This is nice too but I prefer Pauliina's version. :)

@darkworld97 Hmmm - you probably mean a vintage Värttinä song "Matalii ja mustii" - it is in YT.

'Hedningarna' have also an excellent version of this 'Vottikalinna':

However with totally different lyrics.

Then they have also a song called 'Aivoton' (Brainless):

Which in turn shares lot of text with Värttinä version of 'Vot i kaalina'.

This is actually how cultural loans have always worked and are still working in areas with no lawyer activity.

@letusbelennon No lyrics but a brief synopsis: A wife complaining about the stupidness of his husband. She was give a man with 'mans body and man's measure' but 'mind had been taken away while head was still left', 'brains had been removed from the forehead' and such. And she herself would have been worth a better man, more handsome, richer and sturdier.

As a male myself I guess this is a quite universal feeling women every now and then have, everywhere and at every era of the human history ;)

can anyone tell me where to find lyric translations? I love them, and I agree that the language doesn't matter, but I just wonder.
