KORPIKLAANI - Henkselipoika (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

#korpiklaani #folkmetal #henkselipoika

A Boy in Suspenders

The narrator in the song is a farmhand, who watches maids work while remaining lazy himself during a warm summer day. He would like to have one of the maids as his partner but is unable to decide who. Fond of parties and fun, the farmhand ponders whether the maids have noticed him.

*** Join Korpiklaani celebrating their release of their Vodka with a livestream show from inside the Pyynikin Brewery.
Saturday 29 August 2020 @ 8pm CET.

KORPIKLAANI's album 'KULKIJA' is out worldwide via Nuclear Blast.

Translated Lyrics:

I watch the maids in the yard
Thinking which one I'd still know when I'm old
But how to get old with one
is an entirely different story

I place a straw on my lips
and watch the maids work
One is carrying milk in the jugs
Who has spent the night in her shed?

I adjust my hat on my forehead
it's being bothered by the needles of the sun
Or maybe it's the red cheeks of the maids
clearing my sorrows from my chest

And to step like over flowers
over days and wanderer's nights
now that I'm watching my maid in the yard
as a farmhand I'm opening doors

Has the maid ever looked at
this handsome boy in suspenders
who rewards the musician at the party
"Over the night, over the work still play!"

Has the maid ever looked at
this handsome boy in suspenders?
Who rewards the musician at the party
"Over the night, over the work still play!"

I watch the maids in the yard
at the fertile hair of the third one,
even though her smile is like a golden summer night,
at day she weaves the blackest sock

Dark clouds are showing there
quickly the yard gets wet from the rain
whoever opens the door of the hallway
will for a long time walk at her side

And to step like over flowers
over days and wanderer's nights
now that I'm watching my maid in the yard
as a farmhand I'm opening doors

Has the maid ever looked at
this handsome boy in suspenders
who rewards the musician at the party
"Over the night, over the work still play!"

Has the maid ever looked at
this handsome boy in suspenders
who rewards the musician at the party
"Over the night, over the work still play!"

It's a rough translation, some of the meaning is lost due to English not being able to replicate poetic Finnish, and also due to some of the words having a more cultural significance to Finns

Currently my favorite song of Korpiklaani, right besides "Harmaja", "Kotikonnut" and "Aallon alla".
"Henkselipoika" always makes me think about my travels, how great life is, feeling alive and how much fun I had on Korpiklaani gigs all around Europe.
No matter what happens, if I go on a journey to see a Korpiklaani gig, you can always bet that I will feel alive and happy afterwards.
I'll give Henkselipoika a 9/10, thanks for that great song!

Minä piikoja pihalla katselen
Kuka ois yhä vanhana tuttu
Mutta kuinka me vanhaksi päädyttäisiin
Se onkin jo ihan eri juttu

Minä heinäsen huulille asetan
Siinä katselen piikojen työtä:
Yksi kantaa jo maitoa kannuissa
Kuka ollut on aitassa yötä?

Minä hattua otsalla parannan
Sitä auringon neulaset vaivaa
Vaiko piikojen poskien punerrus
Joka surujani rinnasta raivaa?

Ja astua kuin yli kukkasten
Yli päivien kulkuriöiden
Kun piikaani pihalla katselen
Renkinä ovia availen

Onko piikanen milloinkaan katsonut
Tätä koreaa henkselipoikaa?
Joka kesteissä pelimannin palkitsee:
”yli yön, yli työn yhä soikaa!”

Minä piikoja pihalla katselen
Sitä kolmannen viljavaa tukkaa
Vaikka hymy kuin kesäyö kultainen
Kutoo päivin se mustinta sukkaa

Siinä tummia pilviä pilkottelee
Piha sateesta sukkelaan kastuu
Kuka porstuaan ovensa avaakaan
Vielä rinnalla aikoja astuu

Ja astua kuin yli kukkasten
Yli päivien kulkuriöiden
Kun piikaani pihalla katselen
Renkinä ovia availen

Onko piikanen milloinkaan katsonut
Tätä koreaa henkselipoikaa?
Joka kesteissä pelimannin palkitsee:
”yli yön, yli työn yhä soikaa!”


I'm watching at the working maids in the yard
i wonder who i'd like to know when we get old
But oh, how we'd grow old
that's a different story


With a blade of grass in my mouth
I'm watching at the working maids
one carries jugs full of milk,
who has stayed a night in her shed?

I fit my hat on my head,
feeling the needles of sunlight burning,
or is it the reddening of their cheeks,
which melts away all the grief i have in my heart

Stepping on carefully like going over flowers in a field
Through days, wandering nights
As i watch at my girl in the yard
Open the doors for her as a farmhand

Oh have you young maid
ever noticed this flashy boy in suspenders
The one always in the parties, couraging the spelmen:
"Let the music play through nights, through work let it play!"

I'm watching at the working maids in the yard
Especially that one with long, blond hair
Even if she has a smile like a beautiful summer night,
At days she knits the blackest socks

Dark clouds fill up the sky,
Rain wettens the yard in seconds
whoever shall open up the door into their shed
Shall walk on side by side through the times

Stepping on carefully like going over flowers in a field
Through days, wandering nights
As i watch at my girl at the yard
Open the doors for her as a farmhand

Oh have you young maid
ever noticed this flashy boy in suspenders
The one always in the parties, couraging the spelmen:
"Let the music play through nights, through work let it play!"

[Terran]

Вот это уже старые добрые Korpiklaani) Super!!!

[alexandernovatney]

[zatupok]

Супер! Лучшая фолк-группа. Приезжайте снова в Нижний Новгород)

[MikhailZelenkov]

Красиво снято. Сразу хочется выехать из города в деревню ;)

[Yerdn]

Очень позитивная песня и очень позитивный клип. Корпи вообще классные.

[maxthepaladin]

So, if you want a girl to like you back, then introduce her to Korpiklaani

Sounds about right

[lifewitwoody]

Heard this when I moved to Norge, even though Finnish is a completely different language, I love the voice and the theme of the folkish tradition mixed with metal! Keep rockin Fins!

[tll]

That's I'm moving to Korpiklaaniland!!

[ОльгаБруй-йж]

Классная группа, думаю что явно слушали Песняров. И молодцы, сделали что надо.

[rafit]

Another great song! Greetings from Poland!

Incorporating yourselves into the storylines of the music videos is such a cool way to enjoy both listening and watching them!
