Title : Liekkas/warm

Nástegokčasa vuolde
mon ráhkadan luottaid
Guovssahasa sánit
libardit dáivahis

Jaskatvuođa hálddus
mu vuoigŋamat dávistit
Juoga savkala munnje
ahte leat boahtime

Doala mu gieđa
Njávkka mu niera
savkal čáppa sániid
jeđđe litnasit
Leage nu liekkas vai mon in galbmo
Juoiggas vel munnje...

Sánit/lyrics & comp: S.Jannok

Beneath a starlit sky
I make traces
As signs of the northern light
dance above

In the care of silence
my breathing echoes
Something whispers to me
that you are on your way

Hold my hand
Stroke my cheek
Whisper beautiful words
Comfort me tenderly
Please, be warm so I woun't freeze
Give me also a yoik...

Hi, everybody.

This song is called "Leikkas", from her 2007 "White - Ceaskat" CD. The album version is not acoustic like this one in Youtube, but is good as well. She sings some tracks in English too.

She's got a sweet voice, doesn't she?!

@likeTolv Yeah, jazz aint the right description, but really, who cares? :)

I'd say it's kind of world/folk...

[likeTolv]

Were is the jazz? II V I ? Rhythm changes? This is some kind of pop, folk... But not Jazz... Coltrane is Jazz. Maybe they meant the Upright... Who knows... She sings very good anyway...

[Pavva]

It's Liekkas actually but that's cool, nobody likes a wiseass! And not to brag or anything, okay just a lil bit, I know her IRL. *Cheers*

I have heard about her on PRI'S THE WORLD, she has a captivating voice. Fortunately, her album is on sale on iTunes. I wish her the best of luck.
