This tune has been stuck in my head for decades. Can't believe I can finally put it to rest - lol

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

Stuck in the memory is the right word!

[@TukikoTroy]

Same! I'm 63 now and like you I've only just 'put it to rest'. I vaguely remember watching it, but it was the theme tune that stuck.

[@MrsMags7]

Amazed to hear this again after 40+ years, sounds just like my memory of it. Magical!

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

We think and feel the same!

[@aikido735]

As a child,in former Yugoslavia,I watched and still remember this tune after 40+ as someone wrote. Beautiful.

[@arsepirate2132]

Used to watch this in school lessons in mid 70s.

[@0Fuksgiven]

Hated this show but this theme tune was infused to never be forgotten 4 decades later... Cheers for this 🙏🤍

[@eyeteethsightbytes153]

Bought a tear to my eye, I loved this as a child in the 70's. I've been fascinated by the Saami ever since, decades later I went to arctic Finland. The Yoik has always stayed with me.

[@nigelhughes5640]

Im 55 now and this tune has lived with me since i first saw this programme in the 70's.flood of childhood memories came back after hearing this again. Absolutely splendid.

[@annabacher1045]

Same ❤

loy la loy la loy la... OMG! I used to love (actually love) the boy from Lapland. They don't make summer holiday TV like they used to! Thank you so much for finding this.

[@strumbolli]

Summer holidays Uk telly mid 70`s unbeatable

[@ianwiddicombe4407]

How good was this program.. I think it spurred my interest in other cultures, living with nature and all things outdoors. I even learned the lyrics to the theme tune.. Just imagine if they served this up to kids nowadays.

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

Can you share with us the LYRICS, please?

[@Penny-Lane]

36 years ago!!!? In 2 years I'll turn 50 and this songs brings tears to my eyes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING!

I've just had the same reaction! This was great TV indeed!!

[@scioncroft]

I've been trying to find this for so long! Just like lots have said, this tune has been in my head ever since 1976. Thank you.

[@duvalian]

I’ve thought of this song on and off for DECADES ! I was in Iceland a few years ago and it popped into my head again, and so I vowed to find the song again. Well here I am and here it is ! I’m so pleased I found it, it’s exactly how I remember if not better… ☺️

[@Yousef.syria.channel]

På grunn av deres søte kommentarer jeg valgte å se serien i dag 2021 og ble ganske overasket på hvor fin den var. Jeg er 18 fra Syria men bor i Norge. elsker Norske og Samer ❤

[@IqbalHamid]

Brings back sweet memories from my early childhood. Used to love this tune. Do people knwo that this was coveredby a Finnish Joik-metal band, recently?

[@sturlamolden]

No it was not. If you are thinking about Intrigue they recorded a different joik, which many non-sámi seem to confuse with this one. Perhaps it sounds similar, I don't know, but both the lyrics and melody is different.

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

No, we didn't. Now, we'd like to read the LYRICS, the TITLE, WHO composed it?

[@swizzler68]

I must of been maybe 8 or 9 when first I seen this, the song has always stuck in my head. Thanks for posting this!!

[@mikulagen]

I watched it in 1978 or 1979, aged 6 years, in Czechoslovak TV. I enjoyed this TV serial very much, and my grandmother made for me and for my brother, Lapland-like sweaters.

[@lydiamutoti4228]

I used to watch this as a small boy on the children's programs in the summer holidays. I loved it Jonathan Prigmore

[@bloobba]

whoaaa...this the fav song of my childhood...thanks for sharing

[@ladymandynz1]

loved this show when I was younger so great to find the music to it

[@renatakrestova6386]

I heard it today after 40 years. I shed a tear. I’ve been singing this in my childhood without any knowledge of this language :)

[@omorjit]

Brilliant! Remember at the age of six (1974) attempting to sing the theme (plus words) with my mate at school. Lol.

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

Me too!

[@tomnewton9972]

This brings back memories. Long distant ones, like those of Belle & Sebastian and the Woodentops. Black and white, yes, but great TV.

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Tom Newton Spot on ! 👍

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

I thought I'll try and see if it is on KZbin....but I doubted it, I could still remember the tune and my version of the "words" were pretty close ! I love music and a tune can put me back to the time and place memory wise, this theme is probably responsible for me liking world music too....along with "white horses" .....anyway I just thought I'd share that 👍☺

[@TheHelena71]

Thanks so much for reminding me of White Horses! Knew the tune straight away and it brought back lots of happy memories. Sang my heart out!

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

@@TheHelena71 Glad to be of assistance 👍🏻🙂

[@martyne3325]

I actually had a friend from Iceland who couldnt believe it that i knew this TV series , I used to love this theme tune, almost as much as the theme tune to "Belle and Sebastian" [the black and white series]

[@swizzler68]

Wow! Amazing to hear this again in over 40 years, thanks!

[@loobsy1]

Loved this programme, I just remembered it!

[@flippgoofman1868]

Remember this song because it was so unique and like many others here have said, it's floated around in my head for 40+ years. Thanks for posting this.

[@johnkk7863]

I loved this series as a kid, I liked the English translation from the BBC , I have made enquiries as to the availability to buy it from their archives , sadly I have not had a reply yet.

[@DJMIGHTYZION]

Made to find this I thought I was imagining this absolutely used to love this 👍

[@fishlip3]

OH MY GOD!!! My brothers and I used to sing along to this!! Hahahahhahahahahhaa

[@sansar44]

omg remember this show from the 70s

[@Jasonm25870]

Saturday mornings must have had about 72 hours in them somewhere. I only remember Tiswas, Swap Shop, Saturday Superstore, Going Live, Live and Kicking and some other dross I'm not even going to name. There was also Sport Billy and Star Fleet but that's about it. Foreign stuff was usually shown during the week, probably a Thursday like the other foreign import Heidi circa 1978

[@billymarr2514]

Used to absolutely love this, would watch it every morning, then a program called the Magic fountain which was equally as good (anyone remember it?) cant find it on youtube, then id go off fishing. GREAT memories

[@nicmartin4401]

Was it ‘The Singing Ringing Tree’?

Where is Ante now? I had such a crush on him lol in the 70s

[@annabacher1045]

Haha ich auch, hab diese Serie so lange gesucht ❤

[@slapcabbage]

Music The theme music for Ante, Joik written by Kjell Karlsen and performed by Ellen-Anna Buljo, is a traditional Sami joik, an improvised, highly spiritual song. Joiks do not rhyme, and have no definite structure. They are typically about any subject of importance to the singer, and vary widely in content. Purely folk joiks have declined in popularity over the 20th century, due to the influence of pop radio and religious fundamentalism, especially Laestadianism. The theme song was on the Norwegian VG-lista for fourteen weeks in 1975. Lyrics : Antesangen "Man-ne gal' gá æd-ni gán' da læt nu biv-nut-jå. Hå-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá låi-låi-lá Refr. Håi - lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá låi-lái-lá Håi - lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá-lá låi-lá låi-lái-lá Gå dan gabb'ba bæska biddjala ja båddjelii de dat baddjeniedat birra jåradæmen - jå refr.

[@logostranslationsinterpret7459]

Could someone share with us the LYRICS please? And eventually the music sheets in order to study that melody (?)

There might be a Nordic music Association that exists who may be able to help you?
