Nuku Nuku (Finnish Lullaby) - Little Blue Globe Band

Nuku Nuku is a traditional Finnish lullaby. It features the singing of Taika and Saima, who you see in the video. The song is quite unique as it is in 5/4 time, which was common in traditional Finnish folk music of yesteryear. It also features a "reborn" doll, which was handmade in England (Reborn dolls are ultra-realistic handmade dolls). The video was filmed in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, directed by Matt and co-directed by Taika.
Nuku nuku nurmilintu
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle.
Lintu tuopi liinahapaijan,
Haapana hyvän hamehen.
Kaskeloinen korvatyynyn,
Pääskynen peäalusen.
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle
Sleep, Sleep, Grassland Bird
Sleep, sleep, grassland bird*,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Drift down on the good earth.
The birds will bring you a linen shirt,
A wigeon will bring you a nice skirt.
A koskelo will bring you a little pillow,
The swallows will make for you a cushion.
Sleep, sleep, little grassland bird,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Lay down on the good earth
