"Säkkijärvis Polka"- Finnish-Swedish Folk Song (Rare Version) 

Attempt at the untranslatable : Och gupparna (1) fuktade stubben/strupen (some weird sound) And the boys/men wet their tree trunk/throat (???) I polkan dansar vår husbondadräng (2), storskan(3) hon vågar sig ut på en sväng(4). Our farmhand dances to the polka, the maid/girl dares out on a round of dancing. (1. Gubbarna as in men but Fenno-Swedish pronounciation) (2. Pronounced here as husbonnadräng) (3. I guess old-time name for girl, possibly of some excessive weight or just similar to Stinta, also meaning girl) (4. Literally a swing, referring to the movements of the dance itself)

It's nice that regardless what Swedish version of Säkkijärven you listen to, there are always some parts that are impossible to make out. good job with this!

0:46 bless you

There's just something so cozy about the finnish-swedish accent.

0:45 ??? = Fruktar för stup HEJ OCH HÅ 0:52 ??? = Husbonde 0:53 ??? = Pastorskan

Never heard of this version! Cortex always with another banger.

Fun fact this flag (nordic cross flag with yellow cross and red background) is also used by the southern most swedish region of Scania (Skåne) which used to belong to Denmark.

Thank you for using the correct flag for swedish-speaking finns!

0:52 husbondedräng

Never heard this version! Always nice to hear new versions of songs

finally a swedish version that you can actually understand

0:53 should be "fast hur ska hon våga sig ut på en sväng" as in "but how should she dare to go out for a dance" she being the potential lover of the "husbondedräng" (farmhand of the head farmer) of the previous set of question marks at 0:52.

Based Finland.

Banger

Länge leve Finland!

Don't ask woman her weight, man how much he earn money, Finns on who's side they've been during the Great Patriotic War, and what they did on Soviet lands.

Nice adaptation of the Finnish song - shame it isn't a translation of the Finnish version about having lost Karelia. I'm off to learn this Swedish variant.

🇫🇮♥️🇸🇪

Beautiful in both finnish and sweden versions!

Cortex releases the best versions of the songs

Спасибо за новую для меня версию очень красивой песни❤

I speak English and German, so I find Swedish a bit easier to understand than Finnish, I can definitely catch more words of it.

Ja du Finland har ju hela tiden tillhört Skåne

Hi terveisisiä Gotlannista isä ja äiti oli mukana

This is a fenno-swedish (swedish-speaking finn) rendition of Särkkijärven polkka. We don't identify with sweden at all. Idk why you included the flag of Sweden in the beginning. That's be like including the flag of France for a video of a french-canadian song.

There are also a few incorrect lyrics. 0:12 is "Göken borta i lunden går" Too tired to listen to the rest, but there is at least this

I guess on this channel it's sweden x somewhere else day today

The gök is "gol" not "går" :)

I swear this sound like it came from the 1700s (I know it's not but it sounds like it belonged to it)

Its really good and translates faithfully just wish they included the full song in the translation

HOI4 REFERENCE

Scania took over finland 😈

Never heard a Swedish version of this before, so tack!

[???]

До чего же мне нравится звучание финских песен! С горячим приветом с Северо- Запада России!

Screw Stardust Speedway Bad Future (JP), this is a true banger

Привет от вепса 😊

Why does this sound somewhat better than Säkkijärven Polkka

0:46, 0:52, 0:53 = unintelligible swedish noises

The subtitles are so bad on this version I realise but the song is beautiful

I learning finnish but I completly don't understand swedish. It sound weird for me

I like learning different language songs and this one so far has been my favorite to learn! Best version of the song in my opinion.

I thought this was Ingen

This was so clear to listen to I could understand almost all of the words. Wonderful thank you.

Что это за язык?

THE ACHOO AT 0:46

About 5+% of finnish people talk swedish as their mother's language. To my ears the great version here is sung in 'finnish' dialect of swedish - inte på riks svenska- so it is bit misleading to call it Finnish-Swedish folk song. Säkkijärven polkka is and remains an important part of Finnish folk lore. An amazing piece of history related to Säkkijärven polkka follows. FInland lost it's second largest city Viipuri in peace making after the Winter war in March 1940 to Soviet Union. The so called Continuation war started in June 1941. After the FInnish troops conquered back Viipuri, it was discovered that Russians had mined the mideval castle of Viipuri with bombs to be detonated by radio signals. To eliminate the danger of detonation, Säkkijären polkka was played 24h several days in frequencies Russians might be using until the bombs had been neutralized.

AND this is why Finland needs to speak Swedish

Eternal memory of the civilian Russians who died in Finnish concentration camps.

Got recomended this and had a listen but I guess the person who made the lyrics dont understand the finno-swedish dialect scinse the lyric dont match what they are singing at times. But still a good work scinse I know it can be hard to understand if your not used to it. Wrote down n added what i heard here, so give the song a go while reading this lyric and i think it will make sense for swedish speakers atleast, and fyi some words might be written in dialect or more as they are pronounced and the & that i use instead of och is because its more like a å / åh sound then och. :D 1 När säkkijärvi polkan går Då stampar vi takten, och klackarna slår och flickorna dansar med flygande hår i säkkijärvis polka! 2 Göken borta i lunden gol & spelmannen gnider på sin fiol & flickan svänger på ben & kjol I säkkijärvis polka! 3 kom nu min flicka kom med här i dansen Hör nu hur dragspeletakten ger flickorna nigar & stämmningen stiger Paren de blir bara fler och fler! Kom nu min flicka, kom ut över golvet visst vill du ha en danskavaljer? ingen kan väl stilla stå i säkkijärvis polka! 4 & redan hörs det på chip och sho & gubbarna fuktade strupen jo & flickan hon tappar i dansen en sko i säkkijärvis polka! 5 I polkan dansar vår husbonne dräng, pastorskan hon våga sig ut på en sväng, Det dansas i sal & det dansas på äng I säkkijärvis polka! (back to, 3 kom nu min flicka......) (then back to 1 n 2) (then it ends with 2 but faster tempo)
