[edit] Finnish Tuota toivoin tuon ikäni katsoin kaiken kasvinaian suojakseni suurta miestä lajikseni laaullista ei iso suannukkana eikä äitini luvannu suojakseni suurta miestä lajikseni laaullista mies minulle annettihin uros uusi laivattihin miehen mitta miehen varsi ei ole miehen mieltä päässä miel on viety pää jätetty aivot otsasta otettu	[edit] English translation Maiden years I spent a-yearning, Wistful days I went a-waiting For a mate all main and mighty Man of means for shield and safety. But my father would not hear me, Nor my mother would allow me Such a man all main and mighty Man of means for shield and safety. Mate and spouse my elders gave me, Shipped across the sea to wed me, Great in growth and manly likeness, Lacks the wits of man and sharpness. Head he had but wits were taken, Off his brow the brain was shaken.

Finnish

Tuota toivoin tuon ikäni
katsoin kaiken kasvinaian
suojakseni suurta miestä
lajikseni laaullista

ei iso suannukkana eikä äitini luvannu
suojakseni suurta miestä
lajikseni laaullista

mies minulle annettihin
uros uusi laivattihin
miehen mitta miehen varsi
ei ole miehen mieltä päässä
miel on viety pää jätetty
aivot otsasta otettu

English translation

Maiden years I spent a-yearning,
Wistful days I went a-waiting
For a mate all main and mighty
Man of means for shield and safety.

But my father would not hear me,
Nor my mother would allow me
Such a man all main and mighty

Man of means for shield and safety.
Mate and spouse my elders gave me,
Shipped across the sea to wed me,

Great in growth and manly likeness,
Lacks the wits of man and sharpness.
Head he had but wits were taken,
Off his brow the brain was shaken.
