Beautiful Finland’s seaside from a German documentary about the Baltic coasts and a rendition of the story about the origin of iron from Kalevala.
Veera Voima is a Finnish folk singer who specializes in rune singing. Her project “Myths of Making“ is based on the birth myths of Kalevala. This is a short version of her song “Raudan Synty“ (The Origin of Iron): I’ve taken most of the instrumental part out because I just wanted to listen to the calm singer’s voice, you can hear the full song at the singer’s official web page:
Thanks to the Old Man Moon for translating it for me XD
TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Yes I know the birth of iron
I understand the origin of steel
Water is the oldest of brothers
Iron is the youngest of brothers
Here with us the nights come alone
Alone the dawn comes
Alone is born the Maiden of Death
Maiden of Death the Mother of Earth
Alone is born, alone grows
Alone
