"The running graves of war", and some other songs

 The song Elämää juoksuhaudoissa - Life in trenches https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DLgi0-IaRCk&pp=ygUZRWzDpG3DpMOkIGp1b2tzdWhhdWRvaXNzYQ%3D%3D tells of World War II in Finland, but the perspective is of children living with a serious mind their daily lives thinking of all kinds of questions in life and so of war too as a strenous effort with the danger of death and of getting wounded, but their own lives are filled with school work and children's chores and running around etc. So the perspective is of family life and of my text Saying "Wonderful, miracle like beings" https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2024/01/saying-wonderful-miracle-like-beings.html or something culturally in that direction, with such a way of looking. I was born and raised in Helsinki, where the view is that all things have to be taken into account, but rationally with their right proportions and places in life, without losing wisdom of life and healthy spirit in daily life in all occasions, without losing fair play as a rule, wisdom in the world. Life is for living. 



Here is a song video of Syyslaulu, a song of the autumn of the four seasons of the year https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7pLEdOtNY3E&pp=ygURU3l5c2xhdWx1IEVuZ2xpc2g%3D


"The way home feels long, not much passer-bys.

The evenings get extinguished to dark brownish twilight.

Come to comfort me, in my dark moods of lonely autumn evenings.

Oh, the darkness makes one think of what one otherwuse does not think at all : 

I remember how much chores I wanted to do and how little of it I got done.

Hurry, my love. Already love is calling. The moments of the day aren't so long.

Let lights be put on in homes. The night will soon be coming. The autumn will take away summer's fliwers.

I am seeking fir something that we have forgotten, which could have been in some other ways. The summer is like an unreachable dream of what could have been otherwise. I am seeking for something I used to want, as if it had gotten our lives in flower. Now that a storm is raging, I ...


...

I guess I now love less than I used to love. But more than you will ever know. 

When the storm is raging. Wind carrying bubble head waves.

It is most important to follow our heart's voice, and give with our all strenght good living conditions in this society for each others' lives.

Kevätsointuja, Spring chords (sung here by the famous old male choir of former? students of the University of Helsinki) 



Valkoakaasiat, sung by Tamara Lund, tge melody tell of the charm of a garden as one comes out of a door from indoors in the end of May and in the beginning of June.

(Breasts as a bodily characteristic refer to teaching wisdom of life to especially younger generation people around, making living environment (also the people) and wisdom in use good for life (compare with giving many brochures). Broad shoulders refer to carrying things agilely or with skill or likewise caring for work like things at hand like a needed skilled responsible worker.)


Miss soutaen tuulessa 


"Where the branches of the slender young trees with white trunk with black fractures, wave in the wind and make a singing sigh,

and tge roses shine most brightly,

There let us too make a love vow and vow faithfulness like the wild nature's ideal's way of life there.

And upon our head we would have a small hut, let's enjoy this happinesses' charm.

Here were our childhood's most wonderful days.

From my long text about wisdom of life for living withthe four seasons (see miraclelikenature.blogspot.com ) : 

READ this chapter, it is the ground for staying warm in the autumn: 

When in the late summer waters in the lakes get cooler because of the rains and the weather is in the late summer and in the beginning of autumn somewhat cooler but such that is good to spend time outdoors, then if you for example on the way tip your feet to the water in the lake shore or walk in teh terrain among the grasses which have partly been burn and dried by the heat of the hot summer days, you are then at the same time both fierce and warm enough, you feel the power of the summer time's nature, it's wisdom, you watch life from the point of view of a wild animal, from a point of view that gets superbly well along with the seasons, life's toughness, it's warmth, the wisdom of an almost full lifetime, summer's emotionality and the challenges that the nearing autumn time brings to wisdom, to how to be strong, weather proof, able to make preparations, oneself warm and wise, with wisdom of life, feeling, with foresight, one who finds balance between energy reserves and the demands of the weather, an indian of the late summer, a few steps in the bushes of the shoreline, on the shore stones, and when the weather gets cooler or the feet get wet soon fleeing indoors, to eat pie, woolen socks warming one's feet, watching out of the window, planning adventures, looking for nice things to do.

Suomen laulu, Finland's song, (sung here by the old male choir of former? engineering students in the Aalto University in Espoo, formerly engineering was at the same place but separate and with the name Helsinki University of Technology), is a song about the autumn, it's weathers in the nature, at least October onwards


"Hear how song echoes, 

A song from the sage Vainämöinen's kannel is singing,

The song is Finland's song.

Hear how pines sigh loudly in the wind,

Hear how steep places in rivers thunder,

The song is Finland's. 


Everywhere the sound echoes,

Everywhere the strings of kannel sing loud

They sing the song of Finland.

If you have been given a heart

In both sorrow and joy listen to

The song of Finland."
