Barbara Helsingius: Neljä vahvaa tuulta (Four strong winds)

This rousing performance by Barbara Helsingius is a Finnish adaptation of Ian Tyson's popular song with the same name. The Finnish lyrics were written by Saukki. The tasteful arrangement is by the guitarist Heikki Laurila. A little later, in 1969, the Finnish trio Anki, Bosse and Robert recorded their version of this song called "Minne kaunis katoaa" ("Where does beauty disappear"). Its lyrics were also written by Saukki.

BARBARA HELSINGIUS (1936–2017) was a Finnish singer, songwriter and Olympic fencer. Her native tongue was Swedish. She performed in four languages, and translated a lot of Finnish songs to Swedish, Norwegian and English. According to Wikipedia, "She participated at the 1960 Summer Olympics. Trained as a gym teacher, she took her masters in pedagogy at Stanford University (1963). Interested in American art and folk music, she began to record, and her first release, Barbara (1966), was a collection of American folk songs, translated to Finnish." SAUVO PUHTILA (b. 1928) is one of the most eminent post-war lyricists today, both in terms of original lyrics and adaptations. His life's work as a lyricist has been singularly complex and broad-ranging. Although he has produced a huge number of original lyrics, Puhtila is even better known and more esteemed for his adaptations, which his knowledge of languages has allowed him to produce from the originals written in various languages. He has adapted lyrics for operas, operettas, musicals, choir songs, solos, various hits, pop and rock songs and ditties, as well as gospel, Christmas, children's and folk songs. Puhtila's extensive production of original lyrics includes, for example, hits, ditties, songs for various representatives of Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest and songs for musicals, films, choirs, children and church services. His career extends from the 1950s to the 80s, and we can safely assume that Puhtila is the most productive lyricist in Finland, with the largest body of work and the broadest spectrum of genres. More than 2,500 of his lyrics have been released on disc, while the number of his individual lyrics is roughly double that. [He himself reported that he had written the lyrics to over 6,000 songs.] Puhtila did not work specifically with any one composer, but instead made lyrics for several song writers and companies using many pen-names. As well as his own name, he has used about a dozen pseudonyms, of which his nickname Saukki is the best known. Other well-known names include Solja Tuuli, Pekka Saarto, Veikko Vallas, P. L. Saarinen, A. Ojapuu and Timjami. Sauvo Puhtila has always been – and continues to be today – highly regarded and respected among both experts and colleagues due to his superior technique and rich expression, as well as his unique style, which permeates his work throughout.

Selvis is the members' magazine of the Finnish association Elvis ry. Founded in 1954, Elvis ry is an association for professional musicians and lyricists. – English translation of the article: Taina Pemberton, 2017)
