About 'Kotikonnut' ("Homestead"):
During his journey, a wanderer yearningly looks back on his home, childhood and the beauty of everything. He remembers running with his girl on the meadow, believing it to last till the end of times. Although his home is now the road and a carriage run by joy, he will still always remember the happiness of his home and youth. At the time the moon was golden, shining everywhere at night, lighting up the otherwise dark countryside and the forest. The wanderer eventually accepts that everything that comes, will one day fade into a distant memory.

LYRICS:
Hiirenkorvat
kotikonnuille jäivät
niistä kylvöpäivän helposti laski
silloin pirtin
päällä sauhussa
kylpi korvat
joiden
alla kerran oli kaski
Nousi askel
vailla murheita
eikä muisti niitä
edes jäljestä tiennyt
silti hetken
ilorattaissa
tahtoi mieli tietää:
tässä kotiniko lie nyt?

Katolla on kultaa
lapsuudesta
asti tuttu

on meille palava

Siellä illat istuu se
jonka surut laantuu
ja jonka sylissä kaiken
kevään keinut
taidan juosta niityt
kuin heilan heinäsenä
aikoja vielä vierelläni heilut

Kauempana kuulen
siellä kaiut tuulen nostaa
hiljalleen jo päätä
eivät illat tanssi
jos on maanneet kesäkuussa vielä
viime talven jäätä

Vihtavarret
kylän raitilta
toivat tuoksun jollaista ei joka poika laita

silloin ilo istui lauteilla
kävi savu joka kortta pitkin kotitalon maita
Askel nous
niitä muistoissa pidän
vaikka häilyvä on välillä sen tunne
harmaat aatteet niitä väijyä saa
vaan ei unhoon painu
vaikka kuljen minä kunne

Kaikki maa on kultaa
lapsuudesta asti tuttu on meille palava.

Siellä illat istuu se, jonka surut laantuu, ja jonka sylissä kaiken kevään keinut,
taidan juosta niityt kuin heilan heinäsenä, aikoja vielä vierelläni heilut.

Se ilmaan liitää
hiljaa siivet kuin sinessä kiitää lehdilläni
se viljat viiltää
kuultaa kerran sen kauneus
kunnes katoavaa on kaikki tuleva

Siellä illat istuu se, jonka surut laantuu, ja jonka sylissä kaiken kevään keinut,
taidan juosta niityt kuin heilan heinäsenä, aikoja vielä vierelläni heilut.

Kauempana kuulen
siellä kaiut tuulen
nostaa hiljalleen jo päätä
eivät illat tanssi
jos on maanneet kesäkuussa
vielä viime talven jäätä

Korpiklaani : the talent of bringing the depressed back to happiness

[vaspeter]

With this vocalization and what the lyrics are about, you will never convice me that Finns are not elves in disguise.

[deshelly_athetos]

I do not understand a word. My soul does.

[mikaelkurki]

Korpiklaani has such genious and poetic lyrics that it makes even a native finnish speaker think about them for a moment.

[juergenstrauss]

I love this music....I love Finland....I love the Finnish ..i...love go on..go

[calebaker]

As a person who understands nothing of the Finnish language I really enjoyed reading the lyrics along with this song. The structure and annunciations of their words are so different from ours, in an interesting way. Great song, the sound of it reminds me of a world we should all strive to get back to.

[romanpokutskyiofficial]

bravo, I don't understand any words of finnish, but the rhytm, melody, atmosphere are unspoken!

[Spaceviking]

After reading along to the lyrics, I am now able to speak flawless Finnish.

[EKIPAFORM]

Greetings from Poland,
I'm born in 2011 and in 2018 I was at a concert in Wrocław because I grew up on this music, I've been listening to korpiklaani since childhood.

[emma-tarja]

Mahtavaa, niin kuin aina. Terveisiä Valko-Venäjältä!

[Perttu]

The new leaves of the birch tree were left at my old home
One could count the day of sowing from them easily.
Back then, on top of the house the crops were bathing in smoke
crops under which once was the burn- cleared earth.

One's step rose without heed of sorrows
and memory wouldn't even know them from one's tracks.
Still, for a moment in the wheels of joy, one's mind wanted to know:
Is my home here now?

In the roof there's gold, something that's known all the way from childhood
is burning to us.

There the nights sit out the one, whose sorrows subside
In the lap of whom you sway all spring long.
I want to run the meadows like in the most beautiful days of July
There is still time left where you swing next to me.

Further away I hear, there the echoes of the wind
slowly rise their heads
The evenings won't dance, if they lied in the ice of the last winter all the way in June.

The branches of the birch tree from the road of the village brought a fragrance
that not any lad can bring.
Back then joy sat in the benches of the sauna, the smoke ran along every
cane through the lands of my home.

My steps rose, I keep them in my memories even though
mercurial sometimes is the feeling of them
Gray thoughts can stalk them, but I won't forget them,
no matter where I may go.

All the land is gold, known all the way from childhood
is burning to us.

(chorus)

It glides into the air, hushed wings like in dainty blueness
rush at my leaves
It slices the crops, shines once it's beauty,
until fading is everything that is to come.

So basically for me this song is a praise of summer days in his childhood/country home.

[dudo]

My dudes... either you are having a party, or if you're just chilling, or if you're having a tough time... this band is answer to everyting: happines, joy and all the other things you need in life

[vadimber]

Хороши финны, очень приятны их музыкальные труды

[BartekSlater]

First Powerwolf, now Korpiklaani... 2018 is a good year for metal

[mikametalassassin]

Ah, Kotikonnut. My favorite song besides "Henkselipoika" and "Harmaja".
It always reminds me of my roots and home, even when I'm traveling the world.
It always makes me think about how I'll never forget my roots even when I'm living in another country.
Thanks for that masterpiece, Korpiklaani.
Kotikonnut gets a 9/10, have a nice day.

[steamaccount]
