This was the song I danced with my husband to at my wedding. Hes Norwegian, I'm american and he used to sing this song to me when we had to part before we were finally able to be married and be together
I have a canadian boyfriend now, I'm danish and I so think of the song because we have to part. Congratulations on your marriage and no longer being apart
so nice to see how far and wide this song has travel from its origins in Åland, Finland. Im so glad and pleased as a Ålander that this is so appreciated. We sung this every year in school and i really love it, especially as Åland is a sea-based place.
Randomly had the urge to look this song up a few months after I was in a musical of “Pippi Longstocking” that has this song. The musical got cancelled because of covid, but this song still sticks with me!
Slightly different words, but the tune and meaning is the same as a song I learned and sang not knowing where it came from, but it was a round, and one of my absolute favorite tunes! I loved hearing this!
THIS IS A FINNISH FOLK SONG Who can sail without wind? is a folk song known from Finland's Swedish countryside and it is believed that it comes from Åland. It goes in minor at 3/4 time. The opening line is found in the fifth stanza of an 18th century poem, "Good night, good night, my dearest" and in its current form the song was first published in 1909. The poem relates to a theme that is common in sailor songs - to be separated from it you are in love sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vem_kan_segla_f%C3%B6rutan_vind%3F
@Stabil First of all, all Swedish-speaking people in Finland have their roots in Sweden. Thus, based on your logic, Jean Sibelius is Swedish, and his works are Swedish. The earliest known Swedish settlements date back to the early Viking Age, more than 1,000 years ago. There has undoubtedly been migration from Sweden to Finland in the past. Secondly, there is no way to prove that the people who created "Who can sail without the wind" were written exclusively by the Swedes, and if it had, you would not know how long these people have lived in Finland. My family also has some roots in Sweden, but my family's achievements do not fall into Sweden's property, even when those acts date back to the time when Finland belonged to the Kingdom of Sweden. People from Finland have also gone to Sweden for hundreds of years, and no one has said the achievements of these people are Finnish. However, I have seen the Swedish Book of the Swedish poets, in which J. L. Runeberg was said to be a Swedish poet. After all, Runeberg was born during the reign of the Kingdom of Sweden in 1804. In Finland, he is considered the national poet of our Finnish country.
@@EmilM-pb2hn Kära Emil, Om din teori stämmer är jag också svensk. Min familj kom till Finland från Sverige redan innan befästningsarbetet på Åland började. Många nya svenskar kom med din idé eftersom till exempel familjen Runegerg i Finland anlände till Finland från Sverige. J. L. Runeberg är en berömd poet som anses vara en av hörnstenarna i finsk poesi.
If I write a Swedish song in Japan, does the song become a Japanese song then? No. A Swedish song is a Swedish song regardless where it is written. And the first form of the song comes from the 1700 century when Fin and Swe was the same country, but ruled by Sweden.

I'm so glad I get to sing this in choir this year :) beautiful.
This might be one of my favorite pieces to have ever done in a choir, mainly because for ONCE the altos have the melody.
Ahh This is one of my favorite swedish folk songs and sometimes when I hear "Davy Jones theme" from the pirates of the carribean I sing this song.

It's made by a Swede living in Finland.
