Hey~ ♡
Disclaimer-- I know I suck. I tried to pronounce the words correctly, but it’s hard and I don’t know Finnish. Except how to count to five. That I know.
Sorry I’ve been (and will still be) super-duper busy! I’ve been dealing with a tight schedule, varying illnesses (none of them severe, but very annoying), lots of driving and doctor appointments, and I just haven’t had a lot of time to do anything. I do have a couple of videos done, but I don’t want to upload them until after a different video that is still WIP (it’s been a nightmare trying to make that thing. A lot of my audio got deleted, I’ve had laryngitis the few times I actually had TIME to do ugh). Anyway, I did this and it’s a little bit of peak for a couple of the videos I will be posting in the (hopefully near) future. So yeah. :D
I made a version of this with Sweden singing with Finland, but like this one the best. Plus, I suck at sounding like Sweden. I’m an alto, not a bass.
--LYRICS--
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle.
Lintu tuopi liinahapaijan,
Haapana hyvän hamehen.
Kaskeloinen korvatyynyn,
Pääskynen peäalusen.
Nuku, nuku, nurmilintu
Väsy, väsy västäräkki.
Nuku, kun mie nukutan,
Väsy, kun mie väsytän.
Nukuta, jumala, lasta.
Makauta, mariainen.
Kuro kiisan silmät kiinni
Anna unta aamuun asti
Kuro kiisan silmät kiinni
Anna unta aamuun asti
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle.
--ENGLISH--
Sleep, sleep, little grassland bird*,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Lay down on the good earth.
The birds will bring you a linen shirt,
A wigeon will bring you a nice skirt.
A koskelo will bring you a little pillow,
The swallows will make for you a cushion.
Go to sleep, bird of grass
Get tired, wagtail
Sleep while I’m putting you to sleep
Get tired when I’m making you tired
Put, my God, a child to sleep
make her, little Virgin Mary, to lay down
close Kiisa’s eyes
give her a dream until morning
close Kiisa’s eyes
give her a dream until morning
Sleep, sleep, little grassland bird,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Lay down on the good earth.
