Sofia Jannok - Irene (Official Video)

Still in love with this song after all these years. Heard it for the first time while visiting Lapland in 2013 and it still gives me chills.

This was the first Sámi song I'd heard, and just love it! The music and the singer are both captivating.

I'm part Sami too my great grandparents were immigrants from Finland, but they died long before i was born so i never knew them. I've been trying to learn more about the Sami culture today and their history so i can understand my heritage better.

[@n0namesowhatblerp362]

Usually the Saamis back home would say, you either are a Saami or you're not, theres no being a part Saami. And that is only meant in a very deep , profund way, not in a nasty mean sort of way. :)

[@annliisajulia7885]

me as well. I’m part sámi and my family came to America and basically left their heritage behind them due to discrimination. I’m glad I’m not alone.

Please, do not call Sami people "indians". And as it is, the ones you CAN call Indian are the ones native to India. The indigenous peoples living in what is now called USofA are not indians. But I love that you love this song and Sami people. Regards, Irene

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Why are you using ''indian''? They are not from India! Colonial mentality. Please decolonize before using degratory and racist slurs, and inacurate names. The Sami, Fins, and Estonians are distant related to 1st nation/indigenous peoples of America!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Sami isn't Swedish but Sofia speaks Swedish perfectly, being a Swedish Sami woman from what I understand. Swedish has a lot of bouncyness, maybe it is from there.

We are many but scattred and divided. The sad thing is that not many of us qualifies into Sametingets criterias of being sons or daughters of Sápmi. It's like we are outcast from politics from both Sverigedemokraterna and the Sametinget. I'm only 1/16 Sápmi but I still think it is a huge part of my heritage and I full out embraces it.

[@rovhalt6650]

@@mrSkandalpolisen Make your own Ting. Who are they to tell you you're not sami enough? And I wouldn't say you're unwelcome in Sverigedemokraterna. I can't imagine they would be against having samis in their ranks aslong as they understand the purpose of the party. Mass immigration from outside Europe is their focus. Not sami culture. No one cares if you're sami.

[@rovhalt6650]

I don't speak Spanish. This is an English translation of the lyrics: Irene In Sárevuomi the earmarked reindeer took off Ántte Nils-Duommá Ber-Ántte Irene The original lyrics have two different versions of these lines but it doesn't make sense to translate those differently in English. The last line mentions two male ancestors of Irene and Irene herself. It is a so called "yoik" with Irene as the subject. The lyrics is just hinting about the yoik's meaning.
