Boine (born 8 November 1956 in Finnmark, Norway) grew up amid the Laestadian Christian movement as well as amidst discrimination against her people. She was asked to perform at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but refused because she perceived the invitation as an attempt to bring a token minority to the ceremonies. Gula Gula (1989, Real World) was her breakthrough release, and she has continued to record popular albums.

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du fámus ii leat ivdni
don leat vilges suola
Na gosa dal dološ olbmuin
logat vilges suola
Don it gažadala
go don han visot dieđat
Mii leat eksotálačča
rivvet alččesat ivdnin

Dus ii ravkke váibmu
don leat vilges suola
Du sánit leat bahččá
ja nu guoktilačča

Alimužži bahkket




earáid ala čuožžut
Badjelgeahččan haksu
dien du fiinna hájas

My mind is not at peace

You are the salt of life


Na gosa dal dološ olbmuin
In the midst of darkness and hurt


logat vilges suola
I taste the salt of life


Don it gažadala
You don't understand

What it means to live in two worlds


Mii leat eksotálačča
We are the outsiders


rivvet alččesat ivdnin
Who long to find our way home

My heart does not rest

You are the salt of life


Du sánit leat bahččá
My words are but empty


ja nu guoktilačča
And I whisper


Alimužži bahkket
The ancient echoes


earáid ala čuožžut
Are calling us by name


Badjelgeahččan haksu
Through the foggy horizon


dien du fiinna hájas
Towards the light of dawn

@LG-kh2bu

Does anyone know the Sámi lyrics?

@varpuskainen

I wonder if they haven't been translated for a reason. Vilgges suola means white thief if I've understood correctly and this is a song about colonialism.

Da fámus ii leat ivdni
Don leat vilges suola
Ná gosa dal dološ olđmuin
Logat vilges suola
Don it gažadala
Go donhan visot dieđát
Mii leat eksotálačča
Rivvet alccesat ivdnin

Dus ii ravkke váibmu
Don leat vilges suola
Du sánit leat bahččá
Ja nu guoktilačča

Alimužžii bahkket
Earáid ala čvožžut
Badjelgeahččan háksu
Dien du fiina hájas
