Read a (badly) translated page from a Norwegian paper here: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=no&tl=en&u=http://www.kjendis.no/2010/04/26/kjendis/musikk/sex_pistols/begravelse/joik/11457835/&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhjOCkk7GlaQovA-kHeoVZbvGIAqpw This is the lyrics to "Sparrow of the Wind" in English: Wind Gossip Gossip Winds Wind Gossip Me the Storm Sparrow I am the Sparrow The Sparrow among sparrows Silence knocking Knocking Silence Silence knocking Me the Eagle of Silence I am the Eagle The Eagle among eagles Calm Needed Needed Calm Calm Needed Me the Whirlpool of Calmness I am the Whirlpool The Whirlpool among whirlpools - - - The exotic Sami/Norwegian group Vajas performing Sparrow of the Wind at The Park Theatre (Parkteatret), Oslo, Norway. "Sparrow of the Wind" is sung in the old native Sámi language. You can read more about that language here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_languages Singer, poet and also Juris Doctor Ànde Somby has a Ph.D. in law and he really is a both an academic and a "free natural yoik'er" of Sami origin. Doctor Somby also has a LOT of humor, I can assure you. The Sámi people use music in a much more free spirited way than in most other traditions. Counting bars really do not mean that much to them. The "bow-wow-wow" thing is like "humming" in his native language :-) Keep playing "Sparrow of the Wind". You can buy the album "Sacred Stone" on the Internet (also on ITunes) and my qualified guess is that you will enjoy the whole album for whatever reason. - - - VAJAS: Ánde Somby; Sami yoik (joik) and vocals Kristin Mellem: Violin and vocals Nils Johansen: Guitars and keyboards Visit Vajas: http://www.myspace.com/vajasmyspace Watch the video for Vajas' song "Star Girl" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJZDYUT9vXY Watch Vajas' singer Ànde Somby a capella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM6MCf1kzog HDV camera: Enok Karlsen and Erik Meyn HD stills: Enok Karlsen Editing: Erik Meyn Location: Parkteatret, Oslo, Norway, 2006 Copyright: Vaj AS, Tromsoe, Norway |
