Minun Kultani Kaunis On
Bjork Lyrics

The song "Minun Kultani Kaunis On" by Björk is actually a traditional Finnish folk song that she covered in the early 1990s. The song is a simple love ballad that describes the beauty of the singer's beloved, despite her being "slender" or "kaitaluinen" in Finnish. The chorus "Hei huulia hillallaa!" doesn't have a direct translation but is more of a fun and improvised expression of joy.

The singer talks about taking his beloved to the market where even the horses laugh at her slender appearance. However, he doesn't care as he sees the beauty in her that goes beyond her physical appearance. The song is a celebration of love that goes beyond societal expectations and norms.

Interestingly, Björk's cover of the song features several changes to the original lyrics, which is common in folk music where songs are constantly changed and adapted over time. For example, Björk sings "kaitaluinen" instead of the original word "hoikka," which means slender but has a slightly different connotation.
