Folk song from Jõelähtme: “Hanemäng”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Mari Kilu in Jõelähtme parish and recorded in 1936 for the Estonian Folklore Archives. In regilaul a lead singer sings each line and the others repeat it; the songs were passed on by ear for centuries, at work, at weddings and around the village swing.
