Tagging accepted! Good thing that you did, I've been fairly busy and it's really easy to forget or pass things that aren't there, right under my nose. So tagging definitely allowed.
I got a little distracted with listening only how the words sound as I did understand few of the words and sentences. And knowing what the tittle says takes the whole vibe of the poem to a certain direction. But fortunately there were also lots of words I didn't understand when only listening. So all good, I didn't understand everything. :)
The words that I found most fascinating were the ones that either have sounds that Finnish language does not have at all, like the word sagte (the g in the middle which you already mentioned before) or words that might be hard for me to pronounce like stilte. The il in the middle sounds really soft.
And I love the word nutteloos. I think I have to start using it. Everywhere. It sounds nuts and if I pronounce it like a Finnish word, it wounds even weirder and weird is always funny.
I have to confess though, I did a bad thing and did end up translating the poem with google translate because it irked me to understand only few words and even though I know literal translation is really bad for poems and doing it might be bad form, I still liked the overall message. Aaaaaand, I think the Finnish literal translation is way better than the English translation, which, you just have to believe me. Mentions of dancing attracts me like a moth to a light and death suits so well to Finnish mentality.
Awesome that you did this!
