Folk song from Setomaa: “Kari kaugel”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Anne Vabarna in Setomaa and recorded in 1959 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.
