              • Lähme seda teeda mööda,

                seda teeda tipulist,

                ja tehtud teeda mööda,

                velle raiutud radasi,

                kust on enne orjad käinud,

                orjad käinud härjad läinud,

                mis on jäänud jälgedelle,

                mis on sammuli sadanud

                kulda jaanud jalgadelle,

                hõbe sammule sadanud,

                kes oli hullu noppis kulda,

                ma põlnd hullu nopsin kulda,

                kulda sain ma kuuetäie,

                hõbedat sain hõlmatäie,

                vaske vana vaka täie

                viisin ma kulla kodoje,

                viisin kulla memme näha

                hõbedase õe näha,

                vase vana naeste näha

                memm panni kulla kuivamaie,

                alla kaane kasvamaie

                kuivis kuu kuivis kaks,

                kuivis kuu kolmandalle,

                natukese neljandalle,

                veidikese viiendalle,

                mõne pääva pealekauba

                Kullast sündis neitsikene

                Let's go walking together
                Walking on the forest road
                The road where the slaves have walked
                The road where forefathers went
                What is left in the footsteps?
                Gold is left in the footsteps
                Who was the crazy one to pick up the gold?
                I was the one, who picked up the gold
                I put it to grow
                It grew a month and it grew two
                And grew a day or two
                And then it became a woman

                (traditional song from Estonia)

              • Our hearts stand with Ukraine!

                The aggression on Ukraine has created worries for friends in Ukraine, but also worries for the risk of being countries with borders towards Russia. Having a history of being locked into the Soviet Union, fighting for freedom and sovereignty as countries, but most of all the freedom of speech and interactivity as people and cultures.

                The Kuldrum project is about how cultures in countries around the Baltic Sea connect through traditional storytelling, through common story themes that have been built and evolved through centuries, even millenaries, in people's lives. Russia is of course also a part of this culture evolvement, as the folk tradition goes beyond national borders and men in power.
