    "The album «Máizan-Thaw» shows my sami background from a new side, where the traditional, mythical and modern are mixed. Through this album my inner life as a sami girl in the city has manifested. The roots and longing for the nature is present, but at the same time I am drawn towards the urban. The ice i my debutalbum "Jiknon musihkka-Frozen music" (2009) is melting, and what is under the ice is exposed."-Elin Kåven


    Máizan (m'a:jtsa:n) Máizat bivaldit, liehmudit, loikat, suddat. Become less cold, get milder. To become warm enough for snow and ice to melt. Thaw (thô)

lyrics

Lasta-arvi vuovttain
Golle čáhci čalmmiin
Gávttiin čiŋaduvvon
riggodagain giktá

Bákti gohčču namain
Luđiin fille fárrui
geamadagas dánsut
liegga geasseija
Uldá niktá

Gaskaija riemut
geasis ii leat loahppa
Jus seibbiid it leat fuobmán
silba ii šat gáju
Uldá niktá

-

Rain of leaves in the hair
water of gold in the eyes
Dressed in gákti (sami dress)
Tempting with richness

The mountain calls your name
luring you with yoik
to dance in the haze
warm summernights
Uldá allures

Midsummernight feast
summer has no end
if you haven´t noticed the tail
silver will not save you
Uldá allures
