. Castrén in Karelia (Uhtua) year 1839.

The title is "Tuulen nosto". The text is only slightly edited. Original text is accessible via a search engine on the web page: dbgw. finlit. fi / skvr (remove the spaces when using this address).

@F0reseer Well no, it's just that people don't think this type of music is related to Germanic or Scandinavian countries when, in fact it was. This type of music is actually parts of Inuit(native greenlanders) chants. So technically, there is no Hindi in the picture, just Scandinavia.

[F0reseer]

@KayHiggs13 Sorry if I was being confusing but i wasn't referring to the music, but the Finnish language, and how it isn't an Indo-European language like Swedish is.

[spellmaker92xD]

amazing

[dancejustfordance]

Just amazing! One of the best songs ever!

[vampirebite44]

that music it´s more awesome than Barney Stinson XD

[Roepichen]

This is one of the absolute greatest songs ever made!!!

[laelamarie1]

I enjoy reading these comments (well, the ones pertaining to the music) and it is good to know that there are others that this music calls to that primal core - like the comment about getting naked and dancing around a fire....yup, that pretty much sums it....

[besit]

@laelamarie1 Well said! To my opinion - it is vital to not to forget about our inner animal. Those who oppose primal instincts denies their true nature.

[laelamarie1]

definitely my kind of music....might use this out some night becoming one with the sky...

[ralphyboy25]

@laelamarie1 With the wind howling .....

[rick4318]

Was that Wimme I heard?

[EneriGiilaan]

@rick4318 Yes, Wimme indeed.

[swinki33]

I hear the fire! Lot of fire!!!

[Hopfolk]

Nice, I have just stumbled upon Hedningarna while listening to Faun radio on LastFM. Tra CD seems to be unavailable in the UK though. poop. At least we have Korpiklaani to listen to :)

[smackythefirst]

Finnish, along with Welsh and Basque, make up the oldest and most unrelated languages in Europe. Fascinating stuff this.

[MiAmMiJah]

Goosebumps everytime!!!

Intense music. Shut up and enjoy!

[panasilis]

oho, shiver material

[cocolonger]

PURE? HATE WILL NEVER PROVE ANYTHING. ISN'T THIS ONE WORLD? HOW ARE WE EVER GOING TO REACH THE STARS ? AND WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT? PRIMITIVE EMOTION HOLDER..

[racufe]

¡Viva Europa y su infinita cultura!

[RomanticCrusader]

@racufe I hate the spanish and those of spanish descent. I hope you fall to a horrible death. You are of a coward race, and impure race. Filth.

[racufe]

@RomanticCrusader te respondo en bello castellano.Aqui el unico pais de impuros son EE.U, pais que se ha hecho de toda la diversidad cultural europea, no sabeis ni de donde procedeis. Para cobardes vostros que exterminasteis a los verdaderos norteamericanos: LOS INDIOS, y seguis masacrando a la humanidad con vuestra guerras ilegales y genocidas, vosotros si que sois cobarddes que os valeis de la tecnologia para imponeros al resto de paises, pero jamas tendreis el PASADO GLORIOSO DE EUROPA

[RomanticCrusader]

@racufe You are nothing. I deny the United States in every respect. The Spainards and their catholics brought upon the corruption of the north.. The only pure lands.. And I simply hate all spainards for taking away my fucking homeland.

[Versidious]

@RomanticCrusader Bro, you a fucking faggot. I shit in your prostitute mother's milk.

[Kainlarsen]

@RomanticCrusader Maybe while you're at it, you could deny yourself, and cut your throat?

Any faggot who barks on about 'purity' is a fucking moron, and deserves only the company of other, equally stupid, people.

[RomanticCrusader]

@Kainlarsen I have my reasons for my hate, my friend. The reasons why I hate is long gone from your memory.

[Kainlarsen]

@RomanticCrusader You sad bastard. Clinging onto the problems of dead generations and trying to justify them as your own... I pity you.

[RomanticCrusader]

@Kainlarsen No, they're my problems because I've lived them;

[Kainlarsen]

@RomanticCrusader Suuuuure, you keep right on telling yourself that...

Fool.

[RomanticCrusader]

@Kainlarsen Nei. If you actually payed attention to the nordic culture, you'd know these things. You do not live, breathe, and fight for that which was taken from you..

[Kainlarsen]

@RomanticCrusader And where is your proof for this claim? All I hear is the ramblings of a nazi robot.

[Kainlarsen]

@F0reseer Finnish is part of the Ural-Altaic group of languages, along with Turkish, Hungarian and most oriental languages.:)

[F0reseer]

@Kainlarsen I thought the Ural-Altaic Hypothesis has lost its popularity in the linguistic community in the last 20 years. I can see the resemblance of Japanese to Finnish, but I thought scholars have yet to actually prove they are related...

[Kainlarsen]

@F0reseer I was always under the impression that they weren't directly related as such, just that some commonalities between x language and y language would then lead to the next, and so on. I know that Finnish has no relation to the languages on its nearest neighbours, Sweden and Russia, but would seem to share some similarities with Estonian, and even Hungarian. The latter is stranger, because of the distance between them. I have a little theory on why...

[ojohndeath]

@IrishCelticPrincess i read it happy <3

[HellFeima]

Как же я люблю эту песню! Просто с ума схожу! Спасибо финским братьям и сестрам за такое чудо!

[pepperfanhp]

i love this song! my dance teacher did a really cool tribal looking modern dance to this song!

[rachelnwonderland]

Holy crap. This is epic.

[FinsmakarnSvyatoslav]

Wha... Erf... What F0reseer said isn't that Swedish is very closely related to Hindi rather that Finnish is very different from Swedish. They are part of different language groups.

The Indo-European cultures have intermixed FAR before any definite nations even existed. The Finno-Ugric group has presumably established earlier and is independent with it's own ethnic and cultural traits.

[SaltySeaSela]

I absolutely adore the beat of this song!

[Hotzenblotz01]

This song is so awsome, yes the Kalevala! wow! Love it - thanks for share! Greetings from Germany!

[JonEliasV]

@F0reseer You are right, for some reasen, the people from the hindi speaking areas wanderd northwest, all the way to the scandinavian area,

quite odd though, becouse usually people in the move wander to hotter lands, not like Scandia, but what do i know.

[EneriGiilaan]

@JonEliasV This is not necessary the case at all. AFAIK modern understanding is that languages, genes (in some cases indicating some definable group of people if you will) and cultures tend to move and mix nearly independent of each other.

Actually the older view of some self consistent closed groups of people or tribes wandering around is quite ridiculous if you start to think about it more deeply. Sure there has been also times when something like that has happened, but that is not the norm.

[socrateswept]

@F0reseer Ah, yes, a regular Finno-Ugric language... it's sad to see how many people are ignorant about this.

[FRcypher]

@F0reseer how many times I tried to explain this!!!

[Cosmikh0bo]

Oh the screams at 3:45 just hit me to the spine, sending shivers up and down everywhere.. If i'd be a tree, that would be the part when I would just splinter..

[Vegeta92]

SageLuka: Actually Perkele used to be another name for Ukko, after christianity came to Finland Perkele started to mean devil and was used in bible translations too when the actual word was satanas = adversary. Neo-pagans still refer to Ukko as Perkele, not that much in public tho, so others wouldn't get confused.

[calth9]

god damnit, now i want to get naked and dance around a fire all night... man this song gets into my blood.

[uusge]

@calth9 I'm too)

[FixxxeR208]

@calth9 I'm with you!

[chipepwa1]

Fantástico!!!

[Azarien]

Lyrics anyone? All that I could find are somewhat similar but definitely not what is actually sung...

[Ainhoa1666]

i could give you, but look what people have written comments before, they are already given by stormerne =)

[guallen]

que xulo

[SuperHantala]

SzelsoFa! Ukko was a MALE god, according to the Finnish national epos 'Kalevala'. Also known as Thunder...

The God of the sky and lightnings...

[Im4EckTanzerOne]

i find this jans good

[Piwobrody]

I agre it is an exelent one, just like the rest I mean when I listen to their music every single song is so unique, has its own spirit and will. Onelstly one more time I have to add.

Pure AWESOMEENEES!

[CanadiaNecro1]

I gotta say// this is my fav song of all time. My an my bf fuck to this album an GOD these scands are so fuckin hot!! who would have thought?

[supert0ast]

Incredible song. Gives me such a feeling. I love drawing while listening to this music!

[mailharihere]

cant get my ears out of this music !!

[Piwobrody]

pure AWESOMNESS!!

much respect from Poland

[stormerne]

The song is a spell to raise a powerful storm. It calls on the god Ukko and the goddess Akka. Here is a translation of the words, split into two posts. Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka Weavers all of winds and weather Pray I do to mighty masters Raise a wind and make it whirling Raise a wind and make it whirling Make a gale that's great and growing Tear up tar stumps off the roadside Pull the pine trees off the lake shore Break the tops of giant oak trees Crash their robust roots to splinter

[stormerne]

Rise thou wind to blow and bellow

Gust and gale to whirl all over

Rise thou wind to blow and bellow

Rage and rave, thou angry weather,

Blow thou wind through more than six years

Rage through summers more than seven

[stormerne]

Rapids rise to rush in torrents

Aged waters to run swiftly

And thou self rush like the rapids

And prevail without a hindrance

Pray I do to mighty masters

Raise a wind and make it whirling

Raise a wind and make it whirling

Make a gale that's great and growing

[SzelsoFa]

thank you for the translation.

I am also thankful for your short explanation.

According to some sources, Ukko was a goddess (female god) of old Hungarian pagans.

[SuperHantala]

Ukko was a male god, according to the finnish national epos "Kalevala". He was also the god of Thunder...

[SzelsoFa]

there's no reason to argue about the gender of Ukko in Kalevala :) - all I was trying to say is that Ukko was female to the Hungarians. I think it is interesting.

[QQSSO]

Ukko aka Perkele is the same as Perkun or Perun of old Polish and Prussian pagans.

[TheAhti]

@QQSSO Actually you are wrong

[SageLuka]

Nope, Ukko is the lightning-throwing leader of all gods, pretty much the same as Thor in viking mythology, and Perkele is the ultimate evil (the grandfather of Satan). So they're pretty much the opposite.

[Daividh555]

Great song to bad im swedish i cant understand a word

[Ikkeroger]

I agree; it is a very good song. The language however is VERY far from swedish. Not even a germanic language, such as swedish, danish, norwegian, dutch, english, german etc. Think it is finnish? Anyway great to listen to, comprehensible text or not.

[Laqez]

I thought it was something Karelian or maybe Sami.

[sejdaren]

dont know if u got a answer on it..but yes its a form of finnish from the karelia part of finland.

[alarik36]

@Ikkeroger

Yes, the female singers are from Finland and the musicians are from Sweden. And they sing some really ancient Kalevala-tradition songs from Karelia with roots in both iron-age and also bronze-age I have heard. For example Pellervoinen sword is described in detail and similar swords have been found in Sweden and possibly also Finland from the 700 c AD. And Väinömöinen is portrayed as a man with a bronzestitched cloak. And the meaning was that these was only found in the bronze-age,,

[Imalin83]

I found this song today... great sond i like it :)

[MerZuly]

this has the same words as Sanna Kurki-Suonio's song Tuulen nostatus! (I do know she's an ex member of hedningarna) This sounds so weird now cos I'm not used to it like this XD

[gariadara]

the sami, finns, estonians, etc. are all finno-ugric peoples and are related. finnish people do have singing styles similar to the joik.

[pietje32]

Got the cd, pretty brilliant!

[alarik36]

This is probably a song-style deriving from the stone-age. It´s related to north american indian music. They both belong to schamanistic cultures that were bound together over the northern hemisphere.

[ZeDollyDots]

One of the most influencial folk bands ever one would think, but oddly, despite the fact they broke one million barriers, there's no-one to follow them. This can only mean one thing : they're so brilliant no-one dares to walk the path they followed because they're to intimidated by Hedningarna.

[Mikael2626]

great song, love it.!

[hattivat]

one of the best folk songs ever, thanks for uploading ;]
