An other South-Estonian (Seto) folksong
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApW5N46VSjE&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

A young girl is walking on fields. She sees an old man.The old man is asking "Will you marry me? I am quite rich, you will inherit it all...Marry me!"
The girl: "No, you are too old for me, you are not hot!I want to marry a young, handsome man!"
And "Hoi-lii-lii" is a refrain.

An other Seto folksong.It seems that people are singig it spontanously in a Finno-Ugric festival in Mordovia, Russia.The girl who is the soloist is Estonian, but seems that there are some Finns, Eastern Finnics and Hungarians, too.So all Finno-Ugrians are singing together up

The song is "Pirgo went to Pechory"
And now rough translation on the basis of my poor English.

Pirgo went to Pechory(the "capital" of Seto).Pirgo wanted to drink some
Seto homebrew vodka called hansa.Pirgo was given some hansa.But Pirgo
got very drunk and Pirgo was vapulated and was arrested.
And that is the end of this sad story.Tsukai-nukai is refrain

Värttina - Kyla Vuotti Uutta Kuuta

Estonian band Raud-Ants. They have an awesome mostly folk song in Votic(!!) which is close to extinction. They have several mp3s on their website. The song in Votic is called "Kui miä kazvolin kanainõ", which is the last on the page. The song "Isakodu ja mehekodu" is also really nice.. it says Kolga-Jaani behind it, so Im guessing its the a song from that region of Estonia and is not in standard Estonian.

Theres a Finnish-Estonian band called Poropetra, they have a lovely Estonian folk song Saare piiga (Sung by a finn) but the best example I could find was a 30 second clip on Last.fm
