about

Kelu, the birch is a mythical song about the cosmic world tree and the sun, moon and constellations caught in its top.

"Birch, birch, O, old birch, where were you born? Birch, where did you grow up? In a forest clearing and on a glade. Right on the edge of a mountain. High up where the sun rises, then falls. The sun spins there, spins around it. The moon sets over it."

Kelu, koivu on osa mytologista laulua kosmisesta maailmanpuusta ja sen ympärillä kiertävistä auringosta, kuusta ja tähtikuvioista.

"Koivu, koivu, oi vanha koivu, missä olet syntynyt? Koivu, missä olet kasvanut? Metsäaukiolla ja niityllä. Aivan vuoren vierellä. Yllänsä kiertää aurinko. Aurinko kiertää sen ympäri. Kuu laskee sen yli."

Solisti/Soloist Anna-Kaisa Liedes

Keluń, kelu, oh śiŕe kelu

šiń šaroma vastońasa
šińaś šarï, soń peŕfkańanza
kovńaś valgi soń veĺhkskazonza
