petetud neiu

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.

about

Petetud Neiu (Cheated Maiden)

Traditional, learnt from Meelika Hainsoo, arranged Sille Ilves.

lyrics

Miks roosipuna ruttab minu palgelt kaduma?
Miks armastan mina nutta, kui kõik on hõiskamas?

Ma väetilt ema süles ka nutsin pisaraid.
Kui aga kasvin üles, ei mäletand ma neid.

Kõik ilm kui kullameri mul näitas läikima
ja minu soontes veri, lõi õnnest tuksuma.

Kõik tantsupidud, talgud mina sõitsin hoolega
kus noorte meeste pilgud ka võitsin rutuga.

Kõik südamed nii soojad minu vastu tuksusid
ja laadal suslad saiad minu põlle langesid.

Aga mikspärast roosipuna ruttab minu palgelt kaduma?
Miks armastan ma nutta, kui kõik on hõiskamas?

Oh armas noormees kuule, sa kurvaks värise,
sest neiu petjad huuled sind saatvad hauale.





Why is the rose blush is fading away from my face so quick?
Why do I love crying, when all the others are cheering?

I also shed tears when I was a baby on my mother's lap,
but when I grew up, I didn't remember that.

All the World like a golden sea has brightly shining for me,
and blood started to beat for happiness in my veins.

All the dance parties and work parties I took part so keenly,
where I caught many of the young man's eyes so quickly.

All these warm hearts were beating for me
and in the fair some hot baked bread fell onto my apron.
But why is the rose blush fading away from my face?
Why do I love crying, when all the others are cheering?

“Oh, you dear young man, listen to me and shake for sorrow,
because this cheated maiden's lips are sending you to your grave!”

(Kannel tuning: g,C,D,E,F#,G,A)
