    The sparrow was the girl's dead little brother, visiting from the heavens. In Finland, we had famine and diseases in the past, unfortunately killing the weak, the poor, the old and the young. The writer of the original poem, Zacharias Topelius, lost a son and wrote this masterpiece later on. Then it came one of the most loved Christmas songs for us Finns.

      Yes, the poem is already written in 1859, a year after his son's death.
      To me this is almost the only Christmas song I like.

      Finnish Christmas songs are often extremely melancholic and it fits the Finnish mentality so well. And also fits metal music well, so that is a marriage made in heaven.

    The correct translation for the homeless line is "It's Christmas, homeless is the miserable sparrow".

    • @NightwishArena
      @NightwishArena Год назад +7

      Ok, now even I, as a native Finnish speaker, understand this line better. Never actually looked up these lyrics to see that there is a comma before "homeless", and it is that sparrow who is homeless and miserable...which of course makes 100% sense now 😂

    For six consecutive years we are supposed to be the happiest nation on Earth and yet our favorite Christmas song is made out of the poem written by a man who wrote it out of the pain of the death of his son who died at the age of 1.
    And further more if you do a deep dive to our traditional and most beloved Christmas songs you'll find out they are really melancholic.

      Another person who apparently doesn't know what things are taken into account in that so-called "happiness index", a little tip, it doesn't measure how often people smile, it measures, among other things, satisfaction with the quality of life, trust in the authorities and administration, what kind of social security the country has, life expectancy, level of education and other similar things.. I don't know if your comment was sarcasm or not, but in any case, this matter has already been explained so many times, even in the media, that I don't understand how people still don't get it. (in fact, these criteria are explained annually every time this study is published and yet every year people wonder about the same principles that have already been explained many times on the basis of which the index is formed)

      It's ok though, you still can learn.
      It might be terrifying if you've spent your whole life taking everything literally but once you crack the code a whole new world opens up for you.
      Give it a shot, it's worth the try!

      @@PeeVee1979 Sarcasm and irony are both types of humor that perhaps work face to face as intended, on the internet where 90% of people seem to be at the level of an amoeba in their thinking, that interpretation of humor is more difficult, look, I don't have any psychic gifts or a crystal ball, anyway, When a thousands peoples a year ask the same question in all seriousness, it's pretty hard to conclude that your comment was sarcasm, As I said, I am not a medium nor do I have clairvoyance.

      @@PeeVee1979 That so-called "default setting" is only because I've been around the internet long enough that I've noticed the unfortunate reality that 90% of people are either stupid as boots, complete assholes, or alternatively professional complainers who complain about every single possible thing there is to complain about. It's very difficult not to get that "default setting" when you realize the fact that so-called "normal" actually nice, reasonable and objective people are a tiny fraction of people, and my experience is not limited to the internet. Having visited 24 different countries, I've met so many people that I've noticed the same unfortunate fact right here in "real life". And you yourself didn't seem to notice my own humor either, so I wouldn't take other people's sarcasm or sense of humor seriously, or did you seriously imagine that in everyday conversation, psychics and crystal balls are mentioned quite seriously with some other purpose than humor? It seemed that that much-talked-about sarcasm also flew over "your own dandruff" a lot. Eipä se sarkasmin tuntemus tunnu sielläkään päässä toimivan sen paremmin , juuri tuota tarkotin sillä että tietyt läpät eivät toimi täällä somen ihmeellisessä maailmassa samalla tavalla kuin naamatusten keskustelussa jännä juttu kun ei taas näppäimistö tulkinnutkaan mun ilkikuraista ilmettä ja hymyä kun tota komennettia kirjotin about ne ameebatkin olis kyllä naamatusten tajunneet että läppää ja huumoria oli sekin, tota samaa kysymystä joka siis olis vaan pitänyt meedion lailla tajuta "sarkasmiksi" on kysytty ihan vakavissaan varmaan 300 kertaa pelkästään allekirjoittaneelta pelkästään viimevuoden aikana, jotta on melkoisen vaikea päätellä ketä somessa asiaa kysyy tosissaan ja kuka huumorilla

    Basicly all songs we have concerning religious music are very melancholic, but i still find them pretty. It has something.. very finnish about it that i enjoy :D It's the serene -30C frozen air feel to it, when nature is still and everything is silent. It's beautiful in very dead way.

    Ancient Finnish culture had the belief of soul birds and believing your deceased loved ones would come back as protective spirits. In the Eastern parts of the country, these beliefs were still partially alive a little over 100 years ago. You can see everything mixing with Christian tones in this song.

    Thank you!! This is such a beautiful song! I absolutely love Marko's voice and the choir on this one!
    There is something special about hearing a singer sing in their native tongue.... in this case Marko singing in Finnish.
    You have actually heard this song before. You heard it sang by Tarja, but this version is very different from Tarja's. Hers was more classical.

    Hi ! This hits every time I listen to it. As you both saw, in Finland we learn early on to heavy music. I´m glad you guys did this.
    But there is a special year within Raskasta Joulua, 2007 , and there "Tulkoon Joulu" you could listen to it by yourself it´s absolutely
    incredible and among many, Marco sings there too. Merry Christmas to whole Family ! Thank you for this one, Greets from Finland.
