about

A Viena-Karelian yoik about Toarie’s sons. “A few words should be told of Toarie’s sons, whose days as bachelors are through. Though their brides are sweet and from distant shores, their brides don’t please their mother Toarie. This is what Toarie bewailed on the banks of the river when her sons’ days as bachelors were through.”

Vienankarjalainen joiku Toarien pojista. "Pitää sanoa muutama sana Toarien pojista, joiden poikamiesajat ovat päättyneet. Vaikka morsiamet ovat suloisia ja tuotu monen meren takaa, he eivät miellytä Toarie-äitiä. Sitä Toarie-äiti karjahteli suruissaan joen rannalla, kun loppuivat poikiensa poikamiesajat."

Solisti/Soloist Maari Kallberg

lyrics

No pitäis kovorie sanua kaksi kolme kuvuamie kuulto Toarien
kun on kuollun kumma aika koko kansan kuvuamilta
Pitäispä virrellä löyhällyttyä versomie vihasen Toarien
kun ei tultu vieruo myöten vierettelyt vesselän aijan
eikä viereh vihasen versojaiseh
Eipä sortun sorttie myöten suorittelu soman aijan
eikä tullun sorttie myöten suorijaiseh
hot on tuotu versojan lapset takuata monen suolameren
Niin sulavaiset on sorsat suorievarret suunnalla sulan joven
kun pitäy sortti suoritella piällä sorttisijan ta ei ole omua vierisorsua sorttisijoilla
Kaiholoissa karjahteli kantani kantajaiseh kairoissa karijoven
kun kato kaiholoissa kaunis aika kauniveren kannetun kanto Toarien
