Murtumaan ei kristityn miekkakaan meitä saa
Käymme teistoa ainiaan
Nyt laulumme jumalille raikaa saa
Siis tuoppinne nostakaa!

We won't break even by the christian sword
We'll keep on fighting
Now let the songs sound to the Gods
So raise your pints!

If you bought the CD and read the lyrics booklet you'd know

Anyhoo, if I rememeber correctly it's something to do with homebrewed ale and a grandfather.

Aren't most things to do with possibly toxic drink and elderly people?

Doesn't it roughly translate as "Old Man Ale"? I think that's what it said in the CD booklet.

Sahti is a traditional Finnish dark ale made of a variety of grains. Waari can mean grandpa, but in this case probably closer to an old man.

I looked Saahti-Waari up in my booklet, there was a backgroundstory to the song, but not a direct translation. Because I doesn't understand finnish, could anybody speaking this language translate it for us?

Uh... My booklet is in English.

Vaari on the other hand actually means grandfather, but the song isn't about any particular brewing old man, the vaari just stands for tradition.

Another tradition, that was almost killed but is slowly rearing it's head is the old pagan culture. By no means can it take the form it had back then, the world being a completely differant place than it was for a millenium ago. But, as well as Sahti is still brewed in Finland, a new generation is carrying the old pagan traditions into a modern world. Sahti-Waari is a song raising pints to all modern pagans around the world.

And haven't seen you on here in ages kleinerTroll!
