For a thousand times early in the morning
Going to hunt when it's freezing out
Led by the white-horn
Wrapped into a fur coat
By a secret large stone
Hunting luck has been begged for
Blood hairs sacrificed
Skull bones dug out
The hunted male moose grunts
For the last time opens its senses
To feel the burn of death
The grim fate of hunt
(Not sure about this one line. See my comment below.)
Into the woods, close to the spruces
The gaze of an animal about to be slaughtered as his eyes
Mind as the killer of a man
From there, under the wings of a willow grouse
Away from the flame of the fire
Even the greatest lord is but a humble servant
Wooden jacket (coffin) soon black dust of the ground
Chime the jewelry and flash the coins,
What would you even buy in the embrace of the ground?
By yourself are you to kill the meat from the woods
And everyone has to lick their own wounds
The forest doesn't need a hunter
like the hunter his forest
Ukko (god of thunder) won't beat during frost
The lands won't rumble when the moon is up.
By a secret large stone
Hunting luck has been begged for
Blood hairs sacrificed
Skull bones dug out
