From the album Suomi sävelin - Kuoroklassikoita (1998).
Tuuti, tuuti tummaistani,
Tummaisessa tuutusessa,
Tummaisella tuutijalla,
Tummaisen tuvan sisässä!
Tuuti lasta Tuonelahan,
Lasta lautojen sylihin
Alle nurmen nukkumahan
Maan alle makoamahan.
Tuonen lasten laulatella,
Manan neitojen pidellä!
Tuonen tuutunen parempi
Manan kätkyt kaunoisempi.
Etevämmät Tuonen eukot,
Paremmat Manan miniät,
Tupa suuri Tuonelassa,
Manalla majat avarat.
Tuuti, tuuti tummaistani,
Tummaisessa tuutusessa,
Tummaisella tuutijalla,
Tummaisen tuvan sisässä!

This type of lullaby belongs to the old Finnish Kalevalaic folksong tradition. It is really meant to be morbid, to express a longing for death that comes from both children and parents - which may sound way too weird for people today. I don't think it tries to reinforce any "higher purpose" of the event of death itself. I believe the song is rather depicting scenes from such a time and culture in which death was pretty much the only constant in life, when infant mortality was especially high.

This is a very sensitive choir setting to work with even today.
similar to hautalaulu (gravesong), very difficult declamation.

@beginner57 Cradle child to afterlife is raw translation

Thanks for sharing. Can you give an idea about the text of this suggestive video?

How can we ever 'cradle a child to its afterlife'? It is so unnatural, so undeserving, so what it shouldn't be. And is there an afterlife, anyway?
We can only rationalize. Only believe that the death of a child serves some 'higher' purpose, or that this loss will be made up to by some 'higher being' than ourselves.
But sorry, no, I don't believe in 'higher beings'. I do believe in loss, however, and in the human capacity to finally come to terms with the loss of even a hardly started life.

In case someone is interested, this song comes from a time when child death was extremely common. Not only was there famine (especially in the 19th century) diseases and malnutrition, but since there was no birthcontrol often the families had too many kids to be able to take care of them all. In order to comfort both the children and their parents, this song tells about how things will be better in the afterlife, no cold or hunger and the maidens and mothers of Tuonela (underworld) looking after the children. The common ideal was that you shouldn't actively kill a sick/dying child (of course, child killing was punishable by death), but you shouldn't go all out in keeping them alive, either, since death would be much kinder than living in a world full of suffering. Some mothers even wished their daughters would die young instead of growing up and becoming birthing machines to abusive husbands. It's all about the wish that maybe there will be something good coming, in the end.
