Estonian Runosong / Regilaul

Runosong, in Estonian regilaul, is a singing tradition common to most Finnic peoples. For centuries, runosong has been the main musical-poetic way of expression for these people, a layperson’s skill, which during the era of oral culture had somewhat different functions from modern poetic or musical culture. Songs were used to preserve and pass on knowledge, experiences and attitudes, to support the functioning of the world and the community and to try to influence them. It was mostly sung by women and was a great part of everyday life.

Lyrics translated to English:

Three forests 

Blue-coloured and silky 

Flew over three forests 

One was the proper apple woods 

Second the nice birch woods 

Third the sweet fir woods 

What was a proper apple woods 

It was my gentle granny’s woods 

What was my nice birch woods 

That was my bright granddad’s woods 

What was my sweet fir woods 

That was my little brother’s woods
