Hyvää puuta [English translation]

Your arrow flew further, to neighbour’s property,

That bow made of juniper was good wood, of course

Your roots reached deeper, your grandfather was known,

Your great family tree’s branches are good wood, of course

I was proudly jealous because of you, I admit that,

When I go through your door today

So good wood, so good wood, so good wood it is (3x)

You were handsome and grand like a statue of classical antiquity,

You did everything fast and better than the rest of us

Today I step into your house, the windows look to the south,

On the floors oak planks are good wood, I see that

I was proudly jealous because of you, I admit that,

When I sit at your table today

So good wood, so good wood, so good wood it is (6x)

You got a lot from the world, money and love,

Your wife is still beautiful, even with tears on her cheeks

I was proudly jealous because of you, I admit that,

When I carry your coffin today

So good wood…
