The Baltic Moonshine Band

Minä syrämmestäni rakastin
sua elinaikani
Ja vaikka onkin turha
mun kaikki toivoni

Et itse kyllä luvannut
mua koskaan heittää pois
vaan köyhyyteni tähden
minä hyljätyksi jäin

Linnut ne oksapuissa
kauniisti laulelee,
vaan suru syräntäni
kovemmin koittelee

Jos se aurinko vielä nousis,
joka on jo laskenut
Jos se rakkaus vielä syttyis,
joka on jo sammunut

translation:

I loved you with all my heart
For all of my life
And even all my
Hope is futile

You never promised
To throw me out
It's because of my poverty
I got abandoned

The birds are singing
Nice on the tree branches
But the grief in my heart
Is much harder

If only the Sun would still rise
Which has already sunken
If only the love would ignite
The love which has burned out

To the top

13. Minä syrämmestäni
(trad) Elina Kykyri, the Finnish Folk Music Nightingale, is back! She sings traditional but unfamiliar tunes to me, so I have still open mind when I think these strange chords for her songs. --Jore

It's always a great pleasure to hear Elina singing on our discs. We've been lucky to have such talented players and singers all over our CD sets. This is obviously a sad, Finnish song, (aren't they all?) but it has a contemporary feel about it due to Jore's clever chording. Lovely. -- Davy
