Finnish Kalevala Rune song & Finland's coastline - Raudan synty (Veera Voima)

Описание к видео Finnish Kalevala Rune song & Finland's coastline - Raudan synty (Veera Voima)

Beautiful Finland's seaside from a German documentary about the Baltic coasts and a rendition of the story about the origin of iron from Kalevala.
Veera Voima is a Finnish folk singer who specializes in rune singing. Her project "Myths of Making" is based on the birth myths of Kalevala. This is a short version of her song "Raudan Synty" (The Origin of Iron): I've taken most of the instrumental part out because I just wanted to listen to the calm singer's voice, you can hear the full song at the singer's official web page: http://www.veeravoima.net/page1.htm

Thanks to the Old Man Moon for translating it for me XD

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Yes I know the birth of iron
I understand the origin of steel

Water is the oldest of brothers
Iron is the youngest of brothers

Here with us the nights come alone
Alone the dawn comes
Alone is born the Maiden of Death
Maiden of Death the Mother of Earth
Alone is born, alone grows
Alone is born, alone grows

At the vast open marshes
swinging in quagmire pendulum

Laid asleep in grass so good
Earth's girl low maiden
Laid asleep in grass so good
on top of a beautiful heath
forgot her bosom open
forgot her bosom open
and spilled to the ground her milk
thus trickled the white liquid
From bosom so ample
From nipples of the maiden

Where she exuded the black milk
there was the origin of soft iron
Where she oozed the white milk
there was the origin of steel
Where she seeped the red milk
there was the origin pig iron

Wolf ran along the marshes
The bear roamed the isthmus
The marshes rose beneath the wolf
The isthmus at the paws of the bear
There arose the iron
There grew the steel
at the footsteps of the wolf
by the paws of a bear
Will not born iron
without fiery fire
and will not become tough
without immersing into water
Water is the oldest of brothers
Iron is the youngest of brothers


LYRICS:
kyllä tieän rauan synnyn
arvoan alun teräksen

se on vanhin veljeksiä
rauta nuorin veljeksiä

yksin meillä yöt tulevat
yksin päivät valkiavat
yksin syntyy tuonen tyttö
tuonen tyttö maan emonen
yksin syntyy yksin kasvaa
yksin syntyy yksin kasvaa

suon avoilla maan navoilla
heilurilla hettehellä

nukkuipa nurmelle hyvälle
maan tyttö matala neiti
nukkuipa nurmelle hyvälle
ja kanervalle kaunihille
auki rintansa unohti
auki rintansa unohti
ja lypsi maahan maitoansa
niin valutti valkiaista
utareista uhkuvista
nänneistä nimettömistä

Se kun lypsi mustan maion
siitä saatiin melto rauta
ja kun valkein valutti
siitä tehtihin teräkset
sekun puikutti punasen
siitä saatiin räkyrauta

susi juoksi suota myöten
karhu kannasta samosi
suo nousi suen jälessä
kannas karhun kämmenille
siihen nousi rauta ruoste
ja kasvoi teräs karanko
suen sorkkien sijoille
karhun kämmenen perille

eipä synny rauta raukka
ilman tuimakkaa tuletta
eikä kasva karkiaksi
ilman veessä kastamatta
vesi on vanhin veljeksiä
rauta nuorin veljeksiä
