Hi Ann
Have you looked at a partial translation from Google Translate? Move the mouse over the English, and click for some alternate words.
http://translate.goo...%20%20%20CHORUS
or this page under "Broken Fortune"

It's a start
Thanks
Leo
Thanks Leo
, the translation of the 3rd line had me in fits 
I didn't have the lyrics in either Finnish or English so the links are a great help. I've copied the Finnish text and will get it printed out, one of my friends is a good linguist and even if she can't translate them she may know someone who can.
Ann
here's the abc if anyone would like the tune

With the sea to your back (watch for high waves rolling in) and river and backpackers on your right walk "up" the road over Spital bridge( Iassume the road bridge is called that) and there is some wide entrance to track/road going off to the left - and into wot looks like trees/allotments growing Fordtransitii and so forth. There are no yellow lines where that meeets the road. The googstreet is so diff to use --
The wide looking track, California Road, is the access road to several businesses, including a skip hire company, a fishermans net store and a playing field and where it narrows, leading off up to the allotments ( and I think a house somewhere in the trees) there's a gate barrier put across it to stop unauthorised access and parking
Not the underused quiet road that Google maps would have you think it is -
Free 'on street' parking in Whitby is a rare as hen's teeth in the holiday season and even residential areas away from the town centre get clogged with holiday makers parking up for the week.
Are you looking at the path/railings to the South of the Backpackers Hostel or Northwards up towards the Fleece and Church Street? I'll have an amble across there later on to have a look
-
Wherever there's a difference between the dots and what Will plays, WILL IS RIGHT.
Thanks for the link and advice, I've been listening to an old double LP of Scan Tester ' I never played to many posh dances' to get a feel for the tunes but hearing them played live will be much better. -
A rumour is being circulated that a sunny day may attract fly-by-day players to the waterside next to the Whitby Backpackers . Only extras you would need it seems are folding stool/chair, coolbox with refreshments and praps water wings.
Google0map here for street pics of the water's edge.

parking beyond the Spital's bridge (on the left) by the look of things....
I think the row of parking places by the cottages may be private (I'll check) and the bit of handy cobbled 'parking' you're looking at on Google is the slipway ....... and the tide comes in here's a link to the tide tables for August http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/Whitby-20110820.html -
I've been cheeky and downloaded the music even though I can't get to the festival
p.s. the 'Mrs Savages Whim' tune Spare Parts used in the workshops at Whitby last year is being played regularly at the Whitby folk Club ...... only due to being misheard over a noisy bar in a pub it's also known as 'Lily Savage's Whip'
-
Any session pubs closed down as was rumoured earler in the year?
The 'Bottom House' is now flats, the 'First Inn' isn't folk friendly any more, the 'Big A' is still boarded up and I'm not sure if the 'Stakesby Arms' has re-opened yet but I'll find out when I'm up that way to drop some music off for someone
Definitely still going are the Fleece, Middle Earth, Black Horse, Endeavour, Ship, Station, the Dolphin down the Bay and probably some more
looking in the programme Becketts cafe on Skinner St. will welcome musicians and singers and there's a daily lunchtime 'have a go' session run by May Cheadle in the Spa Foyer between 1pm-2pm for people who feel a bit shy of joining in a full blown pub session
-
We'll be there looking for good sessions and workshops.
So far my events programme has highlighter on it for Sunday at the Rifle club 11.30am-12.50pm 'The Tunes of Scan Tester'with Will Duke, and a tie between a music session with Moor Music in the Middle Earth or John Kirkpatrick in the Fishermans (Fisherlads) Rowing Club, both running from 5pm-7pm
Monday there's a C/G Anglo workshop10am-11.20 at the Con club with Brian Peters followed by a quick sprint to get some lunch and meet the Scratch Morris for the rest of the day
Tuesday there's an English music session in the Middle Earth 5pm-7pm with Ken Watson
Wednesday there's Early Music at the Con club 11.30am-12.50 with Andy Casserley and Ian Pittaway then Scratch morris for the rest of the afternoon until 4.30pm when the Coliseum has a concert of Medieval music
Thursday has a clash between the Early music and learning Swedish tunes with a sprint to the Elsinore afterwards to put some faces to melnet names while Friday is either more Scan Tester tunes or an All Systems Concertina forum in the Rugby Club 11.30am-12.50 with Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham followed by Scratch Morris.
Add in all the spur of the moment pub sessions and it's going to be a great week
-
There's a 'Learn Swedish Tunes' do, 11.30am - 12.50pm on the Thursday at the Fisherman's Rowing Club with Vicki Swan on Nyckelharpa and Jonny Dyer on Accordion, any instrument welcome
This sounds good - I'll try and make it (train arrives about 1200 so I should be there for the 2nd half of the session).
Just checked and it's an 'F' price code in the programme so you may be relieved of £5 if the steward is still there when you arrive
-
Unaccompanied songs (occasional accompanied song on 'tina), Scandinavian & English toons are my thing.
I'm looking forward to it.
Steve

yet more .....
there was a new 'Folk in the Afternoon' club which started in May, meeting every Tuesday afternoon at the 'Cleveland Bay', Ings Road, Redcar. TS10 2DDI got to the first meeting and really enjoyed it but haven't managed to get back since. The pub's just next to the Redcar East Railway station.

......... and here's a link to a page giving information for the North East Concertina Players , they meet up in Sedgefield but may have some members near Saltburn

Hello. Here's a facebook page for Saltburn Folk Club , and links to the Cutty Wren Folk Club in Skelton and the 14th Saltburn Folk FestivalHi
I'm shortly moving to Saltburn by the Sea and am very interested to find out what sessions there are in the area. If anyone could help and let me know where they are that would be great.
Cheers
If you can get to the folk clubs someone's bound to know when and where the sessions are
-
There must be another concertina player going with one of the 14 or so sides who'll be there ...... please .... or I'll be alone and palely loitering
-
Unfortunately the 'First Inn Last Out' will be closing it's doors on the 21st of March.
If an alternative venue for the FILO sessions is found before the May and August festivals I'll post it.
The 'homeless' FILO folkies have found a warm welcome at the Whitby Folk Club held in the aptly named Friendship Rowing Club
Not long now to Whitby Folk Week

I have offered to run a 'Concertina Cafe' during the Saturday and Sunday morning of the festival, where players of all systems (or people who would like to play) could just drop in and chat about concertinas, play some tunes, I have a few boxes that people could have a try on if they haven't played before and generally promote this wonderful instrument. Do you think this would be a good idea? are there some players or would be players out there who would like this type of event?
Letting someone try out a spare concertina is a very good way of getting more players, I lent a spare Anglo to a friend, who'd tried an English but not taken to it, and only a few weeks down the line it was being played at a session in the pub and they'd ordered themselves a new concertina
........ and they'd mastered playing and singing at the same time ..... lovely to listen to -
Here's a lovely tune played by guitarist Keith Hinchcliffe of Sheffield . A nice pavan to play along to - from CD Ancient Music 2011
Beautiful
Here's a link to a pdf of the sheet music arranged by Eric Crouch The Countess of Pembroke's Paradise for anyone who wants to try the dots.

A good festival for anyone who might be in the North East (UK) in August
with plenty for everyone. The guest list includes Brian Peters, Ray Padgett and Dick Miles http://www.cuttywrenfolkclub.talktalk.net/SaltburnFF/index.htm -
I think it can be helpfull if you wan't to be able to play a song or tune from memory in the right key.
I often find that a tune has been transposed in my memory by the time it gets played
-
Thanks for the link to the tune book, hours of music there

I voted other and other as the options are too restrictive to describe any style.
ditto....
Melody over both sides and across the rows with chords dotted in now and then along and across rows.
Music played includes Morris, English country dance, Playford, some O'Carolan, a bit of Welsh, the odd tango, music hall, Scottish and a few French, Finnish and Swedish tunes.
Lord alone knows what sort of playing style it would be described as
Swedish Tunes
