1Missä on liina hiien silkin,Where is the cloth of Hiisi's silk,
2Solmu saatanan lakanan?The knot of Satan's shroud?
3Tässä on liina hiien silkin,Here is the cloth of Hiisi's silk,
4Solmu saatanan lakanan.The knot of Satan's shroud.
5Juokse hiisi helvettiin,Run, Hiisi, to hell,
6Paha vuoreen pakene,Evil one, flee to the mountain,
7Ruma rinnon raunioille,Ugly one to the slope's ruins,
8Helvetin portin eteen.Before hell's gate.
9Hyi! tuonne minä sinun perkele manoan,Ugh! There I banish you, devil,
10Tuonne hiien helvetin tuleen,To Hiisi's hellfire,
11Rutjan koskeen rumaan,To Rutja's foul rapids,
12Pohjan pitkään perään,To the North's far reaches,
13Lapin maahan aukeaseen,To Lapland's barren land,
14Jossa on muutki murhamiehet,Where other murderers dwell,
15Ikuiset pahantekijätEternal evildoers.
16Nyt minä ajan kivut kirkon alle,Now I drive pains under the church,
17Vaivat vankiien majoin.Torments to prisoners' huts.
18Nyt minä revin rikki hiien silkin,Now I tear Hiisi's silk apart,
19Halki saatanan lakanan.Through Satan's shroud I rend.
