Tyvenellä liekki lyhyn liehuu
On dead calm the lantern flame still flutters
Seinillä ruanut, rievut riehuu
Tapestries and curtains on the wall are restless
Kansj' halakoluatikon hakkoo
On the firewood bin a lid keeps banging
Tuoppeja tinasija tuvassa takkoo
Cottage’s tin goblets against each other clanging
Saanankivet seinille sinkoo
Stones of the sauna stove striking the walls
Pihhaan laateet lahot linkoo
Rotten benches thrown out the door
Levoton renki, räähähenki
A restless peon, the raging spirit
Oekeus tuo toes sielulle raahan
Justice would put this soul at peace
Solomis hihhaan surunaahan
Would tie a mourning ribbon on his sleeve
Piällä jos oes puinen palttoo
If he wore a wooden overcoat
Suatas tuota mielesä malttoo
Then he might well show some restraint
Uunista pölläätti tuhkat tuppaan
The ashes puffed from fireplace all over
Palavat pärreet paeskas pelukoppaan
Burning wood splinters cast to a basket
Karkas tulj' pehkuille
Fire jumped to the straws
Pehkuilta seinille
From the straws to the wall
Seiniltä orsille
From the wall to the rafters
Nyt palavasta pirtistä huutaa
Now amidst the fiery house is screaming:
Syytönnä lahattu, suohon haavvattu
Put to death not guilty, into a bog sunk my body
Tytär talon luppauksen anto
The farmer's daughter vowed to be my wife
Kaana ja katteus kalaman toe
Grudge end envy cost me my life
Kirkon kuppeeseen kantakee
To beside the church take my body
Veljmiehelle tuomijo antakee
My brother is the man who is guilty
