from KANNEL by Sille Ilves

    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.

Laul Ääremaalt (Song from the Edgeland)

Traditional “ Kui Miä Kazvolin Kanainõ” from Vaipoole in Votian language (vaďďa tšeeli), learnt from Eva Mitreikina, the tune between verses is from island of Pakri, traditional arranged Sille Ilves.
Votia is a Finno-Ugric language related to Estonian found just to the east of Estonia.

In the song a woman laments that she had more fun and was more free before she was married.

lyrics

Kui miä kazvolin kanainõ,
nõizin neito noorikkõinõ.

Vijjee velloo veerüeez,
kuuvve velloo kukkazõn.

Seittsemee däädää nõjallõ,
kahõssõmõõ minnää natonnõ.

Vellet sirkutõtti sizossi,
vellää naized naossi.

Isä kuttsu kullõssi,
maama ehto lahzõssi

Muu pere muruu kukassi
muu pere muruu kukassi.

Tune called “Pakri valss” traditional From Pakri island.

Menin marja muilõõ mailõõ,
kana muilõõ kallailõõ.

Tšäin tšüläz rohkaap muita,
makazin vähepii muita,
tein tüütä enepii muita,
sištši en kuulu kunniaasõõ.

Nimi tõinõ muutõttii
perkeleessi kutsuttii.

Tune called “Pakri valss” traditional From Pakri island.

Kui miä kazvolin kanainõ,
nõizin neito noorikkõinõ.


Eestikeelne tṍlge:

kui ma kasvasin kanakene
(nõizin) noor neiukene
kuue venna veeres
seitsme onu nõjal.
kaheksa minia (nadonne)
vennad kutsusid mind õeks,
venna naised (naossi),
isa kullakeseks,
ema ehtis lahkelt.
Läksin, mari, muule maale
kana, teistele kallastele.
Tegin tööd teistest rohkem,
magasin teistest vähem,
käisin külas teistest vähem.
Siiski ei kuulu ausse,
nimi teiseks muudeti,
põrguliseks kutsuti.
