Lemm[inkäinen].
1Hoip' on moammo kantajani,Oh, my mother is my bearer,
2Armas maion antajani,Beloved giver of my milk,
3Ehol on elättäjäni,In care is my sustainer,
4Rinnoil on imettäjäni,From breasts, my nourisher,
5Tuopas on soti sopaset,There are well-fitted garments,
6Kanna vaimo (!) vaattejaže.Wife, carry the clothes.
7Tunnen tuulet,tunnen tyynet,I know winds, I know calms,
8Tunnen vankat vasta rannat.I know strong opposing shores.
9On on virttä viisi, kuusi,There are five, six songs,
10Sata on seitsemän sanoa:A hundred and seven words:
11Otan virren lippahassa,I take a song from the chest,
12Vallitsen parahan virren.I command the finest song.
13Jouhi häntä juominkih.Horsehair tail in the drinking.
14Tunnen tuulet, tunnen tyynet,I know winds, I know calms,
15Tunnen vankat vasta-rannat.I know strong opposing-shores.
16Hoi on kantajani,Hoi is my bearer,
17Armas maion antajani,Beloved giver of my milk,
18Ehol on elättäjäni,In care is my sustainer,
19Rinnoil on imettäjäni,From breasts, my nourisher,
20Tuos on soti sopaset,There are well-fitted garments,
21Kanna vaimo vaattejaže.Wife, carry the clothes.
