A part of me always longs for
The snow-silvered expanses
Where ice gems, rime-clad mountain birches
Gentle brush, light embrace

A part of me always awaits
To inhale these expanses
Tear pearls on consoling snow drifts
Under the snow cover I find my rest

A part of me
Like snow crust of steel
A part of me
Like powder snow

Njuvččaid mun oidnen fas girdimen jo dán giđa

Swans I saw flying again this spring
Every spring they settle on this lake
The years go by so fast and swans come to remind me

Every spring they settle on this lake
The years go by so fast and swans come to remind me

Šáddengo ...

What about getting together?
Maybe!
Shall we try it one day?

Did I end up on the wrong side of the river?
There is no end to this longing
Mercy upon me! Mercy upon me!
O mine!

You are so popular
And I am so plain
Really?
Well, almost plain

We sit at separate tables.
Glance at each other
Good gracious!
I feel so tempted

Did I end ...

That’s when it all began
I met you in rainy weather
Damn!
I crept under your jacket

Did I end ...

Through snow flurries against the wind
The weather won’t stop us
From mild weather to extreme frost
From one edge to the other we yoik

From generation to generation we make it
Guided by ancestors’ advice
They strengthen our trust in our abilities
They guide us patiently

This solar son rejoices
Watching the new fawns

The little fawns
The beautiful fawns
On their light feet
They keep trotting

The little fawns
They grunt after their mothers
They lean against their mothers’ side
Against the mother’s warmth

This solar daughter is
Yoiking new fawns

Let’s climb the highest mountain
Let’s dance through life
Share the sweetest stories
The stars of joy in your eyes light up the heavens

Let’s paint the colors of life
I craft a smile in your mind
To laugh even for the ancestors to hear it
Icy winds won’t fell you, I won’t stop supporting you

You have it all
The vastness of the whole world
Many unexplored spheres
So bright, gentle, strong and full of variety
That’s what you are
Dear sister

Let’s climb the highest mountain
Let’s dance through life
Share the sweetest stories
The stars of joy in your eyes light up the heavens

There was this man who
Was to have
Power over all land
Wanting to govern everybody
And therefore needed power

He wanted to show off
Wealth was the arena

Businessmen make the world go round
Leaders try to make decisions

Those who rule have the power
Those with money want an ever bigger share

Businessmen make the world go round

Dán luođi Ullá lea juoigan boahttevaš “Čázi áittardeaddji” -filbmii. Luohti lea oamastuvvon čáhcái mii addá midjiide eallima Eatnama alde ja lea oassi buot eallevaččain. Čáhci gullá deaŧalamos luondduelemeanttaide mas mii galgat atnit fuola ja maid mii galgat gudnejahttit. Čáhci lea buorideaddji ja eallinsivdnideaddji fápmu.

This yoik was presented by Ulla for the forthcoming film “Memory of Water”. The yoik is dedicated to water which is our vital force on Earth and a part of everything alive. Water is among the most important elements of nature which should be taken good care of and held in respect. Water is a curative and life-producing power.

Dát luohti lea oamastuvvon Fannii gii lea Ullá siessal. Sámi juoiganárbevierus mii bidjat luođi bearašlahtuidasamet dahje fulkkiidasamet ja oahppásiidda, ja dan láhkai mii láhčit olbmui saji min sosiála vuogádahkii ja nannet olbmo identiteahta ja gullevašvuođa sámi servodahkii ja guvlui.

This yoik is dedicated to Fanni, the daughter of Ulla’s brother. In Saami yoiking heritage we dedicate yoiks to our dearest and nearest, and doing so we include a person in our social order and strengthen their identity and sense of belonging to the Saami society and area.

Dat lei rikkis Láiddiid luohti

Mis dat ledje mohtorsahát ja vel čuovgamohtorat
Gárnjárga dat beare joradii ja čuovggadii jo

Gárnjárggas dat márki kruvdnu joradii jo

This is the wealthy Láiddes’ yoik

We had four stores
we had four motor boats

We had chain saws and generators for lighting
Gárnjárga just rotated and glared

In Gárnjárga marks and crowns kept rolling

Juogadeadnu dán čábbodaga
Eallima šalddis boađát mu ovddal
Beallemuttus deaivvadetne
Čoavdit dáid diliid, čuolmmadit ráfi

Ruovttu reaškkas skájaida

Giitevažžan vádjolan
Bajásšattan Sámi eatnamis

Let’s share this beauty
An encounter on life’s bridge
We meet halfways
To clear up things, to make peace

I glance through the window
I see the hills, the abode of my mind
Grandma’s and grandpa’s tales
Travel with me and stay in my heart

Home is full of laughter
Joy and good mood empower me
Grateful I travel
And grow up in the land of the Sámi

New thoughts
new times
we have to push on
we have to change
- we see gnomes no more
those subterraneans
’cause we believe in them no more
and so they disappear

We still hear the yoik
we still hear the herd
how much longer
before they disappear
- we fish with nets
and rods and lures
how much longer
someone holds back

If we lose our faith
our visions have power no more
if our memory fails us
we exist no more

New thoughts
new times
we have to push on
we have to change
- with others talking
seeing for us
how do we manage
to tend our environment

we exist no more

Wearing a posh fur coat
a proud four-corner cap
he drove off to the fair
with his reindeer trotting
We travel with reindeer caravans
tend our herds, graze them
in good weather, snowstorms, frosts
from dawn to dusk
The reindeer strides
and the sled flies
across lowlands, highlands
the adorned reindeer trots along
He swung to the market place
made it to the people there
led his reindeer on pasture
and threw in a Saami yoik.

I get my provisions from the nature
I put up my cone-shaped tent on a birchwood ridge
To live by the herd
To ski from the woods to the hills

We honor and thank
The spirits of the ancient grandmothers
Through ancient times
they have guided us to the beginning of life

Let the sacred stone be worshiped
let it have its sacrifice
to honor the holy spirit
on the top of the Áilegas hill.

I feel strongly about you
I admit with no embarrassment
I might have dreamt all of it up
I don’t know what’s true anymore

Do you believe in these dreams
which imprint themselves in our minds
I felt your presence in those dreams
we’ll come together some day

Tie my eyes and I see clearly
We haven’t met and I know you
this I know deep in my heart
you are my genuine friend

We have lived through many things together
even if I cannot remember it
I can share this moment with you
I’m used to miss you.

I climb to the top of the Áilegas hill
To wait for my love, the sun father
There he comes again with his warm rays
caressing, kissing my face

I spread my arms to embrace you once more
Sun father I thank you right here
Blood cakes are my sacrifice
I light a fire to honor you

I dance around the fire
hum yoiks, our Saami songs
Shiny Áilegas, glimmering snow
Sun father I worship you

The boy from the next village
So stately and so brisk
Doesn’t bum around
A tremendous boyfriend-to-be

The guy in the other village
So witty and so gentle
Isn’t too self-important
A delight to the eye

The youth on the outskirts
So nimble and so clever
He is not too bad
We sure can tame him

The brat next door
An unmanageable creature
To serve as a stopgap
If you get no one else

Eanan, čiega mu várregurrii, jeakki ravdii, buvrri sisa

Earth, hide me at the foot of a mountain, on the skirts of a marsh, in a peat hut
Earth, adorn me with bright plants, take me as nature’s maid

Earth, hide me in a cave, nature’s bosom, in a snowdrift
Earth, take me as your daughter

The traveler roams the wild
his unruly mind flies restlessly
seeking shelter and humming
he takes no fright at the quaking earth

There’s no time for resignation
The demons are about to get you
You have to listen to your senses
and let the north winds sway you

He studies the signs of nature
follows the winding paths
listens to the wind’s song
to a breeze signaling departure

There’s no time to resign
The demons are about to get you
You have to listen to your senses
and let the north winds sway you

He shatters the chains
Unwinds the world’s bonds

Go giđđa boahtá mun fas morihan

When spring comes I wake up again
Like a bear coming out of the den
The darkness lasted so long
too long if you ask me
As a shadow I travelled with the moon

As a shadow I travelled in the land of shadows
I waded in the soft silvery snowdrifts of the darkness
As a shadow I travelled in the land of shadows
The stars gleam the northern lights flicker

The frosty polar night is over now
I’ll get my vital force back again
Too long I travelled in a dream
too long if you ask me
As as shadow I travelled with frost in my body

As a shadow I travelled in the land of shadows
I waded in the soft silvery snowdrifts of the darkness
As a shadow I travelled in the land of shadows
the stars gleam, the northern lights flicker
