@SageLuka This is the original version of Kalevala and the origins are from Finland. Back in Lönrot's days, lot's of scandinavian people used to sing their stories in poems because it's much easier to remember stories if you make it into a poem, Lönrot didn't create Väinämöinen or other people and stories told in Kalevala, he listened the poems, wrote them down and published them in a book which he named Kalevala after Karjala where he heard the poems

This is beautiful and kind of melancholic

Красиво. А мелодия напоминает белорусскую "Перепёлочку".

@Sudenkorentoinen Same here:) My mom still might sing this to me when i'm feeling down or tired, and i love it ! I'm already grown up, and this song will never lose it's feel or meaning to me

Väinämöinen was here.
Even Väinämöinen himself would be proud of your talent with the Kantele. Suteki!

Yes, it totally is a finnish song since our national epic, Kalevala, is meant to be read by singing the text with this melody. I dunno about the origins of the melody though, it could've come from abroad centuries ago. This version of it, by the way, isn't the original one. The notes go a little differently so this sounds a little bit more sad... And way more complicated. It's beautiful, though! ^_^
