I made a loose translation of the text too, seen below. It was really hard to translate though.

@IhanaPuhuaSuomi No wonder - the lyrics are indeed heavily based on an ancient chant ;)
BTW, in English text the term "rune" is often used as a translation for the Finnish word "runo" which means more or less the same as "poem" - "rune" is used especially when referring to "traditional" poetry. This can cause some confusion with rune script writing system used in Viking era Scandinavia - they are two totally separate concepts.

The way this song is chanted is like almost someone chanting off an ancient rune; a long forgotten tale that nobody dares speak.

@ralphyboy25 Cheers, I'll check that out too.

@krolikxxxx It's incredibly seductive... But also maternal.

@Beelzebubbbbles And while my friend Eneri doesn't mention it above, I would also check out their CD "Hippjokk". It doesn't have the women vocalists on it, mostly instrumental works, but definely a nice addition to round out any Hedningarna collection :)

@Beelzebubbbbles OK - good :D
I did check your profile before answering and it said IE - but never mind ;)
You could perhaps check their other records likewise - at least the ones with also have the female vocalists: "Kaksi!" and "Karelia Visa"

@EneriGiilaan Thanks for the advice, I'll check out Digelius Music. I live in Helsinki, so I shouldn't have too much trouble locating Finnish folk albums!

@Beelzebubbbbles I really hope you find the record ("Trä") - a wonderful album, but it seems to be rarity at these days. Amazon has the CD available at times, but not consistently - MP3 loads of the record are also available there.
Digelius Music in Finland also tends to have them available. They have no order form in their web pages - but they sell internationally, you just have to call them or send Email (English is OK). Me and some others have found their service excellent.
Pure magic, i can feel that natural energy... It`s also very, very sexy...
