Anythingnew, are you sure it has tones? I´ve never heard that Finnish was a tonal language, whereas Norwegian (Bokmål) and Swedish are, of course the latter two are Germanic, thus Indo-European, while Finnish is Ugro-Finnic. www.studyinfinland.fi/what_to_study/studying_finnish/characteristics_of_finnish_language
Well, I think you may have a misguided notion of the concept of tones in linguistic terms. Tones are not shown on paper (except in specialized phonetic transcription) and belong to the spoken language, changing the meaning of the words, according to their ascendint, descending, etc quality and Finnish does not have them, as far as I know (and I´m really glad it doesn´t, smile!). Maybe you meant their intonation of the sentences.
Tonal in the sense that each village has own tones so you know where you belong and where they come from. But not tones in morphological sense, only semantic and pragmatic levels. And sadly, when you move to big city to study or for work, the tone is the first thing you´lose.
@Sam G49 Yes, Veri on hungarian is Vér, very similar! Also the finnish word menna/mennä is menni/menne. We can say a lot of similar words still are there, the closest one for the hungarian language is still the hantik language, since we are from the southern Ural, you guys are from the northern. But nice to see, there are still a lot of mementos from our once-shared-history!
Kiitosa paljona! (a Kvääni-Finnish dialect) I sing in the only Kvääni choir in the world "Kvääni Äänii" and we have to have this as a part our repertoire! Such a beautiful voice! Kaunis!
Wow never heard this before and I’m originally from Finland. Now at 40yo and having lived away for half of my life in the UK I have such a draw to Finnish folk music. I sang this out loudly with windows open. No doubt the neighbours thought I’ve lost my mind and am speaking in languages 😂😵
Hyvä nainen!!! I've lived in the US all my life and recently discovered my Finnish roots. I just started learning the language. Such a beautiful language and culture that I'm proud to be a descendant of.
Hailing from the far south, Tbilisi, Georgia, I just listened to this song for the first time. Wonderful, brilliant, bringing all the deep emotions of beautiful land of 1000 lakes to me. I would like to listen to more like this, and to know this beautiful language. Love from the first hearing.

I listen to this song for the very first time and I love it!!! The Voice, the language, the tune - just perfect! The drum plays the rhythm of a heartbeat. It reminds me of swedish Polska. And the first part of the tune sounds very much like the famous La Folia. Thank you so much. Greetings from Slovenia!

Are you sure it is "baarmaat"? There is no "b" in finnish language. "Paarmat " measn horseflies nad its sound logical. Or maybe it is word from the ancient language? Coud anyone answer me? :)
It can mean several things. "Lyö" means "to strike", "Lyöpi" is indeed an eastern dialect, however "lyö" has a wider use. "Lyö vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on "Pane vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on Lyö in this instance means "put your clothes on", but the context means that you should do so quicker or the like. "Kissi lyöpi trummun päälle" could mean "The cat strikes the top of the drum", or "The cat jumps on top of the drum", or "The cat turns the drum on".
Lampaan Polska. Satutko tietämään tähän niitä pitempiä sanoja? Olivat muistaakseni hiukan "rekilaulumaiset" ainut pätkä minkä niistä muistan oli "mitähän ne maksaa, kaksi rotanp******, kallihia ovat. ovat kallihia." Sitä kanssa mietin, että milloin tämä La Folia melodia on tähän lauluun liitetty ja onko sillä joskus ollut joku toinen melodia? Hieno esitys joka tapauksessa. Kiitos tästä videosta.
Kuten hienosti tunnistit, tämä on ns. La Folia -melodia, jota on käytetty useissa länsimaisissa lauluissa. Tämä on yksi tunnetuimmista suomalaisista sanoituksista, johon viitataan muissa sanoituksissa, että lauletaan tällä melodialla. Muista sanoituksista tulee mieleeni ainakin Kekri-laulu "Ei aina kekriä kestä, Ei aina tupia pestä,...". Tuohon kekri-lauluun on myös oma sävel. Eli variaatioissa löytyy!
I am singing this song now, for the people of Ukraine. It is devastating to see the imperialism, racism, colonizer madness of the "Russian President"...He would destroy the world completely if only he could be known as the one who wielded such power...I am sorrowing and this helps some.

Thanks for the explanation, Painajainen, I don´t speak the language but I also hear it with an initial 'p' , i.e. the word 'paarmat'.
Jo Alex Sg+ Finnish doesn't use the letter 'b', except in foreign words, so it has to be 'paarmat'.
And that´s what I can hear, Spankeyfish, as I said.

Because sorrow comes
Let him go:
Horseflies singing
Four mice jump

Mersk wow, thanks for the explanations!
Crank Cuffin, thanks for the translation!
Maybe instead of 'jump', 'jumping' would fit better
I think it is "Anna, iloinen, olla" which would be "let it be, happy one" or "forget about it, happy one".. But it's not an easy line.
Very peaceful, I like it :)
Thank you Maria and Jarona, so glad you enjoyed the song :)

It is "Paarmat". The line in English is "Horseflies are singing, Four mice are jumping.
I have learned it with "Baarmat", I guess it's that in the original lyrics. No idea if it's dialect of some kind or just playing with the language.

What does the "lyöpi" mean?
I see. Thank you :)
It can mean several things.
"Lyö" means "to strike", "Lyöpi" is indeed an eastern dialect, however "lyö" has a wider use.
"Lyö vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on
"Pane vaatteet päälle" - Put your clothes on
Lyö in this instance means "put your clothes on", but the context means that you should do so quicker or the like.
"Kissi lyöpi trummun päälle" could mean "The cat strikes the top of the drum", or "The cat jumps on top of the drum", or "The cat turns the drum on".
The melody is actually a very well known tune across Europe. Google ”La Folia”.
Oh - Händel's famous Sarabande from his Keyboard Suite in D minor HWV 437 has much in common with the tune too.
damn, i never noticed. that's amazing
