Oi Dai - folk song from Finland by HAGNÄS live on the street in Berlin

Описание: This song has a very strong impact on people, as I've witnessed in my live concerts and from playing it on the streets. It really sucks you in in a transcendental, hypnotic and mantra-like way. It made an entire bar of a talking crowd be entirely quiet and listen intently.

In short, it's about home-sickness, singing about my trees, my birds and my fields.

The most famous recording is done by the Finnish folk band Värttinä, to be found on a great record which was named by this song. We take the power of traditional music for granted. The mere fact that something conserved mainly through oral tradition shows how strong the music itself is. Every person along the way contributed to the song and in particular in this song I can really feel rooted because of a community backing up those melodies and words.

Filmed with a simple go-pro set up, I'm really happy with how this video turned out to be.

Thanks a million to William Schmidt for staying with me in the cold while I was bringing warmth into people's hearts with my music.

Lyrics:

Kuin oisin omilla mailla
oman pellon pientarilla
oi dai oman pellon pieantrilla

Omat kuuset kuuntelisi
omat oppisi petäjät
oi dai omat oppisi, omat oppisi petäjät

toisin lintu laulelisin
toisin kukkuisin käkönen
oi dai, toisin kukkuisin, toisin kukkuisin käkönen

nyt oon mailla vierahilla
tuiki tuntemattomilla
oi dai, tuiki tuntemattomilla

miss ei lennä meiän linnut
eikä vaaku mein varikset
oi dai, eikä vaaku, eikä vaaku mein varikset

mihin jouvun mie polonen
jouvuin joutsen joukostani
oi dai, jouvuin joutsen, jouvuin joutsen joukostani

haihuin hanhiparvestani
haihuin hanhiparvestani
oi dai, haihuin hanhi
haihuin hanhiparvestani

tok mie lintu laulelisin
sekä kukkuisin käkönen
oi dai
toisin kukkuisin
toisin kukkuu kukkuu kukkuisin käkönen

Translation:

as if I'm on my own land, at my own field
my spruces would listen to me and my pines learn from me
my birds would sing differently, the cuckoos cuckoo differently
now I'm on a foreign land, all unknown
where our birds don't fly, nor our crows craa
where will poor I go, I got lost from my group of swans
I got away from my flock of geese
surely my birds would be singing, and my cuckoo cuckooing
oh my, cuckoo, cuckko the cuckoo
