maybe a stupid question, but in which language is this song? i'm asking because i know finnish and that's why estonian sounds somewhat familiar but not completely of course but this song sounds like something between slavic and finnougric languages so is it some other finnougric language spoken along the border or do i just not know estonian? 😅
Seemingly no one has done this before, so here's my humble attempt at transcribing the lyrics of this song, as well as translation and surface level analysis: (note: lyrics in Russian (yes, in Russian) are transliterated the way they are pronounced rather than the way they would be spelled with Cyrillic) A yesli veterok veteruyetsa A vada valnami valnuyet- Sashe stabude staba stafo Opyat' aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Kus on minu kasekesed? Kus on minu kasekesed? Metsas on Metsas on Kus on minu kasekesed? Kus on minu kasekesed? Kus on minu kasekesed? Metsas on Metsas on Kus on minu kasekesed? Adjuwyqy agena amotha Abydow wenothe sumote suwota Gekest otenawa a mu ka sa Muzyka pa natepu Adjeturmuni kamanda worka Pana sama netu, pastama na ko Pana-na yu kule O na-na-na-mea, na-na-na-mea a! Yesli fortachka ne zakroyetsa A vada valnami valnuyet- Savye stambozhya stabeda fo Opyat' aderzhym (Opyat' aderzhym/taboy aderzhym) Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Taboy aderzhym Gde mai berioziki? Gde mai berioziki? Ani v lesu Ani v lesu Gde mai berioziki? [The outro consists of inaudible singing, with the only discernible words seemingly being “Kus on minu kasekesed” again] Now, what does all of that mean? Translation and analysis: Verse 1 [in Russian]: (And) if (the) wind is winding And (the) water /.../ is waving /with waves/ [A line of nonsense lyrics] Again (I'm) obsessed With you (I'm) obsessed (x5) "Veteruyetsa" is not a real word, it's just a verb created by adding the ending "-yetsa" (denoting a state of being) to the root "veter" (rus. for wind). Unlike the word "volnuyetsa", which can describe the behaviour of waves on water, though it more commonly means "to worry" (infinit. rus. - volnovatsa). Also, yes, I did transcribe the nonsense lyrics just for fun. Refrain [in Estonian] Ok, I don't actually speak Estonian, so I used some commonly available language resources for this part. So, the title of the song - "Kasekesed" seems to be an intentional misspelling of a form of the word "kask" (est. for birch tree). I'm not sure which form it is since there's a whole ass table of them and I don't know which one would be correct to use in this sentence. It might also be a diminutive, but I don't know how diminutives work in Estonain. Either way the sentence "Kus on minu kasekesed?" pretty definitely translates to "Where (are) my birches?" The answer to that question - "Metsas on" translates to "In (the) forest". After the refrain follows a string of nonsense lyrics. They seem to be mimicking how American rap sounds to non-anglophones. There is also exactly one discernable word in these lyrics - "muzyka" which is means "music" in some Slavic languages. I don't think that actually means anything. Verse 2 [in Russian] If (the) window doesn't close [itself] And (the) water /.../ is waving /with waves/ [A bunch more nonsense lyrics] Again (I'm) obsessed [The previous and following lines here are sung simultaneously] With you (I'm) obsessed (x4) The first line can alternatively be translated as "If (the) window isn't closed (eventually)". Also, "fortachka" isn't actually the Russian word for window - that would be "akno", instead it refers specifically to the separate openable part of it. It can also refer to a door in a fence, but that's probably too much linguistic trivia. Refrain [in Russian] The translation is pretty much the same: "Where are my birches?" "They're in the forest" Interestingly, the word for "birches" here is also mispronounced. The plural diminutive of the word for "birch" (rus. - berioza) would be "beriozki" not "berioziki". And that's pretty much it, I guess. I really hope a native Estonian speaker will clarify the proper translation of the Estonian refrain of the song. Lastly, for the record: I'm not actually Russian.
American mfs watching eurovision finale and seeing Estonia stay last place for 90% of the time: damn Estonia got no birches Puuluup asf fliming this video in a forest full of birch trees:
Fun fact: this is the song through which 5miinust first found out about the existence of Puuluup back in 2019, because it was nominated for the "Best Song" category at Estonian Music Awards that year, while 5miinust's biggest hit of that year wasn't, which angered 5miinust very much. That incident determined the bands' fate of getting together a couple of years later.
Actually, the lyrics is 100% in non-existing language, improvised by Marko and Ramo. Also song's name "Martafana" has no definite meaning, but "Marta" is woman's name. One of my favorite songs btw! (Villem, runner of the record label Õunaviks)
@@GiacomoNervi Wow, I asked, even Marko (with a background in social sciences) didn't know anything about her. Adventures of the subconscious! From now on this song definetely have a meaning:) Thanks for the info!

Ho appena visto che il 14 giugno sarete in Italia. Purtroppo non potrò esserci perché lavoro e abito in un'altra regione, distante da dove sarete. Aspetto la prossima data, intanto vi ascolto ogni giorno

See on nagu "Suudlus läbi jäätunud klaasi" täiesti omas ja teistsuguses võtmes. Paratamatult tuleb seda lugu kuulates silme ette jää ja lumi ja talv. Väga huvitav oleks teada, mis inspireeris looma seda lugu. On olnud kogemust lugude loomisega ja vahel on mul tunne, et nad tulevad kuskilt, kuskilt kõrgemalt. Ei ole ma mitte keegi, aga minu jaoks olulise tunnustuse/tagasiside saanud, et minu lugu maandus õigesse kohta. Mind väga huvitab protsess, kuidas sünnib üks lugu. Lugu, mis kõnetab teisi ka :)
My father had the exact same Mercedes, back in late 90s. Never thought I'd see it in a music video, in a language I don't speak (but understand a few words because I'm from the Balkans)
Avevo già notato all'Eurovision che c'era un'insolita raffinatezza in voi, ma la canzone non vi ha reso merito...ora che ascolto le vostre vere canzoni mi è tutto più chiaro e gradito... complimenti dall'Italia!
Apparently, Marko Veisson (the Vsauce lookalike) is also a sociologist and an anthropologist. I don't know why, but this little factoid makes me like this band even more.
@@TheSfishh hi it's me again! i'm on a rabbithole of my favorite estonian people 😅 would you be able to know what song puuluup was singing here (at around 2:30 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S1FukWvQOTs.html )? i tried to shazam it but it won't show up 🥹 i was hoping you'd be familiar but if not iss fine just trying my luck out here 😅
@@shhhhhhhhhhhhh Sorry for slowness! I was listening to all of their music and didn't found a specific song. I guess it's a mix of different songs. There's "Kasekesed", words like "Tule saarele! - Come to the Island!" About the boat and so on. You might have noticed that they even have a songs in their own language. Mix of Estonian, Finnish, Russian and simply gibberish. Have you checked out a live performances? P.S. Puuluup is playing a melody of" Vamos" 5miinust. And it's about how 5miinust is going to Ibiza - that's why "Tere, tere!(Hello, hello!) "Tule mõistus saarele!" - It's a word game smth like - Take Your Wisdom to the Island. Sorry I'm using Swedish and Estonian on the daily basis and don't find good explanation! I can try to help you with translation if needed, but be prepared for the Puuluup-English, hehe!
ikr.

@@causethereisalightguidingmyway HAHAHA omg i love this fun fact so much! literally doing the "if you can't beat them, join them" 😂their partnership now is actually amazing! on a slightly related note, do you think that this performance is their first collab? i'm so inlove with this video 😭(ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S1FukWvQOTs.html)
@@haleighbearofficial yes I've read it in one of their interviews in Estonian with the help of Google Translate. Puuluup answered "the system was always keeping an eye on us".
