Singing a haunting Finnish folk song | Learn Finnish

Hi guys! In this video, I bring to you a hauntingly beautiful Finnish folk song. As a native Finnish speaker, I find the Kalevala metre lyrics deeply touching, and the melody is equally elegant. Maybe I love the song so much because it tells about a birch tree - I love all trees, but birch trees have a special place in my heart.
I hope you enjoy the song!
To learn more about Kalevala metre, see this video: • Introduction to Finnis...
Kaunis koivu
Yksin kasvoi kaunis koivu, yksin kummulla yleni
ilman ikiystävätä, vailla vieruskumppania.
Tuota huoli hoikka koivu, valkoviittainen valitti.
Itki illat, itki aamut, perätysten päivät pitkät.
Vesi vieri tien oheeseen, kyynel kylmille kiville.
Kuka kuulisi poloista, lohduttaisi onnetonta?
Veisi viestin virstain päähän, sanat saattaisi suruiset
koivun nuoren kohtalosta, valkoviittaisen elosta.

Todella hyvä. Sussa on potentiaalia ihan oikeasti, hyvä henki :) ja mä olen musiikkikulinaristi, ihan erilaisia genrejä (thrash metal, opera metal, hienot hellät surulliset laulut kuten varpunen jouluaamuna). Hyvä sulle :)

Kiitos paljon! Tällaiset yksinkertaiset surumieliset laulut on minun makuun :)

Kaunis! ❤ Where can I find the sheet music for this song?

[@FinnishFlow]

Kiitos! I couldn't tell you, as I didn't find any sheet music myself! But you could always try some Finnish folk song collections.
