Kallavesj [English translation]

Kallavesi, Kallavesi, the lake of the lakes, there my mother

washed my shirts many times, father trapped roaches,

brother, in secret, fished1, peered at women, wooed them

Kallavesi, Kallavesi, you are dear with your reed shores!

There loons2swim all day long, there ships were made

to sail around the wide world, beyond the seas

Kallavesi, Kallavesi, with your islands and straits!

I doubt I'll ever get to go around Puijonsarvi's spit3again,

where the ships shout: Kuopio, Kuopio!4
