I know that all Finish speak as well english as real British so can you translate me piece of this song? 0:49 to 1:10 I'm interested in. I'm pretty sure that Mannerheim's (Finish) will do it for me. By the way greeting from Poland to Suomi.

"Seelinnikoi"

Oh my sweet sisters you young maidens from next door see-e-ee-linni-koi see-e-ee-laja see-e-ee-linni-koi see-e-ee-laja is this the way they fooled us? ardently wooing us wanting us to take us away? it was like that before my mother let me go or my father gave premission

[varttinawww]

we believed those suitors we were waiting those who would take us - ai lole - those who would take us we were waiting for those who would take us we wanted to be with a husband we wanted to be courted - ai lole - courted wanted to be courted

and I a young girl was taken to a fellow's home I a daughter was taken to a different place as a married woman I had no position at all I became a slave I owned nothing

[varttinawww]

I had to humor my husband with his male tricks Ihad to predict those whims of his - ai lole - predict those whims in the day time I served as best I could at night I was nothing but an orphan - ai lole - nothing but an orphan - ai lole - that's how it was at night at night I was nothing but an orphan

stupid girls don't you do as I did stupid girl that I was straying like a fool to a strange place to learn to be a wife straying like a fool to a strange place as I did stupid girl that I was - ai lole - as I did as I did stupid girl that I was

What a lovely song, what a lovely video! It's pure bliss to listen to fairylike maidens driving folk song with beautifully arranged vocals - and somehow sexy to watch them in front of their band also goodlooking band. Keep it up! You're very special!

2005 in spring I was in Värttinä´s concert in Linz (missed a half of the world cup final match Czech-Canada in ice hockey :( ... well, we won anyway ... ;) ...) and fell in love with this group. A half year later I met first time a girl from Finland who recommended me the concert and fell in love with her :) I can still remember how - after she left Prague I was sitting in my room, no idea about the future and listening this song with tears ...). Now I live over 6 years in Finland with her ...
