Transcription of a part of the sing-speech by the Sauna Sisterhood movie director
Anna Hints

Aitjumma, aitjumma, aitjumma, ait (wir danken dir)

All our shame into sweat and water
Aitjumma…
All our fears into cold water
Aitjumma… 
All our pain into cold water
Aitjumma… 
May we be blessed by sacred waters

Aitjumma from fem* voice circle

Laughing, loving, enjoying each other 
Sharing stories, food and knowledge
Oh Ah Me Su Pa Me Suto Suaha
All our movement into freedom
Moje srce v globine morja
All our friends we can connect with
Go, go, go with the flow
Dance, dance, dance till dawn
May we all care for each other

Aitjumma… 

Aitjuma tulukene (danke liebes Feuer)
Aitjuma kivikene (danke liebe Stein

The song titled “Thank You for the Smoke Sauna” is a South Estonian folk song, featured in the film Smoke Sauna Sisterhood by Anna Hints, with lead vocals improvised by Anna and chorus performed by Marianne Ostrat.

With Anna’s consent, part of the song was learned within the framework of a fem* voice circle, and following a joint reflection on transformative and regenerative practices, we continued the song with further verses.
