Fantastic music... Always brings so many feelings to my heart...
From what I understand it's a love song? About missing  a darling, right?..

Exactly so and  using harmonious Kalevala-meter...

Ah! Is this song by any chance from  Kanteletar?
Magical! I'm ...( 4 weeks ago by annasworld)
Magical! I'm studying Finnish and some words of the song sounded a bit varied from standard
?Finnish, are they not? Why do they say k äet and not kädet
What is tok'? Totta kai?
And what is Vaanp'?

They  are dialectical/old form.
I'm not a linguistic, but anyways ;)
Singular: käsi (hand), both plural forms: kädet/käet express the 'business a usual' consonant gradation (astevaihtelu) in Finnish but with different dialectical strategies - in the latter the consonant has been totally 'gradated' away ;)
Tok is dialectical form of toki (certainly).
Vaanp' is dialectical form of vaan (instead).

Indeed it is, I've checked it. Kiitoksia!
Maybe you can also tell me... I've always been confused by the fact that there is a song, also from Kanteletar, called Kultaansa Ik ävöivä or sometimes Tuoll' On Mun Kultani, but there also is a song Tuolla Mun Kultani, by Tellu, but despite the same name it has different lyrics and melody. Is it just a coincidence or are these songs connected?
Thank you so much ...( 3 weeks ago by annasworld)
Thank you so much for explaining! I have been so inspired by this song that I  have just completed a (very weak, no doubt) translation into Russian, preserving the original rhythm.
No problem - you ...( 3 weeks ago by EneriGiilaan)
No problem - you are welcome.
Preserving the rhythm of the lyrics in translation is certainly a tall task -  you own my deepest admiration. Unfortunately I don't understand Russian so I can't myself enjoy the translation :(

I'm just a cultural dilettante - so I can only give my impression as a native Finn for what it's worth.
Poems/songs in Kanteletar were gathered from the "East"  - dialect is Karelian and they all(?) follow the "Kalevala meter".
Language of Tellu's song sounds to me Upper-West-Coast (Pohjanmaa) and it utilises more "modern" concepts (late 1800's?).
Perhaps the names are just coincidence: "There Is My Darling" and "There (is) My Darling" seem quite "natu ral/generic" song names - perhaps ;)

It is a beautiful sounding language, so it is entirely appropriate for Finns to be proud of that fact.
There are very few languages that so naturally compliment the resonate tones emanating from musical instruments in songs such as this.
