Ancient and old beautiful song! I love it, I can feel how its energy of missing someone comes into my body...

This song has great beauty and depth. The singing is gorgeous and has a feeling of something very ancient. The enunciation is really clear and almost makes the English translation superfluous. I am glad that it has been provided though and thank Susan Sinisalo for her hard work. After listening to this amazing music, I spent some time searching for the Loituma album, 'Things of Beauty' and was surprised to find it on Amazon UK for £259!!! After much internet searching, I found a new CD for $5 in an online record store in the USA. Thank you reindeerdreams for introducing me to the beautiful music of Loituma and Hedningarna. Kiitos paljon

The way I see it, he never came back. First she tells us how she misses him and would notice him mile away and how she would run to him when he returns. Then she goes on about how she would go to his side even he would be dead and bloody. Then it goes tricky. I see that in the end section she comes back and tries to say that he is not dead, still good looking and in full strenght. As if she would not want to jinx it. She still tries to reassure herself even, even in her heart she knows he is not coming back.As for the song, I have a gut feeling that it is really really old.

The term about masculinity of men is a bit cultural thing, I am afraid. I have seen feminic people from many races of men - even islamic, yet they still don't uphold my ideals about masculine men. Too much grease on hair, too much bling bling, they even smell funny - I am not sure if they are men or flowers really. There is no superior people nor superior race. The human race would be at its best if they could the strenght of the different cultures and people and use it as a strenght.

Nah, the soldier or her husband came back alive, as she sings in the last part of the song :) The part which makes you think that the soldier is dead is about how much she misses him and loves him, thus she would touch him, hug him and stay beside him, even if he would appear to be dead - quite touching :3

Extinction rarely makes any sense, especially when it comes to something like cultures and other things that make every country unique. I doubt you would agree if you turned Rob N's message around and see Finland overrunning Islam and its beautiful culture in 50 years. That will not happen, nor anyone has any need for such nonsense, and by turning things around you see how stupid the whole thing sounds afterwards.

What is the picture, if you can say?

Based on the current situation, assuming the immigration rate will stay the same and that birth rate of the Muslims will stay higher than the rate with the "base population" and that there will be no secularization of the Muslims, the amount of Muslims will reach half point in the year 2170. I really think we have more pressing matters to be concerned at the moment - especially based on how the the Tatars (Islamic) more or less completely integrated in less than 100 years.

To bad in 50 years Finland will be over ran by Islam and this beautiful culture will be extincted !!!!

One of my favorite songs. Period. Definitely my favorite Loituma song, though I love many others as well. :)
