4Toin on ehtonen emmois,The second an evening matron,

5Kolmas kurja kumppalis."The third a wretched companion."

6Mie löin kahta kämmentäinI struck my two palms together,

7Ja rokasta roisahuti(n):And splattered filth from them:

8En olt luona luopujas,I was not near the abandoners,

9Lässä hengen lähtijäis,Nor by the spirit's takers,

10Lie kuollut kovvi villuuin,Whether they died harshly in wool,

11Vai lie kuollut kovvi varrii(n).Or harshly in shadows/toes.

12Milläs viene mie issoi(n),How shall I carry the elders,

13Kullas kurja, kumppalii(n)?Wretched gold, the companions?

14Mie panen palttinoihe,I'll place them in linen cloths,

15Silkkirieppuihe sitele.Bind them with silk ribbons."
