Lyrics and translation to a finnish folk song Morsiamen itketys (the bride's weeping) sung by MeNaiset. • In the past the karelian finns and some other eastern finns used to have this tradition that before wedding the • family of the bride arranged sort of a send-off party for her, and on the morning of the send-off day they first took her to a bridal sauna and then had a weeping . The weeping included singing weeping songs to the bride to make her cry and mourn for her old home and family she would soon lose, and grieve for her sorrowful fate. • There are different explanations for this tradition, but one of the most common ones is that they did it so the bride would'nt expect too much from her marriage, and could even be pleasantly surprised. • A literal translation is quite impossible since the lyrics include many Finnish words that don't really have a direct equivalent in the English language. (Especially because this song is sung using an eastern dialect, not formal Finnish) But it has translated it so that the meaning of the words is the same, it's just formed a bit differently. • For readers of CanKiwi2's Alternative Finland website (http://www.alternativefinland.com) and CanKiwi2s Finnish Winter War Alternative History on www.alternatehistory.com - http://www.alternatehistory.com/discu... and/or on http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopi... • These video clips are, or will be, included on both my website on Finland as a travel destination and as informational content and in an alternative history of the 1939-40 Russo-Finnish Winter War that I'm writing online. • And just a note: Youtube members come, Youtube members go - and when they go the clips they have posted disappear, which is the reason most of these are copied from other users channels. If I have inadvertently missed asking you for permission to copy your clip and post it on my channel, please let me know and I will publicly issue an abject and humble apology. And remove if you ask. Aside from that, Enjoy!
