Sauna song as a tradition – What is it and why is it sung?<\/h1>\n\n

Sauna song rages and the hot steam produced by the steam rises to cover our body. Warm, but dim lighting creates an atmosphere so beautiful. A cold sauna drink oozes down the throat as a fresh satisfyer, cooling the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a sauna song?<\/h2>\n\n

As a tradition, sauna song and also various spells<\/a> have played a joyful role in Finnish sauna culture. When you go to the sauna together, you can be quiet and enjoy the steam in your own peace, or you can discuss both serious and unnecessary things. <\/p>\n\n

The sauna<\/a> is a place where you can enjoy both the steam and the company, and there is always something merry in the company. Steamy sauna moments are transformed into merry moments with sauna songs, which are easy to learn together or sing sort of. Often, sauna songs go well with rhymes, which adds to the traditional feeling. <\/p>\n\n

Traditional Finnish sauna song<\/h2>\n\n

One example that a Finnish sauna song looks like is “Hello steam, hello warm<\/a><\/em>“: <\/p>\n\n

“Hello steam, hello warm<\/em><\/p>\n\n

hello breath tantrum,<\/em><\/p>\n\n

bath with the warmest of stones,<\/em><\/p>\n\n

sweat old V\u00e4in\u00e4m\u00f6inen’s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

From the steam a fresh bath whisk,<\/em><\/p>\n\n

from the power of tar to healthy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Steam from the stone of the stove,<\/em><\/p>\n\n

steam from sauna moss.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

To make health<\/em><\/p>\n\n

to build the irony,<\/em><\/p>\n\n

to the sore to the anointed, <\/em> to the wicked to heal.’<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Modern mainstream sauna songs <\/h2>\n\n

However, these songs have become friends with modern songs that can often be heard even on the radio and other music streaming services that are also enjoyed outside the sauna. They are sauna-themed songs that are now also played in the newest saunas through bluethooth speakers in the sauna space.<\/p>\n\n

Here are some examples of mainstream sauna-themed songs:<\/p>\n\n
