SKVR textEnglish

Saunasta karanneen äkeän (palaneen) luku.

1Puun löyly, kivosen lämmin,The sauna steam of wood, the warmth of the stone,

2Hiki vanhan Väinämöisen,The sweat of old Väinämöinen,

3Henki nuoren Joukahaisen,The spirit of young Joukahainen,

4Monest' on hyvästä tehty,It has been made from many good things,

5Useasta siunaeltu,Blessed from many sources,

6Sekä puusta, jotta veestä,Both from wood and from water,

7Jotta kiukoan kivistä.And from the stones of the sauna stove.

8Löyly kiukoan perihin,The steam to the heirs of the stove,

9Löyly saunan sammalihin,The steam to the sauna's moss,

10Ei ihoon alastomahan.Not into the naked skin.

11Ei ole löylyn löytämistä,There is no finding of the steam,

12Lämpösen lähenemistä.No approaching the warmth.
