SKVR textEnglish
Löylyn Lumous.
1Ei oo löylyn löytämistä,There is no containing the löyly,
2Lämpösen läpiämistä,No holding back the warmth,
3Läpi kuuman kurki-hirren,Through the hot crane-log,
4Läpi kiukahan kivistä,Through the sauna-stove's stones,
5Läpi saunan sammalista.Through the moss-clad sauna walls.
6Itse Vanha Väinämöinen,Old Väinämöinen himself,
7On saanu senkin sanomanHas received this saying too
8Omaltakin Isältänsä:From his very own father:
9"Laki on lahnan suomuksista;"The roof is of bream's scales;
10"Kiuka on meren kivistä,The stove of sea stones,
11"Ovi-seinä Osman luustaThe door-wall from Osmo's bone,
12"Peri-seinä peuran luusta."The back wall from deer's bone."
