ELLE
Lyrics/sánit: Rawdna Carita Eira
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine, Svein Schultz
And so the spring river opened up again
and so we let ourselves drift with the flood
Finally, the night of ice had to give in
My dearest son of the wind
Surely I flew with the bluethroat (the bird of a thousand languages)
Surely I danced with the northern light
In the strongest of breaths, we exhaled as one
My dearest son of the wind
And so, the lips of the silenced ones burst out in a speech
the stream of words started once again flowing
over the frozen riverbanks as we found each other again
My dearest son of the wind
When you ́re walking alongside the herd
when you ́re guarding your reindeer with their proud antlers
The whole sky comes alive and starts moving
My dearest son of the wind

CLAUDINA’S SONG
Lyrics/sánit: Karen Anna Buljo, Kirsti Paltto, Mari Boine
Music/nuohtta: Svein Schultz, Ole Jørn Myklebust, Mari Boine
Remember your friends
Remember your child
Be strong my girl
Everything will be fine, Claudine
See the daybreak beyond the hills
See the daybreak beyond the hills
I love you as the sea loves the shore
as it embraces rocks and sand
I love you as the clouds love the sky
as they travel slowly over the blue sea
See the silver bands of streams on the hills
See the silver bands of streams on the hills
I love you as the sea loves the shore
I love you as the clouds love the sky
For so long I wept silver threads
Remember your friends
Remember your child
Be strong my girl
It will all we fine
Claudine
You came over the blue ocean
You crossed the blue sea
I love you as the sea loves the shore
As it embraces rocks and sand
I love you as the fell loves the valley
As it raises its head against the wind
I love you as birth loves life
Urged onwards by the pain between
A mother’s hips.
You came over the blue ocean
You crossed the blue sea
See the daybreak beyond the hills
See the silver bands of streams on the hills
I love you as the sea loves the shore
I love you as the clouds love the sky
For so long I wept silver threads
I love you as the sea loves the shore
As it embraces rocks and sand
I love you as birth loves life
Urged onwards by the pain between
A mother’s hips
For so long I wept silver threads
Before your door opened
Remember your friends
Remember your child
Be strong my girl
It will all we fine

LENE MÁJJÁ
Lyrics/sánit: Rawdna Carita Eira, Mari Boine
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine, Svein Schultz, Ole Jørn Myklebust
Lene Majja keeps on swirling
Spawned at the river’s source
Lene Majja knows she was born to move
The great waterfall challenges her
The rapids summon her
As she hears a new humming
Lene Majja keeps on twirling
Gets past the weir in the river
Lene Majja sees others confused
There is no danger
She knows deep inside
She has never heard the voice that calls her now
What is it that drives her?
Who is it that keeps her moving?
What is it that always compels her
To go further and further right to the limits?
Who inspires her to continue and never to
settle for less?
Lene Majja keeps on whirling
Not giving up but dreaming
Lene Majja knows that time passes swiftly
The others try to stop her
And keep her silent
She hears that enchanting voice and moves on
What is it that drives her?
Who is it that keeps her moving?
What is it that always compels her
To go further and further right to the limits?
Who inspires her to continue and never to
settle for less?
Lene Majja keeps swirling
Disobedient and cunning
She leaves others to wriggle into the weir net
She passes the mouth of the river
Hears the roaring of the sea
She reaches that magical sound
And their voices become one

CONVERSATION WITH GOD
Lyrics/sánit: Kerttu Vuolab, Mari Boine
Music/nuohtta: Georg Buljo, Mari Boine
Our Father
they say You are in heaven
Could You please tell me
Why things are as they are?
Our Father,
Through Your name
they hallow and maintain
injustice in the world
Why do You allow this?
Our Father
In Thy kingdom, they trample with their wars
On the human rights of children
Why do they wage war?
[Madosini]
Whose problem is this
When I’m throwing my leg?
I’m trying
I’m working for my kids
Our Father
Thy will is done
And yet poor children suffer
Is that what You want?
Our Father
In this world, we daily pray
Each in our own way
For bread to ease our hunger
Our Father,
You preach forgiveness for our trespasses
Why then do You let the innocent
Be punished?
Our Father
They say You are in heaven …
Our Father
Why do You not deliver us from evil?
Are You not the almighty?
[Madosini]
Whose problem is this
When I’m throwing my leg?
I’m trying

THE MISCHIEVOUS
Lyrics/sánit: Rawdna Carita Eira
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine, Ole Jørn Myklebust, Svein Schultz
As the King
tends the herd
with his son
While gold
So quietly jingles
I crouch
Delighted
A smile upon my face
The fawn doesn’t even notice
my narrowed eyes
As the King
leaves
his son behind
While the warm breeze
sways his youngest and dearest
I crouch
Delighted
A smile upon my face
While the little fawn
falls asleep
When the King
begins to track
his son
The wind has already
covered my trail
with drifts
I am lying
In delight
A smile upon my face
The poor fawn
was dreaming of
a tomorrow
What is it with this bird
Why is it aimlessly
Flying around
It’s the “bird of the rain”
Here it is
Flying
flying
flying
this bird

Hear the voices of our foremothers
Why have you defiled the earth
Poisoned

Hear the song of our ancestors
Eatnan, our mother, is Earth
If we kill her

Did you get snared in the fiction
That symbiosis is competition
Hear our forefathers’ question

You have brothers

IN THE HAND OF THE NIGHT / IDJAGIEĐAS
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine, Svein Schultz
Idjagieđas is in a language nobody knows, so therefore no translation.
“Dat olmmoš, mii lea gálgame jámehiid soapmásis, gean nalde leat jámehat, de son hupmá amas giela, ja son dalle logaha dan olbmui soames lohkosiid, mat leat amasgillii.
Ja dat olmmoš, mii hupmá amas giela, go lea gálgame daihe jorgaleame jámehiid daihe biruid, dat lea dalle nu imaš, ahte ii sáhte riekta muitalit.
Dat šaddá lihkahussii, go oaidná jámehiid daihe biruid olbmo nalde, ja dat gal oadná visot dakkáriid, ja dat gal nagoda jorgalit.”
Johan Turi, 1920.
“Sámi deavsttat duoddaris” (Sámi Girjjit)
“A person who seeks to drive the jámehat* away from someone, will speak in a foreign language, and will recite to the afflicted person some charm in that language.
And that person who speaks in this foreign language while forcing away or driving off the jámehat or *birot is wondrous to behold, so much so that it is nearly impossible to describe.
The person goes into a state of spiritual agitation when seeing the jámehat or birot that are besetting the afflicted person, for he can see them all and indeed, he can turn them away, too.”

On the fells of the north as in an old picture

On the fells of the north as in an old picture
With the echoes of the cliffs

On the fells of the north in cold waterfalls
she washes herself with the rushing water
begging for tears of the rain
Washes herself with the tears from the rain
Cradles the child chilled by the night
On the fells of the north

she washes herself with the rushing water
With the echoes of the cliffs

rinses her intuition in the cascade

SONG FROM A TRILOBITE

Come and hide me
in your embrace
Decorate your rooms
with me as well
I am at peace
when I’m with you
Maybe
because
me also
I am a mountain eroded by time
One who tumbled up from eternity
One who drifted around on the bottom of the sea
For millions of years waiting to come alive
I am at peace
when I’m with you
Do you find me weird
you ask
You’re just like me
I say
I love you the way you are
Come and hide me in your embrace

Alt i meg hviler når jeg er hos deg

En som velta opp av evigheten
En som drev rundt på havets bunn
I millioner av år lå jeg der
Alt i meg hviler når jeg er hos deg
Syns du jeg er rar

Akkurat som meg

Jeg elsker deg sånn som du er

Your fragrant words
filled with unspoken invitations
Me forever searching
My ice breaks, cascading
your strict prohibitions
Oh, always these unmarked paths
Your fragrant words
filled with unspoken callings
Me forever moving
My ice breaks, cascading
your closed-in worlds
Oh, all these unmarked paths
If you would only say my name
Within a shadow of fear
witnessed by a lightning sky
I confess my love
Under your blanket of stars
I let myself go with the wind
Here
I give you my all
To you, the prince of my heart
If you would only say my name

GRASS OF DEATH
Lyrics/sánit: Denez Prigent
Music/nuohtta: Denez Prigent, Mari Boine
[Mari Boine]
They spoiled the spring water
They changed the direction of the wind
Polluted the sap, exhausted the earth
Nearly extinguished the stars and the moon
[Denez Prigent]
They spoiled the spring water
They changed the direction of the wind
They changed the brightness of the sun
Exhausted the earth, polluted the sap
Polluted the sap, exhausted the earth,
Nearly extinguished the stars and the moon
Nearly extinguished the stars and the moon
And ruined the flowering tree
They changed things without care
That which should not have been changed
They sowed the field of the world
With that which should not have been sown
They sowed the grass of death
Which turns the farmer into a slave
They sowed the insane grain
That sends the farmer to ruin
[Mari Boine]
They ruined the flowering sacred tree
They sowed the grass of death
Which turns the farmer into a slave
They changed the brightness of the sun
They exhausted the earth, our Mother Earth
[Denez Prigent]
Now it’s time for the news reports:
In the Field of the World you can hear
In the Field of the World can you hear
The scythe of Death as he harvests?

Just when I had strived to set limits
I had set limits, limits!
Why can’t they stay inside them
they just won’t stay inside them
Just when I had strived to build high walls
I had built high solid walls
Why can’t they stay behind them
they just won’t stay behind them
Help me to keep them down here!
Help me to keep them in their place!
Help me to keep them where they belong!
Just when I had set up limits, limits
Built high solid walls
now it all starts to crumble
They spread in all directions
Now it all starts to crumble
they scatter with the winds
This can not be allowed
I am in charge here
this just can´t be allowed
I am in control
this just can not happen
I am in charge here
This just cannot be allowed
I am in control
Just when I had set the limits
I had set limits, limits

Sámi soga lávlla ( Song of the Sami People) is the anthem of the Sámi people. The text was written by Isak Saba.
Originally a poem, it was first published in the Sámi newspaper Saǥai Muittalægje in 1906.
Georg Buljo, Niko Valkeapaa and I always felt very hard to sing the melody composed to the lyrics of our national song.
So, we came up with the idea to merge the melody of Gula Gula with Isak Saba’s lyrics. They matched perfectly together.
We were hoping for reactions, but to this day, none of us had a response from anyone in Sápmi

SONG OF THE SAMI PEOPLE
Music/ nuohtta: Mari Boine
Sánit/ lyrics: Isak Saba, the Sámi National song written in1906
Far up North ‘neath Ursa Major
Gently rises Saamiland
Mountain upon mountain
Lake upon lake.
Peaks, ridges and plateaus
Rising up to the skies
Gurgling rivers, sighing forests
Iron capes pointing sharp
Out towards the stormy sea
Winter time with storm and cold
Fierce blizzards
Saami kin, with hearts and souls
Their lands do love
Moonlight for the traveller
Living Aurora flickering
a grunt of reindeer heard in groves of birch
Voices over lakes and open grounds
Swish of sled on winter road
Summer’s sun casts golden hues
On forests, seas and shores
Fishermen in gold, swaying
With the golden seas, golden lakes
Silver Saami rivers gurgling
’round sparkling poles, shining oars
Singing, men float down
Rapids, great and small
And waters calm
Saamiland’s people
With unbending strength
Defeated killing enemies, bad trades
Sly and evil thieves.
Hail thee, tough Saami kin!
Hail thee, root of freedom!
Never was their battle,
Never brother’s blood was spilled
Amongst the peaceful Saami kin
Our ancestors long ago
Trouble makers did defeat
Let us, brothers, also resist
Staunchly our oppressors
Oh, tough kin of the sun’s sons
Never shall you be subdued
If you heed your golden Saami tongue
Remember the ancestors’ word:
The Saamiland for the Saami!

Cold nights start to melt

Hold us
Hold the children of our time
Wrap us in your warmth

Your hands still fast at work
Your words full of colours
The patterns that you weave
Without glossing over
Without covering up
You tell of time passed

In your gaze I see peace
Though you travelled through pain
Your heart remains open
You carry your wisdom
Without the need for conceit
When you are with me

Dark rooms let in light
Cold nights start to melt
And urge within we cries

Gákcilogi fargga
ja du gieđat ain nu lášmat
Sánit seammá ivdnái
go hearvvat du ránuiguin
Ovddešáiggiin ságaid muitalat
Herve it
it čiegat
muittašat
Eallilan nisu
du čalmmiin oainnán ráfi
Vásihan maid baháid
du váibmu lihkká rabas
Viisodat dus salaid dievva
itge dainna čevllohala
nugo nu máŋga eará
Doala min ja min mánáid
doala min
mii dárbbašat du lieggasa
Doala min du salas
doala min du salas

TIL DEG
Lyrics/sánit: Mari Boine
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine
Når du er hos meg
føler jeg glede og varme
Når du er hos meg
faller sjela mi til ro
Du har tid
til å lytte
være nær
Tid til å spørre
høre mer
Når du er hos meg
kjenner jeg knutene løsne
når du er hos meg
slipper sollyset til igjen
Mørke rom blir fylt med lys
som varmer opp de kaldeste kroker
Jeg får lyst til å si
Hold omkring oss
hold om barna våre
Hold omkring oss
vi trenger varmen du har å gi
Hold hold oss i din favn
Du nærmer deg åtti
og hendene dine arbeider flittig
Ordene dine
så fulle av farger
som mønstrene du vever
Uten å pynte
uten å skjule
forteller du
om tida før
Gamle kvinne
med fred i blikket
og hjertet åpent
tross alt vondt
Full av visdom er du
men hoverer aldri
slik altfor mange gjør
Hold omkring oss
hold om barna våre
Hold omkring oss
vi trenger varmen du har å gi
Hold hold oss i din favn

BUTTERFLY
Lyrics/sánit: Merle Collins
Music/nuohtta: Mari Boine, Roger Ludvigsen
Butterfly
trapped in a mold of
molten steel
wings open
poised for flight
Caught by more
than the matter seen
wish I knew
where history been
Wish I knew
where they make the fire
that melt the steel
that make the prison
to hold the butterfly
that spirits made

ROSALITA
Tekst og melodi: Åge Aleksandersen
Samisk oversettelse: Mari Boine
Når du ser på mæ
fra en TV-skjerm
Når di avmakt og redsel
når mæ her hjemme
Når et ansikt, et menneskebarn
trenge sæ frem
Æ vil glemme
Æ vil glemme
Æ vil glemme
Och när du upplever världen som
iskall och stor
Ska jag stå upp och sloss
för deg älskade bror
Jag skal skydda deg
mot orättvis och vold
Aldrig glömma
Aldrig glömma
Aldrig glömma
Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Og vi passe på dæ i natt.

ROSALITA
Tekst og melodi: Åge Aleksandersen
Samisk oversettelse: Mari Boine
Go du morašlaš čalmmit deivet mu
Go don oððasiin siivudit muitalat
Olbmománná
Mo heive
Mun jurddašan
Mun in hálit
in hálit gullat
Muhto dieðán in sáhte lovpetge
Go mus oappát
ja vielljat mu dárbbašit
de vaikko máilbmi garas
ja balddonas leaš
in áiggo goassige čiehkádit gal
Det finns ingen som hotar ditt liv här i natt
Du är en stjärna, en kung
För du äger en skatt
Du är liten, men enda
det största som finns på jorden
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Ni är stenar som gnistrar i
främtidens skatt
Och vi skyddar er alla nu i natt
Når verden høgg tak i mæ
kald og stor
Vil æ reis mæ å sloss
for kvar søster og bror
Æ ska vær der på vakt
imot urett og vold
Aldri glemme
Aldri glemme
Aldri glemme
Behind the barbed-wire fences
the sun’s going down
You’re eating your ration
sitting on the ground
You’ve stopped counting the days
till you’ll getaway
as the smoke from the campfire
put tears in your eyes
I know that you know
there will come a time
when the wheels of fortune
will spin the other way around
You shall not have lost
your childhood in vain
for the sake of the fanatical
greedy, insane
Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Ni är stenar som gnistrar i
främtidens skatt
Så vi skyddar er alla nu i natt
Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Vi ska passe på dæ i natt.
