Surumielisyys

Tämä on surumielinen laulu! To all those who read and commented the Depressed Finn story:)

The Finnish band is called Nest, and their label Corvus Records is Bulgarian.
I think it's a nice, melancholic connection, and the weather in Sofia is so gloomy right now.

Suruvaippa - Mourning Cloak

Again, thanks to Alwari, who posts great translations of Viikate songs here.

Syys means autumn. Syyskuu - September.

Elokuuta Minä katson läpi liekin Myrskylyhdyn sekä mietin Elokuuta Vastarantaa yö jo peittää Täällä vasta hämärtää Vastarantaa yö jo peittää Minä tyydyn vähempään Pohjatuulta Minä kuuntelen ja mietin Mikä olossani liekin Muistuttaa pohjatuulta Vastarantaa yö jo peittää Täällä vasta hämärtää Vastarantaa yö jo peittää Siivet nuo väriltään Metsän haluan puilta unohtaa Metsän haluan puilta unohtaa Puut ja puiset luut Ja puut ja puiden yllä valvovan kuun Metsän haluan noilta puilta unohtaa

August I watch through the flame Of storm lantern and think of August The opposite shore is covered by night It's just getting dusky here The opposite shore is covered by night I settle for less North wind I listen to and think What ever may be in my life Reminds me of north wind The opposite shore is covered by night It's just getting dusky here The opposite shore is covered by night Those wings by their colour I want to forget the forest from the trees I want to forget the forest from the trees Trees and the wooden bones And trees and the Moon watching over trees I want to forget the forest from those trees

Kuu kaakon yllä

I am waiting for the new Viikate album - The Moon Above Southeast.

Oh great glory and splendour!

Bulgarians in Finland

I don't watch TV but I ran into this video, courtesy of btv show, The Other Bulgaria, telling about Bulgarian immigrants all over the world.

A Bulgarian couple - she is an interior designer, he is a database engineer - tell about their lives in Finland.

Easy Finnish Society

Easy Finnish pages again - information about Finland and the world, society, nature and other stuff in plain language. Not very plain for me, but I try!

I especially appreciate the short listening and reading exercises.

Papunet made easy.

Hyvää Joulua!

Hyvää Joulua, kaikille.

Enjoy the original Finnish Santa from Lapland. Here.
