Lyrics, LATIN/ENGLISH: 

Quia ergo femina mortem instruxit, 
clara virgo illam interemit, 
et ideo est summa benedictio 
in feminea forma 
pre omni creatura, 
quia Deus factus est homo 
in dulcissima et beata virgine.	

For since a woman drew up death, 
a virgin gleaming dashed it down, 
and therefore is the highest blessing found 
in woman’s form 
before all other creatures. 
For God was made a human 
in the blessed Virgin sweet.

Buorre Beaivi is the 'good day' greeting in the north Sami language and even though this part of our music is not influenced by the Sami music, this was the first time we met again after Mette's study travel to Saltoluokta. Furthermore we performed at the International Women's Day, and the Sun deity, Beaivi, in most contexts is female in the Sami culture.
