The lyrics of Mari Boine's song Eadnan bakti can be seen as a dialogue between the parts of the physical world and the singer's soul. The opening lines translate to "The earth's surface and marrow, and the white snow that you own. The wind rustles and the fire flickers, it means that new Earth is born." These lines seem to be celebrating the beauty of the natural world and how it is constantly renewing itself.
The next lines refer to a conversation with the singer's own soul, imagining it as a separate entity from herself. She asks her soul to listen to her words, to hear the stories that are being told, and to feel her pain. The last lines seem to again celebrate her connection with the natural world, saying "And the flame of what you own will be cooked, as you know, spirits will laugh and speak. You have a grandmother, a grandfather, a mother. That's why you should live your life in peace. And the light of what you own" suggests that the beauty and light that is within each person should be nurtured and celebrated.
Overall, the lyrics of the song seem to be reflecting on the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world, and the importance of living in harmony with both.

달아나는 바람을 달려가 붙잡았을 때 그 것은 나의 몸부림이었다 .
그렇게 그 녀석은 놀리듯 내게서
저 만큼 종종걸음으로 가버렸다!
헝클어진 내 머리칼만 남겨두고...
벌게진 눈으로 너를 바라보았을때
너도 나처럼 그랬다!
보여주기 싫어 아무말 없이 가버렸다 .
방울방울 그 사이로 내가 거기에 있었다.
아주 오래전부터 그게 나고 너였다.
그래 !

Dear Mari, I saw you live many years ago. The concert was in Germany in the city of Magdeburg in the Karstadt restaurant. There were two feelings in me. The one thing, I was so lucky to experience you. The other thing, I was so shocked that the organizers didn't understand who they had on stage there. At the end, the organizers gave you an oversized bottle of sparkling wine. At that moment I was ashamed of it. I had discovered your music many years before the concert. And this discovery almost came as a shock to me. Because my ego had experienced for the first time where my soul is at home. That was an overwhelming feeling. I was so young and I had to learn to deal with it. I thank you so much that you have built a bridge for me and many others with your creative power into a world, that has its origin before this time and for which so many yearn without knowing it. I wish you in gratitude the best! Elsa

You are so gracefully beautiful. Like a fine wine 🍷 you're getting better and better with age. When I was researching my Samí heritage years ago your music connected me in such a beautiful way. I hope to visit and see you perform live. Love from the USA ❤️
