Veps (vepsän kel')

[Linguaphile]

Can somebody add lyrics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV4YsnTGJ4s

Tervhen tuldes, Chitae!

I only understand bits of it. The music and echo-y style makes it more difficult to understand (for me), and I only understand a little Veps to begin with.... If someone can find the written lyrics, I might be able to translate. It's a nice-sounding song!
So she was walking in an unfamiliar village and noticed something.... that's as far as i got.

minä = I
tämbei = today
verhas küläs = in strange/unfamiliar village
kävelin = I walked

uden = new

homaičin = I noticed

[chitae]

There is a movie about the Veps people living in the region not far from Sankt-Petersburg in Russia. It was made by Karelians and provided partly in russian ( with subtitles in Veps), but most dialogs are in Veps language, Recommend for watching.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3e-iPg7svU

Minä tämbei verhas küläs kävelin
Mel’hižen da uden pertin homaičin
Puine pert’ da seižub tvjordal mägudel
Hänen veneh ujub hotkas jogudel.
Mel’hen iknad kactas suven polehe
Lehmäd, hebod tuldas ühtes tanhaze
Herneht kagrad nižud sinä kazvatad
Pöudol radad, devkad lujas navettas
Mitte sinä oled bohat mel’hine.
Ed-ik ota sinä midnai mehele.

Minä tämbei verhas küläs kävelin
Mel’hižen da uden pertin homaičin
Puine pert’ da seižub tvjordal mägudel
Hänen veneh ujub hotkas jogudel.
Mel’hen iknad kactas suven polehe
Lehmäd, hebod tuldas ühtes tanhaze
Herneht kagrad nižud sinä kazvatad
Pöudol radad, devkad lujas navettas
Mitte sinä oled bohat mel’hine.
Ed-ik ota sinä mindai mehele.

I can't say that I understand it perfectly, but this is more or less what it is about, probably with some errors that hopefully don't change the overall meaning too much!

Today I wandered in an unfamiliar village
I thought I noticed a new house
A wooden house standing on solid hills
Its boat moved quickly in the river.
The windows looked to the south
Cows and horses gathered in the yard
You grow peas, oats and wheat
You work in the fields, the girls [work hard] in the barn
As you are rich-minded
Won't you marry me?

Mi meles, se i keles: vepsläižed muštatišed

Mecas pud-ki ei olgoi ühteiččed, muga i rahvaz
Metsas puudki ei ole ühesugused, nii ka rahvas.
In the forest the trees are not all alike, the same with people.
В лесу и деревья не одинаковы, так и люди.

Čomuz’ ei ole kalliž, a kal’hemb om pä.
Ilu ei ole kallis, aga kallim on pea.
Beauty is not as dear as one's head.
Красота не дорога, а дороже голова.

Kal’hemb kuldad om puhtaz südäin.
Kullast kallim on puhas süda.
A pure heart is worth more than gold.
Дороже золота чистое сердце.

Ühtele om hüvä, a kahtele – paremb.
Üks on hea, kuid kaks on parem.
Two are better than one.
Одному хорошо, а двоим лучше.

Mez’ ei elä nimel, a radol.
Mees ei ela nime, vaid teo järgi.
A man does not live by his name but by his deeds.
Человек живёт не именем, а делом.

Mužik ei ole ak, lehm ei ole hebo.
Mees ei ole naine, lehm ei ole hobune.
A man is not a woman, a cow is not a horse.
Мужчина не женщина, корова не лошадь.

Sapkoiden omblii om kaiken sapkata, lačnik – lačuta, a venehnik – veneheta.
Saapasepp on alati saapadeta, tündersepp tünnita ja paadiehitaja paadita.
A bootmaker is always without boots, a cooper without a barrel, and a shipbuilder without a ship.
Портной всегда без сапог, бондарь без бочки, а мастер-лодочник без лодки.

[Naava]

Mez’ ei elä nimel, a radol.
Mees ei ela nime järgi, vaid teo järgi.
A man does not live by his name but by his deeds.
Одному хорошо, а двоим лучше.

Mi meles, se i keles: vepsläižed muštatišed

Tervhuz’ om kalhemb kuldad.
Tervis on kullast kallim.
Health is worth more than gold.
Здоровье дороже золота.

Ühten käden pezed, toine iče pezese.
Ühte kätt pesed, teine ​​peseb ise.
You wash one hand, the other washes itself.
Одну руку моешь, другая сама моется.

Toižele pähä mel’t ei sa antta.
Teisele pähe oma meelt ei saa anda.
You can't put your mind into another's head.
В чужую голову ума не вложишь.

Kaikuččel lapsel om ičeze än’.
Igal lapsel on oma hääl.
Every child has his own voice.
У каждого ребёнка свой голос.

Sures kanzas kaik sijad oma magedambad.
Suures peres kõik maitseb magusamalt.
In a big family everything tastes sweeter.
В большой семье всё вкуснее.

Midä noren opendad, sidä vanhan muštad.
Mida noorena õpid, seda vanana mõistad.
What you learn when young, you understand when old.
Чему молодым научишься, то и старым понимаешь.

Mi vanhemb mez’ om, ka se enamb mel’t-ki hänel.
Mida vanem mees on, seda enam mõistust tal on.
The older a man is, the more wisdom he has.
Чем старше человек, тем больше ума.

Tervhen kaikile. Minun nimi om Eniisi vai Vitalii. Minä elän Petroskoiš da openun vepsän kel't. Om tozi, miše en teda sidä kel't hüvin völ, ika naprin pagišta kaiken-se.
Midä voib sanuda vepsän kelen polhe? Minä openun äjid kelid, ozutisikš, baskan kel't da saksan kel't, ika vepsän kel' om kaikiš jügedamb niiden keliden keskes. Vepsän kelel om lujas äi kändoid. Sen lähižed oma, ozutesikš, suomen kel' da estin kel', ika nene keled el olgoi pojavad lujas. Om tozi, miše erased vaihed oma todeks pojavad, ozutesikš, suomen kelel sanudas «koira» da vepsän kelel sanudas «koir», ika äjad toižed vaihed oma erazvuiččed, ozutesikš, suomen kelel sanudas «tuntea» da vepsän kelel sanudas «mujada».
Nügüd' tahtoin lugeda lühüdad vepsän kelel:
«Astun mecha sen'he,
jogen taga mänen.
Puzuižehe pen'he
bahaloukuid panen.
Panen toižhe puzuhu
rusttad marjad magedad.
Necel pördol sügüzel
miččed päiväd kabedad!»
Kitän.

Hello everyone. My name is Eniisi or Vitali. I live in Petrozavodsk and I study the Veps language. It is true that I do not know this language well yet, but I am going to try to speak it in anyways.
What can I say about the Veps language? I study many languages, but Veps is the most difficult among them. There are a lot of grammar cases in Veps. Its close languages are, for example, Finnish and Estonian, but these languages ​​are not very similar. It is true that some words are really similar, for example, in Finnish you say "koira" ("dog") and in Veps you say ''koir'', but many others are dissimilar, for example, in Finnish you say "tuntea" ("feel") and in Veps you say ''mujada''.
I would like to read a short poem in Veps now:
“I am going to the forest looking for mushrooms.
I am walking in the near to the river.
I am putting mushrooms into a small basket
and into a different basket I am putting big red berries.
The days are so beautiful this autumn!"
Thank you.
