karjase laulud

from KANNEL by Sille Ilves

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A bold and inventive recording of traditional Estonian song from an artist deeply rooted in tradition yet utterly unafraid to explore her imagination and embrace the apparent limitations of the seven note kannel.

    12 tracks arranged for solo 7-string kannel (archaic plucked lyre) and voice with sparing accompaniment by hiiu-kannel (bowed lyre) and guitar (long neck, fretted lyre).

    The CD comes in a heavyweight gatefold laminated digipack with postcard by illustrator Peter Stevenson.
    Manufactured by Disc Wizards Ltd.

Karjase Laulud (Shepherd Songs)

Traditional, new music & additional words by Sille Ilves, arranged by Sille Ilves.

lyrics

Eile tapsin sääse ma,
hobusest ta suurem.
Rasva panin sulama,
tuli terve koorem.
Ole kingsepp nõnda hea
tee nüüd saapad mulle.
Kahjuks seda ma ei tea
milles maksan sulle.

Homme sõidan laevaga
üle metsa suure.
Pootsmanniks ma paigaldan
heeringase noore.
Õhulaevast korraga
vedada võib noota,
aga halva ilmaga
ei seda maksa loota.

Vihmakõne, vellekõne, õõ - oo
ära minnu likes teku! õõ - oo
Likes teku tsirgukõista õõ - oo
kaunist karjalatsekõista õõ - oo

Mul ei kodu kon ma kuiva õõ - oo
Mul ei esä tare tennu õõ - oo
kuuse all om minu kodu õõ - oo
tare tamme lehe all õõ – oo

Vihmasagar sugulane õõ – oo
ooke mu omane õõ – oo
mine saja Saksamaal õõ – oo
seal need sannad palase õõ – oo
sinna vihma oodetasse õõ – oo

sinna vihma oodetasse õõ – oo
sinna vihma oodetasse õõ – oo

Tune called “Cider Makers” by S. Ilves



I killed a mosquito yesterday
that was bigger than a horse.
I put the fat to melt,
it became a full load of it!
Shoemaker so good,
make boots for me now,
but unfortunately I don't know
how I shall pay you!

Tomorrow I shall sail with a ship
over the big forest.
I'll name for a bo'sun
a young herring.
From this aircraft altogether
you can drag a dragnet,
but with bad weather,
you can't hope for that!

Rain, my dear brother
don't you make me wet!
Make me wet, me, poor birdling,
me, pretty shepherd child.

I don't have a home to keep myself dry,
my father hasn't made me a shepherd's hut.
Under the pine tree is my home,
under the oak trees' leaf is my shelter.

Rain, my dear relative,
shower, my cousin
go and rain in Germany,
there those huts are burning,
there they expect some rain.

There they expect some rain,
there they expect some rain.
