Folk song · 1960

Folk song from Kaarma: “Sõõru, lehmakene!”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Helmi Ots in Kaarma parish and recorded in 1960 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.
