In this video the exotic Sami/Norwegian group Vajas is performing the song "Star Girl", while the camera visits the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway. The lyrics are yoiked (or sung) in the old native Sami language. You can read more about that language here:

Read this rough translation of the lyrics for "Star Girl":

In a dark world
we need stars
So that lost people can find their way home again

In a world that has become gray
we need colors
So that saddened people find their joy again

We yoiked the star girl
she shined
She was bright

In a soundless world
we need tones -
So silenced people find their songs again

VAJAS:

Ánde Somby; Sami yoik (joik) and vocals
Kristin Mellem: Violin and vocals
Nils Johansen: Guitars and keyboards

I love it. Thank you for sharing. I wish I understood the lyrics though!

[nadflah]

@TheNakedLibrarian, well, if you open and read the video description under the video window you will know what Ánde is singing about :-)

[pestarmageddon]

Will you give the translation for Sparrow of the Wind aswell?

[nadflah]

pestarmageddon, yes, now, on October 11 I have edited the video description for "Sparrow of the Wind" to include an English translation of the lyrics.

[ty99999returns]

I love this song and pictures, thanks for posting.

[nadflah]

Thanks, please read the complete video description with the translation. Ànde's poetic words are wisdom. Spread the link to your friends.

[akikowolf]

@MonsBadonicus Just as there is more than one emotion there is more than one joik.

[gfjagex111]

[Borogoroeaesum]

hio  ueoah ehuma sai do toaia!

[MonsBadonicus]

I had dismissed yoiking as weird and obnoxious after hearing a few pieces of it a while ago, but this one changed my mind.

Really fantastic, and powerfully emotional.
