What is the meaning of the songs "Metsaviha" and give it an song "Metsaviha 1" also? I saw an Video of Metsaviha 3 also in Internet. I enjoyed your music very much in December in Frankfurt and especially the song "Metsaviha 2", which you played finally.

"Metsaviha" is one of the many old Estonian euphemistic words for wolf. As is "metsatöll". :)

Mõtlen sama. Viljandi lossimäed on vaikseks jäänud ja igatsevad juba seda raju mida suudab tekitada vaid Metsatöll. Tulge, ja pange see maagiline koht kajama!

Äio

Äio is the essence of sleep. Sleep is the brother of death. Äio gives people sleep to rest from daily troubles, lets the soul free and allows it to soar. Sleep makes the aching body and soul strong again.

‘Äio’, which appeared in the older South Estonian literary language as “Äiu”, in more recent times and even today appears in the choruses of lullabies: “Äiu-äiu, kussu-kussu” (English match for “kussu” is “hush”, in South Estonian “tšuu-tšuu” – everywhere it sounds the same). Putting the child asleep was a magical activity and lullabies were kinds of magical spells that work quite well even today – the child does fall asleep. Thus was the child hushed to sleep. ‘Äiu’ or ‘Äio’ was the essence of sleep that came upon people and took them into its power. ‘Äio’, similar to other essences or powers (these are not gods as they appear in the world-view of a western person, even the word “jumal” which corresponds to “god” means in the Estonian language a power or essence, not an old geezer sitting on a cloud), such as Taara (subsequently the Scandinavian male god Thor), or the earth-mother, is a female essence. Not a male, as it is with the concept of God in the Christian tradition. In Finland, the word for mother is “Äiti” – the one who hushes. Before Äiu there was definitely also “Uni” (sleep) who was called upon – this is also readily apparent in old lullabies. Meanings change in time, as do beliefs.


In olden times, the following was sung to children: “Äiu-äiu towards death, grow towards cold grave, move towards a sandy hole” – sleep, too, was like a small death. Remember that small children are afraid of going to sleep, because they do not know, once they fall asleep, whether they will ever see the next morning, the sun and the hushing mother again. This is where the “brother of death” comes from. Or was it the sister – I can no longer remember.

And thus like children we all go to sleep each night, but we have become accustomed to waking up every morning, and that each day the sun will rise again and that every day our life-keeper will be there, be it the hushing mother, the mother of our own children, or the earth-mother. But one day death will take sleep’s place.

Metsatöll laulis:
" ... Kui vajub raskelt randa see merelaeva voor
siis võõra ranna lehka veab iga sõõmupaar ..."

need sõnade meenusid mulle, kui kuulsin omavahel arutamas kahte teismelist tüdrukut, et euro tulekuga neil selline tunne nagu peaks poes rääkima inglise keeles. Noorte tajub ju tavaliselt avatumad kui päevi näinutel ;) , kas mitte ka nende ninad ei haista võõra ranna lehka ja kas meie Vaim ike jääb vabaks?

Arvan, et jääb, kui meil Metsatöllu sugune eestlaulja olemas :)
Aitähh teile!
