Maria Kalaniemi charms with her accordion

Maria Kalaniemi charms with her sensitive accordion. Maria is a Finnish accordionist. She was originally classically trained, but has become mostly as folk musician having played this music from childhood, besides her classical music studies, and also at the folk music department of the Sibelius Academy. Technically brilliant as a player, and adept at improvisation, she is also a very powerful, intuitive and sensitive composer, with pieces that stylistically touch in numerous areas but feature her own personality as the driving force. Melody is the meaning and with Maria, listeners are sure to feel her message deeply.

Kiitos, i'm very interested in Scandinavian folk music, especially Finnish.

I found the Finnish language very interesting as well.

@Naeddyr - thanks! With that clue, I managed to track it down elsewhere as "Istuinpa sänkys laidalla" (translated, maybe loosely, as "I Sat on Thy Bed"); there's a very nice vocal version - recognisable, but rather different version of the tune - by Sirkka Mostrom.

@topsamite "I'll sit on the side of your bed".

What does "Istunpa sänkys laitalla" mean?
