This is a fenno-swedish (swedish-speaking finn) rendition of Särkkijärven polkka. We don't identify with sweden at all. Idk why you included the flag of Sweden in the beginning. That's be like including the flag of France for a video of a french-canadian song.
Why do you speak Swedish - because you are Swedes! Ethnically and culturally you have only been separated for 200years, but we used to be the same country - ever since we Christened you. And les Québécois are French. Look at food, wine, architecture in Montreal. Quite a few French movies produced in Quebec. Overlapping celebrities, etc.
@@MrJerppu I assumed you were a Swedish Finn since you brought it up. Some Swedish Finns make a point to underline they are Finns, not Swedes. Whatever - it wasn't the case here, so I'll leave it at that. "Nobody in Finland speaks Swedish", well ylogivally you are simply wrong. I had a Finnish girlfriend in Uppsala university, at least she spoke Swedish well. So there are definitly some, which logically nullifies your claim of "nobody".

About 5+% of finnish people talk swedish as their mother's language. To my ears the great version here is sung in 'finnish' dialect of swedish - inte på riks svenska- so it is bit misleading to call it Finnish-Swedish folk song. Säkkijärven polkka is and remains an important part of Finnish folk lore. An amazing piece of history related to Säkkijärven polkka follows. FInland lost it's second largest city Viipuri in peace making after the Winter war in March 1940 to Soviet Union. The so called Continuation war started in June 1941. After the FInnish troops conquered back Viipuri, it was discovered that Russians had mined the mideval castle of Viipuri with bombs to be detonated by radio signals. To eliminate the danger of detonation, Säkkijären polkka was played 24h several days in frequencies Russians might be using until the bombs had been neutralized.
Don't ask woman her weight, man how much he earn money, Finns on who's side they've been during the Great Patriotic War, and what they did on Soviet lands.

Its really good and translates faithfully just wish they included the full song in the translation

Could be due to the fact that Swedish is a Germanic language meanwhile Finnish is a finnic language.
