The word on the artillery shell is Mainila (missing the “a”), the name of the town where Soviet Union claimed shots were fired and thus manufacturing a reason to invade Finland.
It's just that the ancient Finnish word "hurme" (blood) is not in much use anymore. Today the correct word is "veri". So the translator translated "hurme" as "charm" because we also have trhe word "hurma" which means "charm".
6:45 "Mainila" was the place where Soviets shelled and tried to paint Finns as aggressor when the Winter War started. It's a shell reminding USSR why they are blown to bits.
Years ago my father got angry when I wondered why the (Porilaisten marssi) Pori residents' march was played after the declaration of Christmas peace in Turku. I thought it was a bit contradictory that first we wished a peaceful Christmas and then we sing how cool it is to cover the ground with the blood of a persecutor.
you are clearly making progress with joining Finland. patriotism is something that should never be underestimated and it's a big deal in Finland, so if the songs evoke thoughts, that's great👍😁
The Artillery shell says: "Mainila" which means "For Mainila".. Mainila was the place where Russkies started the WAR with FINLAND with a false flag OP. From wiki: Mainila incident (Russian: Ма́йнильский инциде́нт, romanized: Máynil'skiy intsidént), was a military incident on 26 November 1939 in which the Soviet Union's Red Army shelled the Soviet village of Mainila (Russian: Ма́йнило, romanized: Máynilo) near Beloostrov. The Soviet Union declared that the fire originated from Finland across the nearby border and claimed to have had losses in personnel. Through that false flag operation, the Soviet Union gained a great propaganda boost and a casus belli for launching the Winter War four days later.[1][2] Historians have now concluded that the shelling of Mainila was a fabrication carried out by the Soviet NKVD state security agency.[3]
Worth pointing out too that the Mainila written on the cannon shell (or would this be just considered a "round"?) is a form of dark humour. "They wanted the shelling of Mainila, we give them shells with Mainila on them" or something along those lines. Same happened with Molotov's breadbaskets and cocktail. Just so someone in the east doesn't consider this proof of Finns involvement in the shelling of Mainila 😂
They are writing MAINILA to the rocket bullet. Mainila was the place where USSR claimed Finland has attacked them and they have to defend themselves, thus justifying the attack to Finland.
Jean Sibelius is our Nationally most revered Composer.. From Wiki: Jean Sibelius (/sɪˈbeɪliəs/ sib-AY-lee-əs;[1] Finland Swedish: [ˈjɑːn siˈbeːliʉs, ˈʃɑːn -] (listen); born Johan Julius Christian Sibelius;[2] 8 December 1865 - 20 September 1957) was a Finnish composer of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. He is widely regarded as his country's greatest composer, and his music is often credited with having helped Finland develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia. The core of his oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies, which, like his other major works, are regularly performed and recorded in Finland and countries around the world. His other best-known compositions are Finlandia, the Karelia Suite, Valse triste, the Violin Concerto, the choral symphony Kullervo, and The Swan of Tuonela (from the Lemminkäinen Suite). His other works include pieces inspired by nature, Nordic mythology, and the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala; over a hundred songs for voice and piano;
Finlandia is used as peace-hymns and religious songs, The Karelia Suite is often used as thrilling music in movies. You'll recognize them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WDXNHPeRB0k.html (Finlandia) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ryhN5kNFzc.html (Karelia Suite)
@@aukustio2052 No, we should never forget "Maamme/Vårt land" words by Runeberg, melody by Pacius. It is part of every indepenence day and every medal in championships Finland has won. Here you have the guaranteed goosebumps - a real anthem solemn and pure : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PX7cPorwX5M.html sing along! (Hat off!)
There is a huge mistranslation in the latter song. "Voi vainolaisen hurmehella peittää maan" is NOT "enemies can with charm cover the land" (which is really meaningless) but instead of charm it means blood. And even more so, it is an archaic form meaning pretty much that you will bleed dry.
My father's parents had to leave their home in Viena Carelia. My mother's parents home was burnt twice, first by Russians and then later by Germans. I love this country. My grandparents were building the present Finland ❤️ I love these songs! They are precious to me. Thank you for honouring these songs.
@@Mohler41Moscow armistice stated that Finland will declare war on Germany and drive Germans out of Lapland. If we wouldn't have Soviets would have and occupied Finland during it.
Fine, Gio, this video needs sorting out, indeed. The first song is from the times of the civil war, following Finland's declaration of independence from the Russian Empire and the newly established Sovietunion on the 6. of Dec 1917 - the war was bloody and gruesome and fought about what kind of economy and government should be introduced in the newly freed Finland. Those are by many Finns considered the most dark of Finnish times. The pictures however are partly from other decades. The second song is called Björneborgarnas marsch / Porilaisten marssi - it is from the time in the late 18th C when the Republic of Finland (Suomen tasavalta) didn't exist, yet, only as the eastern region of the kingdom of Sweden, where many Finnish-speaking counties were situated, with regional names like Ostrobotnia/Pohjanmaa; Lapland/Lappi; Åland-islands/Ahvenanmaa; Original Finland/Varsinais Suomi, Newland/Uusimaa, Carelia/Karjala, and others. From recruits in the town Björneborg/Pori there was formed a regiment that fought for the Swedish crown all over Europe, hence in the song there are many geographical names of battlefields far from today's Sweden and today's Finland - memories of wars and battles fought for no good reasons, only imperialistic megalomaniac dreams Swedish kings had. Narva, Lützen, Leipzig are mentioned. It is a very bloodthirsty song, indeed. Finns fought in Swedish uniforms and under Swedish command, but had a pride in their regiment and certainly the soldiers from Pori could speak Finnish among themselves. That epoch ended with the war 1808-1809, when Russia won against Sweden and occupied the land, that then became known as Finland as a whole and later as an independent republic. I like the songs "Maamme laulu" (The Song of Our Country, the national anthem) and "Finlandia" so very much, they are dear to me because they express love for Finland! You have heard them? Here's the national anthem, sung in Finnish, Swedish, and mixed, in the former capital town Turku/Åbo, obviously on an independence day Dec. 6th, in a historical square, that I have crossed so many times. A beautiful corner, already with a Christmas tree erected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0SdkW3LfD88.html And here's Sibelius' composition of the patriotic poem "Finlandia", with a very prominent position in Finnish culture. The song was forbidden during the Russian times, before Finland declared its indpendence. The melody was so well known so it was played anyways under various titles, so the audience just stood up and paid hommage, and thus the patriotic emotions were strengthened. Here with beautiful pictures and lyrics. Some wish this would be the national anthem! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQZdU4he_3c.html&start_radio=1
Jean Sibelius is obviously Finland's national composer, and of international fame, still played in concert halls all over the world. Jean is pronounced as in French, and Sibelius as in Swedish, let's see if I can give it syllable by syllable - Si (as in Spanish, Si, signor) - be (as in bed without -d) - li (as in lip without -p) - us (as the syllable -us- in Aug-us-ta in Maine) - listen in google translate: write Sibelius in the research slot.
If you want to react another finnish patriotic song I have one recommendation: Oolannin sota I remember that I used to love singing that song when I was a child.
It's not "rocket bullet". Its a cannon shell from continuation war. And they are writing "Mainilaan/to Mainila" its a city that russia bombarded in 26.11.1939, they blamed Finland for that and started winter war. In this picture, few years later Finland is getting revenge.
It well worth knowing that both these songs have Swedish lyrics as well. The Swedish lyrics for the second one, “Björneborgarnas marsch”, might in my personal opinion be slightly better.
There is it, we have a looong border with Russia and we don’t have a fear, and if you are with us and fight, you are one of us. Jaeger march is my war cry…and it’s really mean that ”kaikki onnemme kalpamme kärjessä on” and I’m ready to die if I can protect my homeland like most of here are.
There's a mistranslation in the lyrics of the second song, "hurmehella" means "with the blood of" instead of the used "with charm of" used in the video, hurme is an archaic word meaning spilt blood, instead of the modern veri (blood) and hurmata means "to charm".
Cool, I did not know that, but I can definitely hear the similarities. I thought Lucas was inspired from German marching songs, but I guess these finnish songs got their influence there, so I was not that far off.
Translation in second song was bit loose, it shouldn't banner, it should be Warbanner! The person who translated it was bit noobie etc... Banner in general is right term, but it does not have the right poer of the words like term Warbanner has and the the original term in ther song uses "sotalippumme" aka "sotalippu", translating just as banner, just bad translation as Sota" means war and "lippu" means flag or banner...
I have to say that I disagree on some points with the English language translations on the videos. They get the gist across for the most parts, but there's certainly room for improvement in them. But eh, whatever. The word you asked about that's being written on the rocket is, by my best guess, "Mainila"; The Soviets began the Winter War by accusing Finland of having attacked the village of Mainila that was just on the Russian side of where the border used to be drawn in the Karelian Isthmus (of course these days it's nowhere near the border bc of how much territory Finland lost in the war) In truth the attack was very much fabricated by the Soviets, there's really no question of it and never was, but it served as their excuse to begin the war.
There are more folk oriented military and propaganda songs also: "Ai, Ai, Kerensky'', "Kremlin uni [Finnish Patriotic Song] [English and Finnish lyrics]", "Maantie on kova kävellä - (The road's hard to walk) [Finnish/English Subtitles]". "Eikä me olla veljeksiä [Finnish Marching Song] [English and Finnish lyrics]", "Eldankajärven jää [Finnish Continuation War Song] [English and Finnish lyrics]" and "Finnish Army Song - Muistoja Pohjolasta".
It's an artillery shell, not a rocket. He is writing "Mainila" on it which is a reference to "Shots of Mainila" which was the very obvious false flag carried by USSR to spring the Winter War. He is obviously just sending some shots from Mainila. ;)
06:46 Mainila, its a border town.. Soviets claimed that Finnish artillery shelled them from that place and used it a Casus Belli to invade Finland to protect themselves. Sounds familiar? It's their favourite technique, blame someone else when they are doing something naughty.. they claimed they going to get rid of nazis (NAZIS!!! LOL!?) in Ukraine.. history repeats itself, especially with these guys.
I heard you picked up the pronoun 'se' in the 1st song. You can not stop learning, Actually the Jääkärien marssi was written in the same situation the US was in 1776. If you find the music of Jean Sibelius interesting, there is a lot more even in RU-vid. Very nice music. Nr 2, Porilaisten Marssi refers to a Swedish period infantry regiment active in 1626 - 1809 in Finland. The regimen was named after the town Pori on the Finnish West Coast. In the memory of this regiment there are statues of a young drummer in Pori and in a garrison near Pori, Huovinrinne. In the latter statue the 19th century drummer has his 20th century colleague beside him. A replica of the that statue is in a roundabout in Säkylä. fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luettelo_S%C3%A4kyl%C3%A4n_julkisista_taideteoksista_ja_muistomerkeist%C3%A4#/media/Tiedosto:Rumpalit_S%C3%A4kyl%C3%A4_1.JPG. The nr 2 march and the Finnish national anthem were originally poems in a collection by Johan Ludvig Runeberg, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tales_of_Ensign_St%C3%A5l
