Stream Sápmi recorded at The Center for Northern Peoples, Riddu Riddu Festival, June 26th, 2020
Over 30 years have passed since Mari Boine swept music lovers around the globe off their feet with the release of her first international acclaimed album “Gula Gula”.
Since then, this song became a trademark of Mari Boine.
In Corona times, when artists were obliged to reinvent themselves, Mari Boine and her Band took the challenge to perform a Live Stream concert at the reknown Norwegian Festival Riddu Riddu (June 2020).
Here you can enjoy an extended version of Gula Gula live and feel the energy and the power of this song.
Lyrics:
GULA GULA
Gula gula
nieida
gánda
Gula máttut dál du čurvot
manin attát eatnama duolvat
mirkkoduvvot

Gula jiena

gánda
Gula máttaráhkuid jiena
eana lea min buohkaid eadni
Su jos soardit ieža jápmit
Letgo diktán iežat báidnot
leatgo iešge mielde gilvvus
Gula máttut dál dus jerret
itgo don muitte gos don vulget
Dus leat oappát
dus leat vieljat
Lulli - Ámeriihkka arvevuvddiin
Ruonaeatnama geađgerittuin
Itgo don muitte gos don vulget
Gula gula

Gula máttut dál du čurvot

Gula jiena

Eana lea min buohkaid eadni
Su jos soardit ieža jápmit
HEAR THE VOICES OF THE FOREMOTHERS
Gula brother
Gula sister
Hear the voices of our foremothers
Why have you defiled the earth
Poisoned
depleted
Listen brother
Listen sister
Hear the song of our ancestors
Eatnan, our mother, is Earth
If we kill her
we also die
Did you get snared in the fiction
That symbiosis is competition
Hear our forefathers’ question
Do you know where you are from
You have brothers
You have sisters
in the Amazonian rainforests
on the windswept cliffs of Greenland
Do you remember where you come from
