Kurittula school is very happy to be able to represent Finland in the Schoolovision 2024 contest! Our song this year is a Finnish children's song Saimaannorppa (The Saimaa Seal). The song is about an endangered Finnish animal species whose protection is important.
The Saimaa seal
(Composition & Lyrics Leena Untamala, Lyrics in English Pauliina Kaksonen)
I’m a Saimaa seal called Armas. I’ve got flippers, missing toes.
I play with friends in water, we fish swirling under water.
You can see me here, on a rock or on the frozen lake.
There are only few of us left, so for our good, please protect.
:,: Hi, hi, I’m a Saimaa seal! Hi, hi, I say hi to you! :,:
I am aware for the lake is so vast. I probably dodge the nets but only just.
I high five my friends and together we start to sing.
You can see me here, on a rock or on the frozen lake.
There are only few of us left, so for our good, please protect.
:,: Hi, hi, I’m a Saimaa seal! Hi, hi, I say hi to you! :,:
I really enjoy just lingering, that’s why I crawl towards the beach and start floating.
:,: Hi, hi, I’m a Saimaa seal! Hi, hi, I say hi to you! :,:

If everyone would take care of nature and animals we wouldn´t need to sing this kind of songs. Continue singing until people open their eyes and start taking care of it.
