1Cawec ennein jaxoin jaxoiAll before, divided divisions
2Cawec ennein päästön päästii:All before, released releases:
3Mix et sä minua päästä/Why don't you release me/
4Luojan luomalle laululle/To the Creator's crafted song?/
5Ei minusa miestö lienec/In me, no folk exists/
6Cuin ei tuosa weickoisani/As not there in my comrades/
7Joca hiisisä asuWho in the sacred grove dwells
8Wuorisa WalaeloIn mountains, Wala's realm
9Sillä housu lahteistaWith trousers from the bays
10Puolda toista polwen päällä/Half of another on the knee/
11Ei tuuli pohjainenganNot even the northern wind
12Hiusta corwalda cohotaMakes hair rise from ears
13Waskinengan wekaraNot copper's edge
14Wää werta hartioistaCrooked blood from shoulders
15Tamminengan curicka/Not oak's cudgel/
16Luuta polwesta porota.Breaks bone from knee.
