Grannens Bastu - The Neighbours Sauna

Basic, simple, beginners, but fun tune from Finland that I play on the bowed harp (stråkharpa) in this clip (my poor bowed harp have been hanging on the wall forever!). I sing the lyrics that goes with it as well.

Grannens bastu den har vällt omkull och våran står och lutar.
Grannens bastu den har vällt omkull och våran står och lutar.
Bättre ha en krokig en än att vara utan.
Bättre ha en krokig en än att vara utan.

The neighbours sauna has fallen down and ours are on its way.

Better to have a bent one than to be with out.

Hey mate just a couple of question: what tuning do you use on your bowed lyre? and do you use horsehair strings?

[carazide]

Great tune and singing. Also, the Shotgun looks brutal.
