I am that guy that loved to learn songs from everywhere and in different languages like, Hindi, Icelandic, Hungarian, Japanese, Chinese, German, and the Sami one happens to be this one, but it was some years ago and I still love it.
We listen on you in school cuz we learn about different people (Samer, native Americans, Aborigines.etc.etc) and that was amazing. Girl you have a amazing voice 😊
I'm part Sami too my great grandparents were immigrants from Finland, but they died long before i was born so i never knew them. I've been trying to learn more about the Sami culture today and their history so i can understand my heritage better.
Usually the Saamis back home would say, you either are a Saami or you're not, theres no being a part Saami. And that is only meant in a very deep , profund way, not in a nasty mean sort of way. :)
i am living in Brussel. i do not understand the lyrics, but this song is beautiful : with a lot of sun and energy. In 2011 i visit north Finland and Norway and i discovered the Sami cultur. respect for the Sami people.
@@gregdelaney119 it can of course be mixed with sampmi language as in this song but like the indians the joik is the old part totally without words. Still they are based upon feelings not words.
Woah! In parts of this her voice somehow sounds more like a musical instrument than a voice. It’s doing a really beautiful bouncy thing I don’t quite understand, but love. It’s really impressive.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Sami isn't Swedish but Sofia speaks Swedish perfectly, being a Swedish Sami woman from what I understand. Swedish has a lot of bouncyness, maybe it is from there.
@@unwnme It has nothing to do with Swedish language. Go check "Joiken fra Ante-filmen", which is a well known joik from the Norwegian side of the border. The same yoik is performed by the band Intrigue, Eadni Nieida, in a heavy yoik version.
I too have Sami ancestry from Norway from my mother's side, thou yours is Sweden , love your music of the northern European Indians and very much liked your music known as Yoiks . I always wondered why I Liked the American Indians music which is very similar ,now I know why, very similar. With much love Jason from America.....
Please, do not call Sami people "indians". And as it is, the ones you CAN call Indian are the ones native to India. The indigenous peoples living in what is now called USofA are not indians. But I love that you love this song and Sami people. Regards, Irene
Why are you using ''indian''? They are not from India! Colonial mentality. Please decolonize before using degratory and racist slurs, and inacurate names. The Sami, Fins, and Estonians are distant related to 1st nation/indigenous peoples of America!
Sofia är en underbart sångare och har en vacker röst och kommunicerar den samiska kulturen mycket bra med hon's musik . Sofia is a wonderful singer and has a beautiful voice and communicates the Sami culture very well with her music
For more than a year I have been writing a fantastic book about the Sámi, the Vikings and the Hungarians. One of my characters is a goddess belonging to the Sami people... She's blonde, has blue eyes and her name is Irene. And I discovered this artist and her song "Irene" today...
@@annliisajulia7885 Why would my book be offensive ? No reason, really. Then i'm nobody. I write it for me cause i like that and i will probably be my only reader.
I really do like this joik. It is airy and has kind of this feeling of wide open space of Lapland hills. Why I got intersted about this artist was because I saw her performance as a "Nåjd"in TV Film Midnightt sun. Her performance as "Noita" in my language Finnish really did warm up my heart and reminded me of my childhood experiences and some people in my family.
Magique et la magicienne,la fée danse afin de n'être plus qu'en phase avec la musique, c'est extrêmement beau,touchant et féerique!!! Félicitation et mille merci car là j'ai voyagé!👍🌾👌👏👏🔅👏🌟👏🙏🌾🌝🌞🌿💯💎🕊🌷🧚💐🧚♂️🌷🧚♀️🌿🥰

We are many but scattred and divided. The sad thing is that not many of us qualifies into Sametingets criterias of being sons or daughters of Sápmi. It's like we are outcast from politics from both Sverigedemokraterna and the Sametinget. I'm only 1/16 Sápmi but I still think it is a huge part of my heritage and I full out embraces it.
@@mrSkandalpolisen Make your own Ting. Who are they to tell you you're not sami enough? And I wouldn't say you're unwelcome in Sverigedemokraterna. I can't imagine they would be against having samis in their ranks aslong as they understand the purpose of the party. Mass immigration from outside Europe is their focus. Not sami culture. No one cares if you're sami.
@Lucas Björkén I dont think many modern people have seen the discrimination you talk about. What kind of visual discrimination are the sami experiencing today? Also, its strange you assume he is american when his name is scottish.
I don't speak Spanish. This is an English translation of the lyrics: Irene In Sárevuomi the earmarked reindeer took off Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene The original lyrics have two different versions of these lines but it doesn't make sense to translate those differently in English. The last line mentions two male ancestors of Irene and Irene herself. It is a so called "yoik" with Irene as the subject. The lyrics is just hinting about the yoik's meaning.

So pretty! Breathtaking! She makes winter look fun! Have always suspected that either Richard Marx or his producer plagiarized these works when they published Marx’s Little Drummer Boy in 2012. His sounds, even the videography are just too similar to be coincidence. Unfortunate that the label shut down her original 2009 video.

I'm a Hungarian and I'm so glad to discover songs made by my fellow Uralic cousins from up north (Y) :) God bless you Sami cousins (Y)
