2Mistä vävyni tulevi?Where does my son-in-law come from?
3Saxan salmilta syviltä,From Saxa's deep straits,
4Liexan liioilta vesiltä.From Liexa's abundant waters.

6Juottoote vävyn oronenThe son-in-law's stallion is watered
7Herasista hettehistä,From swift urgent streams,
8Läikkyvistä lähtehistä,From splashing springs,
9Alta kullan kuusen juuren,Under the golden spruce's root,
10Alta helpeän petäjän!Under the shimmering pine!

12Oliko rauniot rahoina,Were the ruins as coins,
13Penin kuormat penninkinä?Penny-loads as pennies?
