Kohtaus luku .

1Lenti kokko Turjan maasta,The eagle flew from Turja's land,

2Laskiikse Lapista lintu.The bird alighted from Lapland.

3Yksi tuli suota myöten,One came along the swamp,

4Toinen muuta maata myöten,Another by other land,

5Kolmas tuli vettä myöten.The third came by the water.

6Se sitt kovin kohtaisi,Then it met fiercely,

7Joka tuli vettä myötenThe one that came by water

8Sata miestä siiven alla,A hundred men under its wing,

9Tuhatt purston tutkamessa.A thousand in the sail's forelock.

10Mie otan kokolta koprat,I take the talons from the eagle,

11Toiset koprat kontiolta,Other claws from the bear,

12Millä kopin kohtaukset,With these I arm for clashes,

13Ampi tauin ajelen.I shoot, ceaselessly advancing.

14Ota, keito, keihäisi,Take your spears, wench,

15Paha huora, hampahisi,Evil whore, your teeth,

16Pirulainen, pistoksesi,Fiend, your stings,

17Pistä piikisi kivehen,Thrust your spikes into stone,

18Karahuta kallihisenRattle the precious one,

19Ilman piilin pistämättä,Without piercing a hiding place,

20Ampi tauin tarhumatta.Shoot without delaying.
