Next to persecution, hateful guest,
Terror passed, Hiie hurling,
Polki continenter', anturaine
Traphahutti hokohokoho.
Gather the choicest of brass,
The best of the iron pick.
He drew the sword, stripped the iron,
Tempo, gust, sharp!
Heaved, slashed, carved, won!
Tasted black power.
Turmel' covers the killing sky,
The little cabin is iron.
Tear, bruise, rape, rampage,
I hate fate, the persecutor.
Glow shines from the woods,
Lightning from the danger gate,
A call from the hero of the call,
A sculpture from the winner of the stream:
That is Kauko Suomen blacksmith,
Your blacksmith of Tannermaiten,
Who forges a mighty iron,
Kalkuttelli väkivasken.
Joy, peace, raging gale,
Victory gale force,
Limitsevi vaarahilla,
Mekastavi metsämaiilla.
[English Translation:]
Persecution, hate, fear, Hiisi!
Trampling foot, hand of doom.
One stood up , a man from the mountains
With the steel, the most chosen kind
Drew the sword, pulled the steel,
Smashed, hit with the sharp one!
Dodged, slashed, cut, won!
Had a piece of dark force.
Crushed the head, the tool of death,
In the flash of the steel.
Tore, mangled, raped, stormed ,
Cut down the persecutor
Sweet music from the forests,
Sound of kantele from the mountains.
Played a song about a hero
Told a story about a Winner :
Drew the sword, pulled the steel...
That is Kauko, smith of Finland
Master of the wrought iron,
One who forged the Mighty steel,
One who brought down the Hiisi.
Rejoicing, peace, rough party,
Stormwind of victory,
Going on the mountain sides,
Racket in the forest land.
Drew the sword, pulled the steel...
