The song has a rich history. It is based on a text extracted from a publication called "Vana Kannel II: Songs of the Kolga-Jaani parish" by Mihkel Lemmerkänd (collector/folklorists). He falsely presented them as the song written by E.W. from Sõrve and sent it to Jakod Hurt in 1897. Later, Mari Lepik edited and reused the text by M. Lemmerkännu (H II 58, 363 (1)) in addition to the songs collected from Tiiu Pihler from Kihelkonna Parish in 1898 by August Niemi and Nikolai Kann and from Pöide Parish in 1892 by Jakob Ilves and Johann Keerig were used (EKM ERA, H II 66, 375/7 (309) and 35, 326/7 (188)).8)). Mari Lepik contributed highly to the lyrics of the present recordings. The melody was recorded by Herbert Tampere in 1960 from Marie Martinfeld in Jämaja parish. (EKM ERA, RKM Mgn II 344 b)
Chorus: Triin Kilgas ja Ainika Jakobson
